"Hide Unstable Concoction timer" Talent for Alch? in General Discussion
Dog

    Judging bybthe series of "buffs" icefrog is giving alch the past few patches, he seems very determined to push people into a playstyle that revolves around his W. I think if he really wants to make this viable, he should at least include a timer hiding talent for his lvl 10, or better yet just revert all the damage buffs this skill has been getting + further decreasing his nuke damage in place of a hidden timer. He's already super dogshit rn since the timer has been revealed years ago and I think this is the only way for icefrog to reincarnate alch as a fighting/ganking hero

      well, the visuals and the audio is enough to understand anyway.

        It would actually be hilarious if they added a talent to remove an ability indicator in attempt to buff a hero.

          ^so is having old scrapped abilities getting reimplemented as a talent option (backtrack talent on void)

            well, the visuals and the audio is enough to understand anyway.

            I thought so too. Even back then when the timer was hidden, alch was like sub-40% winrate across all brackets. I didn't understand why he needed to get further nerfed with the timer reveal back then

              The whole fucking point is going blink so no one can react to the timer

              Imo it's already worth it to take early levels in concoction, and support alch is definitely situationally viable. Its already strong, I only think that a buff to acid spray making it a good value point would make maxing concoction better.

                Except going blink on alch is even so only situationally viable.

                You can't just start channelling stun without being absolutely sure that your target is in the exact spot you are blinking into for the next 4ish seconds, much moreso if you're blinking into fog.

                And as for a roaming build, you ABSOLUTELY max acid first since you need that -armor to amplify impact damage on your nuke, casual medallion works too

                    or maybe add talent like tiny toss to throw w without any specific target so u dont get stunner like dumb while chasing target in fow xD

                      useless talent to be honest, why would u want to hide it. And why would people always want to charge it to last second.

                      We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
