Any thoughts on the new curse? Might it actually be viable now?

Also I'm surprised TC ult didn't get nerfed in some way

400 potential aoe damage? of course it's viable lol

the problem with some heroes is that if youre giving up skills for stats in 90% of the games they're in, you need to fix that shit asap

Last Word got an insane buff. I-n-s-a-n-e o.o;

Silencer needed a buff, but wow. If there's a silencer in the game, make sure your team is a lot better than theirs.

New silencer is stupidly overpowered. With a 900 range, any opposing hero in that range that dies loses 1 int and silencer gains 1 even if he doesn't get the KB. In a pub game I just played, a silencer on the enemy team by the end had a base of over 100 int x_x. The new watchers from weavers are really useful too, just burrow a few down a lane if they're pushing and pop them up and silence during a team engage. (Though, it feels like their sight range is lower, they're pretty fast though, at 450 ms that's more than fast enough to unburrow one or two and run them over to a fight to save an ally or for a gank)

Yeah I don't think that was intended, right now it's stupidly broken,seriously I don't know what goes through Icefrog's mind at times. All he really needed before is a slight upgrade in MS and STR growth, not this shit.

gem should cost ridiculously cheap in the beginning (but unable to be dropped and picked up later) and grows in cost as time goes by :D

but then there is the question of wards...
