Yeah I dont think the model really fits well with DotA. I like the goblin shredder idea for the model instead. I wasnt really a huge fan of his skill set either. Guess it just not my style of play.

Nay as a poll option doesn't really encompass the fact that i think this new hero is bland, boring, stupid, and uses so many rehashed old concepts its unreal. I was hoping for more new heroes in the vein of huskar or pitlord, which both have interesting mechanics, instead of a pseudo str puck.

leshrac's edict
furion's sprout
pudge's hook / panda's grapple
invoker's sunstrike

basically, icefrog used old concepts, added mini-stuns, and shit out a new hero

yay

p.s. howl + spiderlings = insta-kill

man, if you can hit your ults with clockwerk he's such a kickass ganker. but honestly not a big fan of this new hero.. maybe if they just changed his character model i dunno.

im kinda surprised he's a str hero after seeing he has 4 active spells - _-;;

I actually like the new hero. He was a bit boring at first, but when i got to play him for a bit it was really fun. His ministun skill has a kind of luna-ish thing to it, since if you happen to meet someone in the woods they dont have much of a chance to get away from your mighty wrench. For some reason i find his ulti much harder to aim than Meat Hook and Elunes Arrow, even though it's much faster. I probably just suck.

Lycan was good before, his only lacking skill was howl.
Now howl rapes and you can even use it early game for some strategies if you want to completely out-last-hit the other team if you had 5 testies with howl... ho shit. 4 ranged users + howl.
Gets wet.

Don't need SNY on him anymore;;; imba lycan
He's slightly weaker in some ways obv, the MS / very short shape shift. Get the job done ASAP plz. But this shape shift timer doesn't go down in sheep/voidsult etc.

lunar blessing + trueshot aura + command aura + howl + shadow fiend = bonerz evrywher!1

level 16 SF, 5 levels in stats (with 4 necro, 4 raze, 3 ult), 74+10 base damage
assuming auras are based off of base damage, 84*(1+.27+.36+.28)+60+44 = 264.44 damage, naked

add a lothars and you probably have like, 300 physical damage

O_O

or use empower instead of one of the auras O_O
