I was actually playing with friends. And yea, I did all that shit, and yea they had no complaints. But it was stressful and frustrating because (1) it meant relying on sometimes unreliable people to do everything (and sometimes failing), (2) it's extremely difficult to farm with her (worst animation/delay in the game?), and (3) she's a glass cannon...without the cannon.
I'm used to dying 3-5 times in a game, max, while laying wood and feeling the difference I'm making. CM is like...the polar opposite. 2/8/18 may be a winning stat line with CM, but it sure as shit isn't fun to me. It feels like I'm being carried (I am) and not carrying any weight. idk.
What would be the reason to pick her over Shadow Shaman? He has 2 effective disables, a great nuke that doesn't require you to be so close to the enemy, an infinitely better last-hit animation (and a nuke that's excellent for farming), good HP, and an ult that's fantastic. And he has much better HP and offensive capabilities. I recognize her stun has advantages because she can stun and run where Shaman can't, and her HP regen can be helpful early on...but shit.
