I played him core for the first time after 7.06,imo he is no longer what he used to be.
Well usually that what happens when you become a first pick material in comp while you are also the main terror in 5k< games
When i pick necro, everyone will trying si hard to counter me.
On the other case, my teammate picking whatever they want. Picking retard carry like am or luna, or picking offlane rubick or gyro
Look my latest match

This fckin luna doesnt even take a fckin single point of 1st skill. And the more retarded, he pick ulti at lvl 6
Sea cancer
Yeah, Icefrog nerfed him hard. But it was needed, though. Necron solo offlane and mid was too cancerous, so now he's much easier to bring down.
To quote cookie from an old thread
You could put him on a cliff and he'd still win you the game
He had to be nerfed. And judging by his current winrate, they did a good job of it.
Apparently there is a big difference between 7 mana per stack of pulse to 2.75
Who knew
The nerf was really hard, but mostly deserved. I now lost almost all the free mmr I got with him. He is still pretty strong, just in a more utility role. If before he was an unkillable frontliner who dominated any lane, now itโs more about his ult setup. Scepter is a must have now as well as other team utility items instead of radiance/dagon insanity last patch
The change from 7 to 2.75 wasn't that huge because its fairly close to the old value in the end thanks to the rework to the mana regen formula (where int multiplies your regen)
What killed him was stacks per hero kill from 10 to 6 and stack duration from 7s to 6s. Before if you killed an enemy hero you were almost guaranteed to survive the fight. Now you actually die.
Also they increased the mana cost of reapers at earlier levels which is why you feel like you run out of mana more.
Necro is absolute dogshit since the nerfs, completely unviable in all situations.
Well...atleast ghostshroud counts for something now. Before, the diffusal blade just purged it.
Not ye can't unless with a nullifier
Also the fact that bristle is currently at the same level of visibility as necro
Necro is ok now, would not call the hero shit, but he is definitely a more situational hero compared to what he was before

Is it me or that necro's regen is so underwhelming now? He always runs out of mana and getting a scepter seems not reasonable anymore! Feelsbadman
