The miss chance is why you can now get Radiance at any point in the game and make it work(assuming nobody got MKB), but yeah Butterfly is probably better on him.

17% is just not good enough. Weaver needs as much defensive capability as he can get and 50dps/hero + 17% blind just isn't worth the relic it's built upon. By the time you can buy a relic you're better off buying a reaver or eaglesong and building towards heart or butterfly since they're just that much more useful. Especially given that long term disable is what crushes weaver, reducing in coming right click damage by 17% (in theory) is just not slot efficient.

I dunno, I think he just needs to be noticed again, but maybe you're right. I still like him and will use him though.

What happened to weaver? No nerfs of any significance in the last 2 years but he's completely fallen out of the pro game.

In a meta with Lion and Axe everywhere he was never viable in pro games, which sucked.

Good vs. Sniper and a bunch of the popular supports (VS, Dazzle, Witch Doctor, etc.) so he was fun in pubs.

Like I said before, any game where the enemy team has strong long duration disable (lion hex, void chrono, mag RP, etc.) weaver is unpickable. He's way too hard countered by this. Even with his new aghs upgrade these spells destroy him so effectively that he's left as a fringe pick. That isn't to say he's weak at what he does -- if you let weaver run around unattended to he's obscenely high DPS with only a couple damage items -- but in a meta where the aforementioned heroes are popular, weaver's a last pick at best.

i like how blitz starts explaining something then addresses tobi directly mid sentence, like he wants to add 'you dumb piece of shit' after every time he says 'you see tobi'

I already said you were right leave me alone :p

That said though, I think Radiance is a better team item to get than BFly, it gives a miss chance to everyone, not just the ones attacking Weaver. Weaver's just maybe not the hero to get it on.

I think it's a viable option on heroes that can survive a fight for very long though as a 4th or 5th item.

I think he'll come back, he's just too much of a pain in the ass to not be useful.

the bigger changes to the map that allowed easier offlanes for greedier picks

same with bounty

there is a reason its been a while, its not necessarily to do with any specific meta or patch, its the overall change to laning

as far as I'm concerned mango is now a core item on every hero.


Is it pretty safe to assume that there won't be a new hero with this patch? Each other time they usually announce it with the notes themselves.
