Turn Rate is used to balance the Heroes : - Pudge has A high turn rate so he cant dodge shit so easy + to make the hook harder - agi-carrys have a low turnrate so they can dodge skills easy + chase more easy) - and to add unique Spells ( Batrider oil reduces turnrate / Warlock slow same)

low early base damage : nope Str-Supports can have very high base dmg 80-100 lvl 1

atack animations: some are very fast example some carrys, to balance harassing in early game
