it's still to early, but I feel like ember and earth are really strong. Ember seems to be the strongest damage wise while the other two have better CC, I think storm is middle of the line for that and Earth has more CC and utility than actual damage.
Earth feels REALLY strong but harder to execute, and will be dangerous in good hands, while storm has always been decently strong, and ember serves as a good ganker/carry if he can get in range for a Q with his R.
Right now my bets on Earth just because of pure skill cap being higher than the others but I could be wrong.
Earth Spirit. More of a support fighter and is tanky as balls while still having a super charged version of Distruptor's Thunder Strike which is super awesome plus it has the ability to chain for a long time. I just don't like that the only real way to make him feasible is to spam Stone Remnant.
so after trying ember spirit in a match... mid lane roaming ember spirit is pretty strong my farm sucked this game but I was almost never in lane for any reason other than to kill the blood
Ember Spirit is the strongest individually of course (sleight is really powerful, prob going to be nerfed next patch imo) but Earth Spirit gives SO MUCH utility. A silence, a slow, a stun, and a very poewrful ult that can control teamfights.
He's the hardest to execute, his Q alone is so difficult to master because of how dynamic the range is (this applies to all of his skills) but when he works, he works great.
I'm pretty sure at the end of the day it's Storm. Top tier competitive pick against a lesser Anti-Mage with horrendous stat growth and a utility melee strength hero with nowhere to lane in a real game.
Earth Spirit is the most versatile one, as he can probably fill the mid, support and even off-lane role. I see him viable for the competitive scene too, it's like an Elder Titan- Tusk hybrid.
I still like Storm a lot though, but I've yet to see whether or not he is outclassed by the Earth Spirit; Ember is good too but it's the initiator kind of Hero, which usually doesn't get much attention unless he has a very difficult spell to land ( Black Hole anyone?). I'd put Ember Spirit last, but it's still a strong pick if you can combine him with AoE disablers thanks to his Flame Guard and gap closers.
