Especially since the Axes damage type change made him way worse at one of the things he was sorta-ok-but-not-great at. | ||

She seems kind of weird in that she's a little defensive and a little suppressive, but not enough of either to really get the job done. Q is annoying but isn't going to be able to bully a lane out like silencer etc because she's useless for the other 54 seconds. Cold embrace is okay, I guess, but surely the other guys can just reposition around it and then kill the hero after? Plus it does nothing against magic initiation. | ||

Like, I guess you could max Arctic Burn first if you're gonna save stacks and shit for someone else to clear, but why the fuck would you do that in a pub. | ||

On the other hand you could just help people kill stuff and be useful in lane. A.K.A play dota. | ||

It only lowers the cd and increases your attack range a bit, the nuke gives much better killing potential for further points | ||

AB's increasing range and slow is important all the time, not to mention cooldown reduction from 50 to 20. You can harass with it easier, slow is easier to hit, stronger, hits much faster and makes enemy anxious, because it is also a good setup for your allies. Plus it gives you an escape of some sort. AB is more realiable all around. Except when you want to farm stacks or 5man fight all day. | ||

You could possibly get more out of Arctic Burn at 4/5, but it's kind of questionable because it's not like a straight-up nuke that also gives you more damage, it just makes the skill overall more comfortable to use. Once you hit 6, your ult guarantees Splinter Blast on everyone who's caught in it, so at that point, it's gonna be more effective thanks to being able to combo it together with your ulti. IDK, you could make the "just go kill shit" argument with a ton of greedy supports like Sand King, but people definitely play the Sandstorm farming build a lot more these days even though Burrow max was the way to go for years. Like, Arctic Burn is definitely the better fighting skill, I'm just not totally sold on just going to fight with the hero at level 4/5 rather than playing him a little greedier. Heroes with straight-up rank 3 nukes/hard disables are going to be better at doing that. | ||

not sure whether to max arctic burn or splinter first....arctic burn doesn't seem to scale as well, but i find splinter unreliable to land. i like the idea of farming stacks with max splinter at lvl 7 though | ||

You can do either, sometimes your team doesn't even need you to do anything at that time. I would prefer trying to be useful early as WW if I would see any room for it, and I would prefer maxing AB first in that case. | ||

Same fate as we'd see for Windrunner, as she was eclipsed by Tauren Chieftain (Elder Titan). None of the older players are nostalgic about her because they didn't grow up with her, and none of the newer players know a damned thing about her. Wasn't Windrunner released the same time as Kunkka | ||

Can confirm, played a game recently with WW/Oracle as supports. We got strictly crushed in lanes and lost the early-midgame hard--then when the enemy team was pushing mid rax with aegis at 22 min we hit a good call -> winter's curse -> arctic burn to slow them all down so none of them can run away -> teamwipe which completely turned the game around. Once troll got farmed our teamfight was disgusting--troll is invulernable because of false promise, and global/call/curse messed them up super hard. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1233092317 Again though, if they hadn't thrown so hard by clumping during their GG push we would have lost the game in 30 minutes. Not a support combo I would pick in most games. | ||
