You can't even compare invoker with spectre, spectre is beyond anything I've ever seen in dota.

I cant disagree with him. Lategame invoker is insanely strong.


But he can still lose games.... late game spectre is practically immortal.

Sure but invoker is insanely strong AT ALL TIMES



true enough. Its kind of interesting how hes gotten like this. Given hes gotten a succession of nerfs over the last year. (deafening blast mana cost, deafening blast not being hard disable, invoke cooldown to 4 seconds (2 with aghs), intelligence etc). Makes me wonder if hes just been really under utiltized in the last few patches or if the meta just supports him right now.

Invoke cd is a buff, i am fairly certain, as is intelligence.

He got broken the patch they made invoke free on top of buffing alacrity, even if he was viable in 6.85.



no... Invoke used to have no cooldown with Aghs. Not sure how that was a buff? I believe level 4 invoke also used to be 3 seconds,and its now 4 or 5... They also nerfed alacrity, not buffed it.

Literally the only buff they gave him is giving you an automatic point in invoke off the start of the game (which is huge).

You just made me look it up against because i remember Invoke had cooldown with Aghs when i started back in 2013.

And you are wrong.

> 6.54

> Reduced cooldown from 30/30/15/5 to 30/25/12/5.

And seriously, man, read changelog on Invoker. It's amazing how quickly it all stacked up over time despite sensible QW nerfs.



Ah i forgot about the early levels. But im sure aghs gave it no cooldown at some point. Those are just base levels. Can you look up the Aghs changes for invoker? I cant seem to find anything.

Now that pros pick it, she gotten a higher profile so she's picked more. Even when she was picked less in pubs, had the same win rate. The problem in pub games isn't Spectre's abilities, it's the teams playing vs her.

I disagree, spectre became insane with comeback gold, no more, no less. It was rather easy to punish spectre before that and took some serious team effort to hold before she came online or some throw from opponents.


Comeback gold was around during Sniper/Troll patch but she wasn't picked much if ever. Spectre's all time winrate is fifth, this is from beginning of dotabuff data. Way before comeback gold.

iirc it was 2 seconds with aghs, don't remember it ever being 0
