He's already one of the most versatile heroes in the game, and now he has been afforded even more options when it comes to items. I thought it was a good buff for him. Now I don't look as silly for wanting to build whispering helm on him. He still has a really good slow with spray and wards. Now he can get Frostwolf and reduce heroes to a crawl. it makes him more item dependent. just because you can now get an item on a hero you previously couldnt doesnt mean its a buff. you have to consider it in the big picture of timing and the amount of gold you have within that timespan. im not saying if its better or not (i dont play hon), this is just an observation in general about dota/hon. the end question is why should you get frostwolf at some time than some other item? | ||

Axe already seemed like a kickass item for 225 gold, and now it's better? | ||

He's situational just as he is in dota, I guess. On May 21 2011 10:55 Turbovolver wrote: No Silhouette nerf makes me cry, though a lot of the changes are good. Axe already seemed like a kickass item for 225 gold, and now it's better? Silhouette will probably get some tweaking later. Don't think they want to nerf her too much so they're waiting for more testing, The hatchet buff is an attempt at helping melee carries. Ranged carries are way more common in competitive games and S2 is trying to make melee carries more viable again. Not sure what I think about it but it seems really good. | ||

didn't know there was a patch until I saw this thread. There were like 3 instances today where our entire team had fayde cornered with gem and she just disappeared. And every time, we were like... 'illusion rune again, wtf....' | ||

I dun get it I understand when to engage a teaifght how to and where to ward but it seems like every game any lane im not in just feeds or my lane get raped because one of us played a little overaggressive one time and we both die and it snowballs x.x. watch your own replays. know the mistakes you made and figure out why you decided to make those mistakes and what you should to do avoid them in the future. before every teamfight look at the situation, on the entire map etc. as for snowballing effect its your mind. you have to figure out how to deal with a losing lane by coordinating gank, switching lanes, changing game style etc. really, study your own replays. its a bit enlightening. and as always, improve your mechanics | ||

Also FA getting what amount to a ranged cleave is actually a fairly large deal from what I've noticed playing now. She deal a ton more damage in team fights now that she can split shot and still do 100% to the main target. Slither got a fairly hefty nerf with the loss of movement speed app with toxicity. No more fountain deaths I guess. | ||

Slither got a fairly hefty nerf with the loss of movement speed app with toxicity. No more fountain deaths I guess. Carry Slither became much more viable now that he can have an attack modifier independent of toxicity. It's a nerf to lose the slow and the regen loss sucks but there's some positives to it. | ||

Cause you never played a Sven or a ES. ES does one thing better than Sven, and that's zone control, Sven does everything else better. ES tops out in effectiveness at pretty much 11 in the flow of a game (some could argue 9), Sven does not. | ||

It's a nerf to lose the slow and the regen loss sucks but there's some positives to it. True but we have plenty of ranged carries as it was. Slither lost some of his early to mid game potency with the toxicity hit. Sure the extra modifier is great but thats another 5000 gold item he didn't really require before. | ||
