I CANNOT think of any other reason why you would make spiritbreaker that way ?? What's wrong with spiritbreaker now? He's got changed so much recently, probably because Icefrog is trying to find a way to make him actually good. I guess he's pretty annoying and imba on pubs if he gets fed early then goes around charging everyone? >_< And your idea of Icefrog making bad changes to get people to move is pretty ridiculous. Charge of darkness got reworked so now he runs really fast and ignores terrain, but he lost his magic immunity. + Show Spoiler + Old Charge of Darkness: ======================= Takes up to a few seconds to charge up and then starts moving towards his target. Speed is based on how long it charged up for. Charge time: Up to 4 seconds. Charge speed: Up to 60% Stun: 1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 seconds Notes: 1- Gains vision (and truesight) over his target while casting. 2- Becomes magic immunity only when fully charged. 3- Target has a debuff indicator when Barathrum is within 2500 distance. 4- Speed bonus is retained for 2 seconds after impact. 5- Becomes interrupted if the target dies, becomes decrepified or cycloned. Cooldown: 40 Manacost: 75 Casting Range: Global New Charge of Darkness: ======================== Immediately charges towards the targeted enemy unit. Ignores pathing completely. Stuns the target when it reaches it. If the target dies, charge will automatically resume on another nearby visible unit. While you are charging, all secondary units within 250 AoE of you are hit by a greater bash equal to its level. Primary Target Stun Duration: 1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 Speed: 425/500/575/650 Cooldown: 40 Manacost: 75 Casting Range: Global Notes: 1- Gains vision in a small area around the target. 2- If target dies, the charge will transfer to the nearest visible enemy unit 3- Stops if you become stunned. 4- Target has a debuff indicator when Barathrum is within 2500 distance. | ||

I feel that i am watching a circus half the time with an autoattacking chrono in my lane. How hard is it really to time a last hit. If it is extremely difficult buy an axe. This drives me nuts. I see this all the time. The carry either auto-attacks, focuses on denies (wtf?), or just misses their last hits. Even worse in mid-game I'll work hard to secure a lane for a carry and they'll go and just auto-attack + spam spells and push it all the way out right away rather than farming it in place by carefully last hitting. People suck at last hitting because they don't care enough to work on it. From my friends I get the impression that it's not really the game to them so they don't work on practicing it even though it would help them win more. So the trick to getting good at it is just focusing on it and trying your hardest to get last hits. Some of the things to note are: when you attack (try to remember what the bar looks like when you give the command to attack), the distance you attack from, and the direction you are facing when you attack. When possible be close to the creeps, facing them, and using hold position so you can attack with the lowest possible delay. As melee it's trickier, but pay attention to when you're darting in to last hit and what kind of path you have to the creep (are you getting blocked on your way to the creep for example). | ||

The best part is when mid comes to your lane after you repeatedly told him not to, and then walks right into the lane from the wrong side at the worst moment. He aggros the enemy's creeps and runs back in the jungle, only to come back after he shakes the creeps off to nuke your lane and steals several creep kills before walking back to mid. | ||
