I have mixed feeling about this rework. The passive is interesting, but her ult is already very strong as it is, and this change would allow a lvl 6 dark seer + cm with glimmer to wipe your entire team. (given correct circumstances)

MMan replied 2 years ago

Well thats why her ult is nerfed on this version. Also, the area can be moved not the caster (unless you get aghs)
