too strong. There is a difference in immobilizing 1 hero and 3. I think it is too much.

huskar nerfed so hard :c

Legion aghs is OP.

CK buffs undeserved.

What the hell were you thinking when you nerfed invoker?

nobody messes with invoker. He's just too hard to balance. needs a lot of thought.

and he has been nerfed a lot too.

Well it's a 180s cooldown to have 3 charges of it. (And you don't retroactively gain charges on getting the Ag's, which I probably should've mentioned). So I'd argue it gets balanced out a little bit.

Eh, I personally find Burning Spears a little obnoxious having an 8 second duration, given then stack. I think it's a fair trade to increase his effect harrass range, but make his harrass damage less silly. If I really wanted to kill the hero, I'd stop it stacking, and just have it refresh the duration instead.

I think that needs buffing, quite badly. He's worthless as a competitive hero (And I maintain that patch-logs are based around balancing the competitive game), and to my understanding it's based around two things; His snail's pace farm speed, and the fact that without ulit up he's pretty useless. And the cooldown on having such a long cooldown does not help this. So, I've improved his rotation ability slightly (Or at least given him stronger kill potential in lane), and decrease his downtime.

See I was unsure of how do what I wanted to do with , so I did something extreme to help get advice for it. What I want to do, is to make focused (So either -, or just ) a viable build compared to -. Since - just seems to be a better build. I was thinking of just having the damage increase, and maybe like a buff to the lower levels of , but not entirely sure.

Next part of this should be up soon, and thank you for feedback thus far.

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

buffs boys. Such strong support, now he is the absolute strongest laner in the game.

That buff might actually be too strong tho. If you want to make a laning ability its probably going to be pretty OP. Because they must wait 20 secs for each last hits and lack of purge in lane made the ability OP.

pls no lane

That Invoker change... please no
If you want more Exort players either improve alacrity to make physical dmg invoker more viable or increase damage of the single skills. Buffing the exort orb effect won't do much.

I can decrease the duration I guess. I just don't think the hero is very good atm, and want to give him something to make him more than just a set-up hero. (And even then I'd argue he's outclassed at that nowadays).

seems like a decent way to do it, because it's a great ability, but gets kinda under-used in my eyes.

As I said, controversial with the intention of breeding discussion.

I'll update it with something... more sane soon enough.

Part 2 is up btw.

now deals 80% of burned mana as damage.
cooldown decreased to 60s.
I don't know if AM needs really a buff, he's getting picked regularly, those buffs aren't really that reamarkable so I think it's okay.

Berzerker's Call cooldown increased from 16/14/12/10 to 20 at all levels.
Duration of BerzerkerÃ�ï¿½Ã�Â¢Ã�Â¯Ã�Â¿Ã�Â½Ã�Â¯Ã�Â¿Ã�Â½s Call on Magic Immune units halved.

Boar Armour increased from 0 to 2 at all levels.
Boar HP increased from 200/300/400/500 to 250/350/450/550
Axe buff is OP, take into account that it's the damage times two, lvl 1 axes would deal 180 dmg and lvl 4 axes would do 480 dmg

Base agility increased from 24 to 27.
duration decreased from 12s to 10s
Added AghanimÃ�ï¿½Ã�Â¢Ã�Â¯Ã�Â¿Ã�Â½Ã�Â¯Ã�Â¿Ã�Â½s Scepter upgrade; now can gain up to 1/2/3 charges, with Charges being accumulated every 60 seconds.
This is OP I think. Granted, it's on a 180 sec cd for triple , but you will get a single one in at a third of that time, it's not like it's a which you can only use once per 180 sec. Plus, it has a wicked range, so it's a guaranteed disable.
