Walrus Kick... what do you do with it? Paying 4200 gold for a knock back with no damage and yet another (and almost unneeded) slow/stun? Maybe some defensive capability? I'm sure it has good use I'm just not seeing it.

Well, you could kick someone out of the fight to watch him try and squirm back in. Or, you can blink, kick an enemy back to your teammates, then snowball to him. Or something like that.

Eh. Force Staff. I'm starting to think this is an official troll from Volvo.

Nether Swap with a blink.

Support Tusk sucks in late game. Aghs makes him suck less by giving some scaling.

It's a repositioning tool; In a game where positioning can decide fights and entire games, the ability to screw with that is invaluable. Especially since it's really hard to punish Tusk for going Blink Dagger -> Walrus Kick with Snowball being a thing.

Like, as an example as to how crazy strong the ability to isolate an enemy hero and move them out of position; Look at Batrider, the hero who got nerfed for like 13 direct patches and has only just truly appeared to fall out of the meta. Of course TI will probably prove me wrong on that but hey

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

Hie guys,
I have never put much into Walrus Kick, because of the here mentioned no dmg etc. But I just had a game where I bought Aghanims Sceptre very early and witnessed its power.
Walrus Kick is a hard counter for kitable carrys. these include Ursa, Sven or Lifestealer. They usually appear right next to you and kill you (most times with some form of spell imunity). With Walrus Kick you can push them out of any fight very easily.

In my specific game I always kicked naix away right when he went into rage and slowed me / a teammate. One Walrus Kick took him out of the fight completely (5 Sec of strong slow and a stun is heavy).
I had to laugh at how easy i could counter this hero who before was a no so bad pick against tusk.
