Echo Stomp, just without any invulnerability and scales with the targets health to ensure them to at least take sizeable damage if it does indeed end early. As the stun is applied on top of the slow, the target will remain chilled and slowed even if they manage to thaw out early. This particular mechanic synergizes well since the majority of his damage is dealt over time, thus extending the duration of the stun as long as possible. Heat Up meanwhile adds more damage to his fire spells as he uses them similar to 
Sticky Napalm, but targeted at his damage dealt instead of their damage taken. This makes him a force to be reckoned with as a fight goes on and turns his high Strength into an actual asset, surviving longer to stack up massive damage. Beyond this, these components also compliment each other. Freeze enemies with ice at the start of a fight as you wait for your fire to blaze up. Let your heated up spells lay waste to your foes while waiting for the stun to cool down.
Dual Breath has been split into Frost Breath and Flame Breath. The former still slows with a nice burst of speed while the latter still burns with a nice burst of area. Since he is slower in general now for the large dragon he is, gaining bonus movement every so often combined with the slowing frost can be devastating to deal with. Similarly, his spells are not as large as they used to as they are generally more spammable, so they can really only cover more ground if you release fire beforehand. This devastation also affects his already favored items like 
Shiva's Guard and 
Veil of Discord, but keep in mind that the radius extension only affects 1 spell at a time so choose wisely. These 2 spells can still be cast together to mimic the old ability, slowing targets to keep them in reach of the fire. Alternatively, he can now perform the combo in reverse to slow or even stun more or further away enemies.
Ice Path has been renamed to Solid Ice just for fun to better mirror the other spell in his arsenal. In its regular state, it controls a wider area more often but to a less potent degree since it is no longer a hard disable. Only when empowered by his Cool Down will it resemble its previous state, allowing much scarier zone control. Meanwhile, 
Liquid Fire has essentially been reworked into a smaller 
Macropyre. The array of disables he still has continues to allow him to keep enemies within range of the flames. Its low cooldown and higher range make this an excellent ability to stack up and benefit from Heat Up. In terms of it as a base spell, it is arguably weaker since its sieging potential is not as high from the missing attack slow and its damage on heroes is less reliable. All this on top of a new mana cost makes it not as incredibly powerful as it used to be since with his ultimate, this ability can deal massive damage to buildings but only after stacking up.
Jakiro are better split down the middle. Much likes his heads are now, the right offers more options and utility to support his team while the left lets him raze his opponents to the ground. At level 20, choose between regaining his ability to cripple the attack speed of towers and even stun them or just burn them and whoever tries to defend it better with the linger that resembles the recent buff his actual ultimate got. At level 25, the choice is to empower either the icy or fiery side of this proposed ultimate. Overall, this rework should hopefully make both aforementioned sides more distinct from each other and are unique in such a way that it truly provides the gameplay experience of wielding a badass dragon with twin heads, one for each element.DOTAFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level.
