Trying to bring that silence down to .75 seconds and the damage down to around 400 is going to do nothing but gut the hero. The correct sequence of events is blink->silence->coil->orb->attack or phase shift while waiting for the orb to move to a safe location, then finally jaunting to it to get you out to a safe distance. If you're dying while initiating, then you must be executing it improperly, either by not shifting at the right time or by going in when your team isn't ready to fight. hmm welp i sometimes overextend and initiate on my own. i remember screaming at my friends why didn't they go in when i got a 5 man coil and they were all farming lol
Well, that would be it, then. Puck's damage is just slightly too low to net kills on anything but supports by himself, unless you buy Dagon. Make sure you have backup with you, and that you're on the same page regarding the gameplan. You're not Storm.

The thing you have to realize is that pre-level 14, most of your ideal Blink engages aren't Blink->Coil, they're Blink->Rift->Coil. In this case, it's not actually Phase Shift ranks that get you out of danger, it's having a long enough silence duration on Rift to guarantee that Orb goes far enough for you to disengage. Because silenced enemies can't cast disables or nukes at you, if you got an effective initial silence, the long silence duration protects you on the way out.
Being 4-1-4-2 doesn't make you safer on typical engagement patterns, because for the most part, Blink isn't what's getting you out of danger--you're using Blink to get IN and Orb to get out.
oh so that's how it is
i actually don't have problems surviving when my phase is maxed.

Someone posted this: + Show Spoiler + on reddit. It's lina's balance history. It's crazy if you look at Fiery Soul. When it was added in 6.50 it used to be 20/30/40/50 attack speed, 2/3/4/5% movement speed for 5 seconds. Now it's 40/55/70/85 attack speed, 5/6/7/8% movement speed for 9 seconds.
Level 1 fiery soul is now much better than level 4 used to be back then. That's amazing! :D
|
well back then it was common for people to not even level it until they had it, effectively making her a 3 spell hero
|
all in on alliance for d2cl 
|
Lina is still a pretty bad hero. Not sure how I'd buff her but Fiery Souls is almost irrelevant to how good she is unless it tips into the "ridiculous" level.
|
need the hon change, give lina passive increased cast speed on her spells

Doesn't ever work in TFT. If it gave her bonus magic damage with her attacks, then you might have something.
Or maybe if her BAT and attack animation were reduced.

i think i finally do what valve intended to do with the report system, i just report everyone everygame and now i get infinite reports
|
Fiery Soul doesn't synergize with Lina other spells.
They should change Fiery Soul to something similar to DP Witchcraft.
Remove the attack speed bonus.
Keep the movement speed bonus.
Make it that it reduce manacost by 10/15/20/25 and cooldown by 0.5/1/1.5/2 on Lina 1st/2nd skill.
And buff its ulti dmg by 50/100/150/200
I just solve Lina problem.

My companion (not really). I have 223 reports I can use at this moment, been dropping a bit lately. I had around 1k used before they went down to 2 reports a week and they are still ticking in.

i cant remember the last game were 2 people had an argument in chat. most of the time its just 1 guy chatting and the other guy is spamming "well played" "we need wards"
6.81 where are you?
|
I usually report people that I regularly meet in ranked just to fuck with them.
|
I think I report at least two people a game at this point. I'm on a terrible losing streak
|
I think they should consider pulling an Earthspiritbuff on lina. If you %-wise/bat buff her total attackspeed and numberfy her movementspeedbonus she would be picked alot more.You can create a build around that. Maybe increase manacost for Q and lower manacost for ultimate while we are at it.
