As the title says. The hero went from being a beast at TI10, To mediocre at TI11, to having his remnants given 200ping (0.2s cast) & nerfed into oblivion.

There’s other hero examples, but you’ve gotta say having ember be in an unplayable state is kinda bad for the game.

I remembering during covid when ember could be played against just about anything & build just about any item

    As a support player: absolutely fucking not

    Hero was meta for like 7 fucking years

    Battefury/Daedalus/Rapier build

    Then the

    Veil/maelstrom/shivas magic SMG build.

    Then the

    Aghs build

    Then the

    “Idk build maelstrom bkb and see what happens build”

    Hero can stay dead for a little bit for god’s sake.

      I’m sure you’d still take an ember meta over the PA meta we had recently, and the current first pick spectre + spirit breaker meta, no?

      I hear you. Bear in mind when the first 2 of those builds were the meta, a “good support game” was a game where you had boots and a force staff.

      When the “maelstrom bkb and see what happens” was the build supports would always have defensive items and he was far from broken, just playable
