Is Ember... Broken?

Ohhh the humanity...


I guess thats what "reworked" means in the gamepedia balance changelog

Well he is not broken, certainly very good, i think its fine if he receives some cast time on remmnant since its a more versatile morphling ult.
Broken was old earthspirit.
AND TERRORBLADE IS NOT OP DAMMNIT, HE SUCKS AGAINST SO MANY DRAFTS.

Can be pretty bad, especially if he snowballs (well duh). The key is to have reliable CC/silences and then he can be pretty easy to deal with. He has very weak stat gain is very reliant on hitting hard and not getting hit back much - I would say there's perhaps a slight issue with his cast speed - those remnants combined with insta-cast can be hard to deal with, let him TP back to base to regen, them be instantly back on the field.

Ember really relies on getting a constant flow of farm coming his way. Seeing that he only really starts shining once he gets his first Battle Fury and a second core item. But that being said; he is one of the worst enemies to face when he's six slotted.

The thing is, that's not enough, you need blinks too.
Sleight of Fist has 700 cast range and an even bigger effective cast range because it's a huge AOE (he can hit you with only the tip of the AOE). He can just sit back out of range of your stuns and spam W, while kiting with remnants.
Problem is to really get a clean blink-stun on him BETWEEN the end of his SoF and when he just remnants away. And to do that...while SoF disables your blink.

The best way to deal with ember is to gank him early and make sure he is behind. He farms slowly before his first baatle fury so you will have to delay that.

Like Storm, he's food if you gank mid before he hits 6, after that you can't do ****.

OMGWTFH4X.(LOL)
Hell yeah! gimme 40% lifesteal, let me get SnY and i solo you all!
Those were the halcyon days.
Been about 7 years already. Sigh. I should quit now i think.

Naix is still surprisingly good. He's just got hit with much needed nerfs and also the meta switched away from him.

Ember Spirit is a snowballer. You stop him like any other snowballer: DENY THE FARM
- ganking
- aggro laning
- pushing
- warding camps
etc
