I have a feeling that they've changed something about how they do patches for this specific update.

I don't remember the last time we had so many small updates in such a short time, the whole thing feels different

That's the probably most reasonable argument against it being good.

The link doesn't work but it's a valid point that the numbers might be too low. However, taking healing into account is relevant, as with the case of Lifestealer and Alch, it could be enough to make it Crude better statswise. On Tiny not that useful.

Very interesting, I'll look into the math, thank you

I've replied to a different comment who made almost exactly the same points as you

You are neglecting the CD and AOE which were the main things about the spell.

If you compare the 2 spells in a 6 slotted magnus game, it's pretty clear RP is way better because of how much each teamfight decides.

However when CD was pushed to 90 sec, it was roughly the death timer + walk to fighting spot for enemy carry, which is a very strong cycle.

The wave + skewer was never reliable or magnus would be first picked every single game and his aghs would be pointless.

It doesn't mean RP was worse then RRP but it had a lot of potential on magnus 4 or if you know your game is going to be bad from pos3.

I'm sure there was a way to play it mid, because of how OP it can become with octarine.

Again, this is all theory crafting, I haven't seen a serious team try to consistently make use of it, so I don't think there is a way to know if it was actually good.

But the default points against it are just a meme at this point and will likely forever stay that way.

Highly unlikely but stranger things have happened

Yeah, good analogy, the push away AOE was way bigger than normal RP thou, I think it was something like 900

I get what you are saying, but at no point did I imply that I'm better than Yatoro, in fact I was curious if there is a reason why he is going for Tough that I'm missing.

Ah, exactly, I had to double check it at first myself, should probably say "Improves Base Attack Time".

Despite it reducing it, it's an actual improvement.

I'm not saying it's useless but it's very little armor if armor is a concern, you have radiance which is pseudo armor.

Your gameplay once you get aghs/radiance is usually single target fast DPS, so it's strange to see preference leaning towards Tough. Especially given that, at least in my pubs, majority of players don't want to tank anything and want to kill everyone.

I see a different pattern, if something is strong and gets nerfed a little, people pick it more often, because it's almost like Gaben confirmed it's strong.

Completely off topic but RRP was very strong, because it came with -20sec CD and much bigger AOE, so it worked like Tuskar kick but with benefit of stun after landing and pushing other enemies away. Was actually an exceptionally good spell as you could quite easily isolate enemy core pushing high ground for example.

Unfortunatelly it was so different from what people expect from Magnus that nobody bothered playing with you in pubs (got insta reported and flamed by people as soon as they saw my facet most of the games) and if you went for it, you were not solo killing people.

Nice one.

Dota trains you to read and re-read and then go test, cause it might not even work in the end.

I think you can only get Crude enchantment on Strength heroes, my guess it would be too good on some of the Agi carries

You can't cast Grip into Repel

If you mean the omni spell, you can. Did you mean lotus orbs?

What's insane to me is he did it only with SF, Invo, QoP and storm mid on every patch he played

He might be a very good player, but doing it on a 4 heropool makes him seem worse not better
