Visage was so much fun when his Familiars were actually badass, now they're so disappointingly poop ._.

Skadi stacks with lifesteal
Lifesteal isn't needed on most melee heroes
Vlads is slot inefficent
what it gives is inefficent for a selfish hero like CK (at least when you compare it to armlet/drums)
CKs ulti is on a too long of a cooldown to use it to split push lanes. That's a minor benefit at best.
The only barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it. It's through our pane (pain) we window (win though).

Skadi only stack on ranged
its situational, though most CK would go HotD rather than Deso/Diffu/Skadi/Mael/Mjol
Its also cheaper for staying in the lane compared to Heart (especially if you're #2/#3)
and carrying the Vlads for your #1 will mean he have an extra slot for other items
a minor benefit true, but it's still a benefit

hihi,
quick question guys:
at the start of the game, do you guys first produce a worker or
do you split them, send them to mine and THEN produce the first worker?
thx in advance.

Skadi does stack with lifesteal even on melee heroes, it's different in dota 2. http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Eye_of_Skadi

I tested it out personally and it does stack.

if rubick steals naga's ult and they both walk into eachother casting the ult, what happens? who sleeps who, are both ults canceled instantly?

Doesn't Naga ult work like Epicenter, as in it will continue to go on even if Naga is disabled? I don't think there is a way to cancel it, or getting BKB on a hero with any disable would be an easy counter to it. With that in mind, but not actually testing anything, I would assume they both disable each other but both songs keep going.

Once u activate it, it's like a buff, similar to epicenter after its channeled. So no disable can stop Naga ult. Would be interesting if u can purge it with SD or diffusal but i dont know if it works.

i see, thanks, purge would be hard I guess since its nearly impossible to get that close unless you bkb beforehand

Most likely sleep eachother for their respective durations.

Wasn't metagame change more than the fact that they completely fucked Soul Assumption's mana cost.

in a trilane visage doesnt need to use any other skill than soul asumption
in between ganks he has more than enough time to regen a fair amount of mana with a rob
he was still used a lot even with that high mana cost,when global ganks with gargoyles and aa ice blast for example was a huge trend

As far as I remember, people still used him after the bump from 100->150 mana cost, but I don't remember him being used at all after the second nerf from 150->200 mana cost at rank 1 in 6.72.

Oh, so its the high mana costs early and if the enemy bursts your guys down while they stun you and back away you cant retaliate because your charges are gone?
