  1. smurf68 Dawnbreaker in 7.41f: What’s Left of the Old Buffs and Nerfs

    Maybe, but in pubs the start matters more than the lane label

  2. smurf68 Primal Beast in 7.41f: how the hero is holding up after the tweaks

    Honestly I like BKB more when the game is messy. Blink is great for starting, but if you jump and just get chain-stopped, the whole hero looks sad. In pro games it feels like they buy both pretty fast anyway, so maybe the real answer is just survive the first hit 🙂

  3. smurf68 Outworld Destroyer in 7.41f: what changed and what the stats show

    I get that, but I have seen plenty of pro drafts where OD looked fine early and then got shoved around once the map opened up. If the hero needs space to keep playing his game, cleaner casting only helps so much.

  4. smurf68 Outworld Destroyer in 7.41f: what changed and what the stats show

    Tempo does not fix bad lanes though

  5. smurf68 Windranger in 7.41f: what changed after the hero rework

    Yeah, and the lower base ms makes that hurt even more. Feels like you need better pathing now or you just get run down after one bad shuffle.

  6. smurf68 Jakiro in 7.41f: More Intelligence, Cheaper Macropyre, Old Questions

    Had a game where one Jakiro just parked mid and every wave became a small war. Felt like playing against a fridge with legs.

  7. smurf68 Underlord in 7.41f: Fiend’s Gate Got a Bit Better, Pit of Malice Lost Scepter

    shiva for me

  8. smurf68 Shadow Fiend in 7.41f: souls and Shadowraze tweaked again

    Low ranks forgive greed more.

  9. smurf68 Broodmother in 7.41f: less mana, more comfort for spider play

    Sure, that part matters too, just not as much as people think

  10. smurf68 Broodmother in 7.41f: less mana, more comfort for spider play

    Pubs already spam her when the build feels comfortable, so this kind of tuning can matter a lot. The point is not to make her fair in some abstract way, it is to keep the hero playable without making every cast feel awkward. Small buffs to flow often show up more than raw damage changes.

  11. smurf68 Broodmother in 7.41f: less mana, more comfort for spider play

    The part I like is the tiny stack of buffs instead of some giant rework. Brood stays Brood, just a bit smoother on tempo, and that usually matters more in actual drafts than people admit. If the spider game gets easier without turning her into a stat brick, that feels pretty healthy to me.

  12. smurf68 Treant Protector in 7.41f: less Intelligence, pricier Leech Seed, weaker Living Armor

    Honestly I think this hero lives or dies by the first ten minutes now. If he gets pressured off lane once, the whole kit starts looking way more average. In coordinated games he still has a place, but in random pubs the nerfs stack up fast.

  13. smurf68 Batrider in 7.41f: even more Intelligence and damage

    The item list says everything. Blink, BKB, Aghs, Force, Shiva, that’s not a hero trying to duel, that’s a hero trying to force one exact target into a bad place and make the whole team pay for it. When Bat is ahead and the supports can’t break formation, it feels disgusting to play against. When he’s behind, though, he looks like a guy with two spells and a sad horse.
