When will AM be balanced? in General Discussion

    5 second cooldown, no way to interrupt, no way to stop it from cooling down. Blink dagger is balanced, it has a medium cooldown, if you get hit, it goes on cooldown again, this is called balance, this stops an item from being overpowered. Anti Mage's blink is basically blink dagger, except its got 50% less cooldown, and can't be interrupted, this is called "overpowered" and "unbalanced".You got to fight Anti Mage, 5 people, you stun him, wail on him, stun off cooldown, he blinks away, you blink towards him, he blinks away again as its already off cooldown, this is called "poor gameplay mechanics". When will this ability be balanced? Who knows, valve hates balance. You could ask, "how would you balance it?" Easy, give it a longer cooldown, 30 seconds, OR, make it so that hitting him puts it on cooldown for 3 seconds, like blink dagger. Simple.

        are u serious just pick blood, lc, or ns against that hero and he does nothing. Long stuns are an option too. like faceless void

              early diffusal on any carry just makes him absolute trash because of his mana pool

                i wouldnt mind the nerf on this hero tbh even though hes one of the more balanced heroes atm

                  Nerf to his blink only if qop gets treated the same way. But seriously why do you think magina's op? Before he has his bf/vlad/manta he doesn't anything and you need to babysit his lane or any pressure ruins his early game easily. Honestly he's so much worse than a lot of other carries in the game...

                    There is so many ways to put down Anti Mage's farm LOL

                    Seoulmate

                      and as soon as all those run out, he instantly blinks away, nice balance.
                      So I win the argument, it's an unbalanced ability and no one has any arguments for how it is balanced, glad to know I win.

                        what about queen of pain blink? is that balanced?

                        Friendly player

                          I don't understand why ur so butthurt about am's blink? In my opinion its fairly good and doesn't need an balance. It has a delay before blinking btw. Spirit breaker makes life of am a nightmare. Pretty much anything that has long lockdown makes am's life a hell (axe, legion, sb, sometimes even skywrath)

                              I have played antimage, it's ludicrously unbalanced, as I said, but hey, I've already won, so I don't need to say anything to you anymore.

                                      The hero is balanced, most heroes are balanced, its specific abilities that are not balanced, pa's dagger, bristles quills, antimages blink, etc.

                                          I just wanted to try and see if people actually took this seriously. Turns out dotabuffers are even more gullible than I originally thought.

                                                    Can't believe none said that this is a troll.

                                                      Damn, I just realized almost everyone in this thread is too new to know about Salza.

                                                      Ez jebait?

                                                        Jokes aside, you counter AM by killing him, the hero's paper.

                                                        Lokieleven

                                                          I remember awhile ago I said am needed a buff and every person on this site said "are you joking? Am is op. Am is fine."
                                                          Now you say he needs a nerf
                                                          "Are you joking? Am is so shit, ez counter"

                                                          Gazz   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                                            The only nerf I want for AM is to remove his Mana Break working on his illusion, just like when valve remove the Greevil Greeds on Alchemists illusion.

                                                            The Manta + Abbysal Blade combo is insane. And maybe we'll a see a different approach for AM player when that happens.

                                                            Shou

                                                              i mean a lot of abilities r broken individually or in combination with other abilities, like fiery soul, or aftershock, or dagger, or overpower
                                                              its not really relevant if its not a balanced ability in and of itself, it matters how the hero functions as a whole with that ability that may be broken and his other 3 abilities.
                                                              am is paper enough to die in the duration of a stun or 2, at least early game, and some heroes can actually chase a hero with a 5 second cd blink, at least long enough to kill them, like lycan, or puck, or bs

                                                              Fee Too Pee

                                                                Remove mana burn on illusions is like deleting the hero entirely.

                                                                And so many people took that "i already win" argument seriously what?

                                                                Seoulmate

                                                                  Sand1

                                                                    ONLY STRONG WILL SURVIVE!

                                                                      i dont think its not balanced, there's many heroes that can counter AM, if AM's early game is disturbed then you can win and outplayed AM, this hero just need space to farm then that's when he can carry his team.

                                                                      Riguma Borusu

Its hard to lockdown unless you go for some real hard disables. I personally think they should just probably just mess with his lane as much as u can and ignore him and try to end the game or atleast try to get most of the map control by 20 to 25 mins. He is a weak fighter until then its basically 4v5 just kinda exploit that. His mana break on illus should be reduced its too much sometimes :D
