What I also find interesting is that he reverted/reworked changes such as Legion's so quickly. It was clear that endless duels weren't really useful (outside of endless Nightmare juggle scenarios to tie down the Legion forever), and rather than sticking with a pointless Aghs for ages (such as the old OD aghs which was mathematically worthless), this time around he's chosen to rework something quite quickly.

Aghs for Io that grants 40% of the target's max HP while tethered
Aghs for Sniper that gives assassinate bonus damage based on distance traveled
Aghs for TA that makes it so traps give you 2 refractions charges when you walk over them
Aghs for CK that turns all the illusions the ability to use reality rift
Aghs for Spectre that refreshes the duration of the illusions when you bounce to another, maximum five
Aghs for PA that turns crit into a orb with 6 sec cd
Aghs for AM that doubles mana burn values and turns spell shield into a usable skill that grants magic immunity for 7 seconds
aghs for DP that spawns ghosts around enemies you're siphoning

Rubick deserves this
in the case of someone not reading ft's lunch this week, jeremy clarkson probably said the most beautiful words ever uttered:
“Amazon’s on the internet, and people fuck horses on the internet, so anything less than that is bound to be all right.”
think of that next time there's a dota patch

Not gonna lie. Arc Warden's dupliate getting permanent 10 second bkb charges is pretty ridiculous.

As long as bugs get fixed and they're not taking balance advice from them(or us for that matter) it's fine.

Hey guys! What's the correct strategy to use with a lineup of Wraith King, Arc Warden, Dragon Knight, Crystal Maiden and Axe, with a combined three stuns, two slows, and no mana issues between them? Did you pick "sit around in the jungle for twenty minutes rather than capitalize on the early aggression this specific lineup is basically only good at?"
Congratulations, you're my most recent team!

I can see this being a great option as long as you're not 1 position CK, his Q and W are already pretty long range so it'd just turn him into a great catch hero, especially if you have blink/force on top.

I am thinking Doom works best with either Radiance + tanky items where he just runs around being a tanky prick and puts a lot of DoT onto people or a zoom zoom build.
Attack speed is not working out.

Wvyern is still a good hero. People just over reacted to the nerfs to her broken ult
It does?! The fuck?! I thought it copied the real one's charges. Hopefully that gets changed in the b patch. That's ridiculous.
Obviously this won't happen in a competitive game since he's not in CM, but if NP Aghs ult kills the Arc Warden double, do you get one of the super treants?
Very frustrating game to lose
First 10mins or so is some of my best laning as techies yet, but yeah alch beat pudge mid and rolled us. Didn't help Morph wanted to test out Aether Lens.

Has anyone run into a decent Arc Warden in pub matches yet? Just about every game I've gotten into, whichever side picks him is doomed to lose.

Eagerly waiting for Force Staff Void.
I am also waiting for an Aghanim for Riki which would make his ult global.
First game I played him in, I won and wrecked. Made some dumb mistakes still, but did well for the most part. I was stacked with some friends and they said I'm the best Arc Warden they have seen so far, and I only thought I was decent at it.

I played a game as Drow the other day against an Arc Warden that went Necros. I went Aghs and was like "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you"

Not an illusionsent))
I assume no because it shouldn't work on illusions
Same rules apply though. It doesn't drop rapier or gem if it dies so I'm assuming it shouldn't make a greater treant either.

it has some exceptions but it's definitely not an illusion, don't think it does a greater treant anyway
