this is the only change about her i can approve
Fuck that, they need to change her animation so she looks as cool as she does in the load screens. Right now, she just floats there, like she is riding some invisible horse.
I tell you what, Zeus is probably my most hated hero when I'm a support. Deward wars when the enemy Zeus gives a shit are the most depressing thing ever.
Thankfully most zeus players seem to consider dewarding beneath them, but the occasional guy who realises he has a free gem when i'm still scraping together boots makes me want to uninstall. And then when he gets aghs refresher he can kill me whenever he feels like it just to rub it in some more.

Changing abilities to more utility does not necessarily make him support. Although, he gets played in support roles every so often anyway. I mean look at Storm Spirit; he is not a pure DPS hero and can still play a larger role than Zeus. Just because I suggest lowering his damage and making his abilities more utility does not make him strictly a support hero. Hell, I would prefer him a support than DPS considering how easily he is screwed over by pipe.
When you look at the change they did with his bolt and giving it the ability to reveal, that was a change I really was happy with. It gave him something that made him more... useful. Also, by giving him abilities that can make him more useful (and not so easily countered), it would make him get picked more often. Granted, I imagine there are plenty of heroes that are more useful that are picked a lot less.
Not going to discuss the whole existential nature of Zeus being... Zeus. But with that said, I still rather have his abilities re-worked.
Don't know if it has been posted yet, according to V1lat's twitter there will be a second and a third announcement regarding Na'Vi roster changes. Probably Puppey leaving with the third one being the new members.

It's almost certain by now it's Puppey leaving tomorrow. Then 3rd would be Vanskor and FNG joining.
That or, Vanskor joining tomorrow, and LoH joining as a coach (if Puppey stays with the team)

Uh. GIVING? The bolt always had the ability to reveal. Vision has been a core component of Zeus for forever. The Zeus changes have been towards giving his abilities more range, which to be frank is exactly what he needs. He can deal crazy amounts of damage if permitted, but lacks the range to do so without just getting blown the fuck up. The bolt-on-ground change was a nice little addition, too, but if you want to see Zeus picked, it's going to be on the back of increased range and mobility.
I don't understand where your "easily countered" bit comes from. He's no more easily countered than any of the many other casters that can't go through BKB. They get picked over him because he's got no way of getting around. Storm is a splendid example of this. Mobility is king.
bad range on spells? doesnt matter enemies are so out of position you could have 0 range carry cant last hit for shit? doesnt matter he can farm heroes with guarantueed kills with shackle

Would almost think that at that level pushing with wards > everything else.
Any hero that can just take towers is imba at low levels.
