I honestly do not think changing his auto damage by 1 will change anything, considering he is melee and does not have AD ratios. with the other changes to him in his damage from his passive etc, that +1 damage might be enough for him to run all armor and still breeze through the jungle. usually a change as seemingly arbitrary as that has a fringe case that a tester found rather than a player. otherwise 3 weeks from now we'd see jungle taric in every game because someone posted some l33t build where taric can get through the jungle with 0% health loss yada yada yada | ||

there is no difference fiora is just another bruiser udyr isnt that good now so i dont know why you'd compare him to volibear anyone can clear now with madreds anyway voli has better ganks better utility compareable tankiness better damage and having to buy some hp pots in the jungle earlier seems like a decent counterweight | ||

Attack speed on Volibear can be pretty deadly. That ult can do so much damage if he's attacking during the entire duration. Wit's end is pretty strong on volibear, old zekes use to be alright too. | ||

The idea of "melee carry" as a glass cannon melee is a total fabrication by Riot. The itemization of melee carries in DotA matches the pattern of those in LoL, which is heavily defensive-item oriented (Antimage's lategame 6-item build for example is basically 1 full-offensive farming item, a full-defensive item, and 3 half-offensive/half-defensive items (analogous to items like Wit's, Hexdrinker, Cleaver, etc.). | ||

I don't play Dota, but from what I understand you gain health from Strength as well, right? The only way to mimic something like that is something like Vlad's passive, which they straight up said they hate (as have many players). | ||

I was going by Riot's definition of melee carry, which as you said, is wrong, and just doesn't work in reality. Which is why Riot's definitions of shit are dumb. You generally need to build melee champs like you stated, or else they just go *squish.* The only real exception are certain assassins, like Zed, but they aren't exactly melee carries or bruisers, but "assassins" which is completely different anyway. | ||

The only way to mimic something like that is something like Vlad's passive, which they straight up said they hate (as have many players). Yes you gain health from Strength. The "half-offensive/half-defensive" items Yango talks about are generally stuff like Manta which gives you a mix of Agi/Str/MS along with utility ability. The full defensive item tends to be a BKB or Heart(Warmogs). Really it's the BKB that changed everything for a melee carry. But ye lol can't really do that since the system purposely took out those complexities. So have to find own way of doing it which I think already happens, people just refuse to believe it or try act like it's something different. | ||

Compared to a Vitality Booster, you're paying for the fact that an Ogre Axe gives you damage as well. This is the problem. AFAIK Agility provides attack damage, attack speed, and armor on agility heroes. How broken is that. LoL had this too - it's called Atma's Impaler. And we all know how popular this item is right now. | ||

Atma's will always be broken or meh because just the idea of getting damage from tankiness (and vice-versa) is inherently something that has the capability to break the game. | ||
