Kuol, Mind Flayer (Updated to Universal)

This hero may be played as either a hard carry who looks to gain stats from last hitting and become a right clicking core who can scale infinitely, and whose scaling is increased as the game moves along, or you may play this hero as a support who can disable and turn an enemy hero as well as provide a save for one of your heroes, however as a support it becomes more difficult to gain attributes.
