Particularly insofar as duo/trilanes are concerned, it doesn't matter that Ogre himself has a lot of health--you can't punish right-click harassment against your carry without using your spells.

Crystal Maiden is strong during laning phase because she has 600 autoattack range. In addition to her spells, she has great harassment ability because of this. You're not going to right-click people during fights, but you should be doing a lot of right-clicking during laning. | ||

His stun scales badly, not important to keep it maxed. Can occasionally see him roaming due to the stun not needing any levels. Levelling ulti isn't important, freeing up one skill point. This leaves the second and third skill, the third not being that important early game. So you have one spell worth levelling, your slow, which is still decent at level 1 of the skill, your level 2. At level 2 you have close to the nuking power of CM, more single target than AOE though. | ||

or some kind of solo is workable too being melee is obviously bad but its not his main problem, his spells are just really mediocre until he hits 11 after 16 hes really good though his stun is ridiculous at that point and his buff is pretty big as well | ||

Melee supports need extremely game-changing spells to make up for the fact that they're melee. Ranged supports can have less stellar abilities and be ok. Ogre's spells just aren't game-changing enough for a melee support. But if he had 600 attack range, IMO his kit would be ok. | ||

Also Earthshaker can cast his fissure from a ridicilous range and punish people greatly for engaging(trapping them) or blocking them, completly ending an engagement, Ogre magi has to run up and stun. | ||

He can be godlike and useless at the same time think about it this way: bad luck will very rarely swing fights against you, but good luck can easily change the momentum of the game i mean once you hit 16 you have a 1.5s stun on 6s cd, its pretty good as long asyou arent hitting the 1/8 single cast consistently （which is pretty hard to do） besides everyone knows multicast chance is directly proportional to skill level | ||
