Kaolin cannot. That doesn't mean he is underpowered, it means he is different. Everything he does in the interim affects his power when the real fight comes. If he wants to be at 100% effectiveness for a teamfight, he must start playing much more passively than he otherwise would in order to conserve stones. They are fundamentally different mechanisms and there are very few other heroes who operate like this. I think that 30s stone cd is probably fine, and I think there's no point buffing him further until we see him in CM. But whether or not it's fine is much more complex than pointing at other heroes' ult CDs. | ||

Every hero isnt at 100% capacity when his skills are on cd, and yet some are still picked, get over it kaolin can do quite a few things with only 2stones btw | ||

It also helps that ES is great at helping his team disengage from poor situations, so those awkward teamfights can be delayed a little to make them stronger. Using ES for ember spirit is not very unambigious | ||
