Leastmaster is gross if you use the boar, it does so much work for basically no cost
you can sit in lane and harass and get exp while you stack camps with boar, then just axe a few camps at once and boom, you have blink or aghs or necrobook or however you want to build him
plus, 40% ms / 40 attack speed slow that goes through immunity for 15 mana is nutso
....he'll get a slight buff and suddenly be everywhere in pro games, perch

Beastmaster is not gonna get buffed in 6.84.
I think that's kind of the definition of a pubstomp.
Diddhe (see what I did there?) get nerfed? I haven't played yet since the patch. Downloading Mewtwo when I get home.

yeah, I think he's in a good spot. I doubt he gets changed.

He's not underpowered at all. Just unpopular in pubs but some heroes just are like that.

not sure why he's unpopular in pubs, tbh. The hero's not crazy fun but he's pretty cool and I would expect him to be really fearsome especially at lower MMRs.
Most right clicker carries are gonna have a bkb at some point so thats moot. Theres a plethora of items to avoid getting in a perma bash from troll, he also has no escape and has avg hp.

Because micro is too hard 
How many BM do I see maxing aura and axes with 0 point in beasts, infuriating. Who needs free wards right !
To me a pubstomper is a hero with a much higher winrate in pubs (see dotabuff) compared to the pro scene. Ursa is at 51% man, that's not pubstomp territory. Omni, abaddon and necro on the other hand...

Yessss my waifu needs buffed.
He has plenty of EHP though. His armor is decent, nothing to write home about, but decent, however melee Whirling Axes makes him a pain in the ass to gank. Honestly I think the AoE needs to be shrunk on it, because 99% of the time what happens is you nuke him down to little health, try to right click to finish him off, and then he just dodges it all and gets away.
On top of that though, this hero does just about everything a carry can better than other carries. I went through this list yesterday:
Flying vision (two forms) - check
Bash - check
Melee - check
ranged - check
attack speed - check
global attack speed boosting ultimate - check
ability to solo rosh - check
damage - check
flash farm - get lifesteal and you're good, check
There's even more I didn't name. Sure, he can be managed but he is a lot harder to manage than any other carry in the game right now, including Sniper. I don't see how you don't think this hero is broken.

3 thing I want in this game.
Burrowstrike range is the same at all levels.
CM movement speed buff. (NEVER EVER), but she's a pretty good hero so it might be too much.
Caustic Finale reworked (No UAM, wtf is this shit seriously)

Make Burrow strike apply caustic finale.

Make Sand storm apply caustic finale.
No thank you!
She needs power to match her beauty.
Does that mean I can shackleshot two trees together?
I don't expect anyone to know this but will ask anyways. Is TC on Root gaming now with Fluff or is TC just a standin?
No, I was thinking it could only latch to units.
You mean nerfing her? I doubt they give her any kind of a buff.

Starting to get better. I'm liking the melee support disabler type. I am enjoying Earthshaker, Tiny, Centaur Warrunner and Tusk. Any other heroes like these?
Ogre Magi. With his Aghs upgrade, he will stun for days.

There are a bunch of melee heroes that have hard (or hard-ish) disables; some are almost always played as supports like Sand King/Ogre Magi/Elder Titan.
If you want heroes that play more like Tiny/Centaur/Tusk that require at least some farm to be effective, you might enjoy Axe, Slardar, Magnus, Wraith King (sometimes played as a support), Tidehunter, or Clockwerk.
All are somewhat tanky Strength heroes (with the exception of Ogre Magi, who is Intelligence-based) with disables that can be used at close range.
Also see: initiating.
Thank god, I still won't be scrimming certain teams though.
like who?
I think you know.

You should try Abaddon, he is really great at controlling teamfights, aphotic shield is one of the best tools at saving yourself or teammates at the blink of death, great at diving too when needed to secure a kill, the best part is that he doesn't rely on any specific item (unlike the ones you mentioned) so you have a bit more room to experiment with his item build..

My paladin-murlock deck is shit. God fuck this pay2win bullshit, it's not even pay2win, it's grind2pay.
my guess for 6.84
- late next week test
- pushed through after test client
- Source 2 late or not in time for TI5 announcement
- some kind of Gold theme with Furion and Alchemist buff/arcanas that contribute to the TI5 prize pool
- LC and TB $20 arcana sale to fuck with betters
- last chance reminder for keys expiring promotion
- some kind of item composting
- ES, Oracle trial basis CM

Hearth stone is free2try, unless you dedicate your life to it (and if you are, stop being cheap and just lay down some cash)
Paladin murlock is pretty good, but you need both Avenge and all the Murlocks for it to work. Do you got those Shira?

Day 2 so fuck no, you unlock murlocks by getting all the murlocks. Fuck that.

You can't even buy those cards, you just have to concede for like 20 hours to get enough dust
