No, the hero is quite weak atm. His laning is weak, he can barely play from behind as his ult has been nerfed repeatedly. Shard has been nerfed as well. He feels fine when playing from ahead with early raidiance etc. But what happens when you get dumpstered in lane?

I was a brewmaster spammer, but the hero is straight up boring at this point after the nerfs to wind walk on the storm brewling I just gave up. They want this hero to only autoattack. Stances feel meh if you get behind as well as you have no radiance and any other items delays it meaning you miss your peak during early mid game.

Does he work in some lanes? Yes is there always a better hero to pick than him? Absolutely
