There are more heroes who can kite him tho...but as a Sven spammer and then this...FeelsRogueMan
sven + io with tethered scepter and tethered attack talents should be insane if it works the way I think it does
io can get to lvl 20 with sven in a game if he is closely tied to him and shares a lot of exp
Deals more and more damage than before, can take a lot more damage from carries or supports either magical or physical, and that 76 str bonus is a real deal and a no joke talent,it's like 2 tarrasque is on your hands for free,literally free
Its also slightly harder to kite sven now when he doesn't have bkb because of the new strength attribute resistance mechanic :D
sven is the best hero rn.
pms removed, making him one better choice since he doesnt go for it
status resistance from str, taking lvl 25 talent sven has close to 25% (with some items) resistance
denies being so fucking important and sven has a high base dmg to deny
bounty runes close to hard camp (yea every other carry benefits from this but sven especially likes to stack and shit so he picks it up almost always)
storm hammer dispells, say goodbye to most kiting mechanics (ghost, haste and shit)
so
from reading the title
and the patch notes
you're saying that sven was not balanced before this
and since it added strength, you're saying that he was underpowered
did i read that wrong, or are you insane?
So sven was finally nerfed down from being cancerous strong to just being a strong solid hero then I’ve frog said f that and made him cancerous again ?

not quite
he just deals even more unholy amounts of damage now and is even tankier
this hero needed a nerf, not a buff.
I always found his +65 dmg talent to be weird (but it mainly compensated for his lvl 3 ult that gave 160% instead of 200% str damage) but this new talent is very fitting and looks very... eh.. sven like.
You know what would make this hero OP? An anti kiting mechanism. More strength doesn't, at least I don't think it does.
The new Nullifier just kills Sven. I'm sure high level pubs will just buy that item to counter sven every game.

+40 STR bonus on lvl25 which means 52/64/76 no change in GS bonus damage still 80%/120%/160% then what is his current maximum damage or his max potential?
