I feel like all Icefrog did was make X slightly worse at ranks 2 and 3. Rank 1 still blows, and rank 2 and 3 still do what they did before cuz they're limited by range, while still just having shorter range than they did before.

Also, he fucked over anyone who just left X on 2 or 3 and never learned to combo with rank 4 X lol.

well ursa's best lifesteal was vlads a decent portion of the time and those still worked together.

Really ursa doesn't need agi at all ever since he gets as much damage from strength due to his ult and the attackspeed is irrelevant when he's at cap. The purge sucks compared to just blink + clap since purge has worn off by the time u can run up to most heroes. Basically diffu is the same as it always was: there to purge off ghost sceptres and other jazz. Which isn't different, its just that more heroes can now situationally buy it. Its never worth mentioning in a guide imo.

Also u can't possibly leave x at level 1 its like 325 range now or some shit thats unuseable

And no u can't max q on qop the whole reason u max blink is the CD not the range. The range is just a nice buff.

I dunno what ur current Earthshaker build is but there's like no way u can't justify a point in enchant totem super early now at just 20 mana that skills nuts. Even as like position 6 support totem is still legit in lane at level 2 as a free extra auto.

I think you only need 1 level in X-Marks now since 1 point in it is enough to set up all your combos. (not sure how the range nerf will affect it though. I might be totally off base on this one.)

For Sniper, I would suggest changing the skill build to be E > W> E > Q > W> R > W > W> Q > Q > R > Q > E > E
(2 points in take aim at early levels; 1 point in headshot and shrapnel. then max heashot and shrapnel. take the last 2 levels in take aim at 13/14. Early levels in headshot give sniper a fair bit of damage. You only need 2 levels in take aim to out-range a tower which is usually all you need. I've tried the build a few times and I think it works.)

I mean you'd always skill 4-1-1-1 if you were mid Disruptor (which no one ever does, but is actually pretty legit), because you'd get Glimpse ranks up in time for anything you'd need to do with it midgame anyway.

Glimpse was always kind of ass early game due to the need for damage, the thing is that a lot of the really retarded things Disruptor forces a team to do midgame require high ranks in Glimpse. Like how you can't have 4 people defend a tower vs a 5-man push with Disruptor and wait for a guy to TP after they engage because Disruptor's always gonna Glimpse the 5th man. You kind of need rank 3 Glimpse to be able to comfortably do that from wherever you are in an already-engaged fight. The change doesn't really do anything with that--it's just a minor CD change and a mana cost change which is nice but doesn't change why you leveled the skill.

I mean as Sn0 said, most of the time you were still getting Vlad's on Ursa, which didn't fuck with Diffusal to begin with, and that didn't make it anything better than situational.


The CD's WORSE at lower ranks now, I don't know what you mean by "the cd isn't so bad now".

wat level of x (read: range) do you need to guarantee a boat hit?
