Riki withouth that regen is just a dead hero. His laning stage is crap, revorked blink is pretty useless and because of no more regen when invis he cant even roam anymore. They should leave him half regen at least to be usefull. Same goes for Void. i mean what the fuck is that ability timer stop, its fuckin useless. He cant initiate anymore withouth his old Q so you need blink and if to actually take advantage of your Q you have to be really tanky so they dont blow you up.
DP is useless too, Doom is pretty weak now, SF cant farm as efficiently as he did before. And i dont really care about WW, annoying hero, he deserved a nerf :)
From the trend page huskar actually hasn't lost much winrate, I wonder why. His nerf looked equal to removing the hero from the game, but apparently he wasn't hit that hard in pubs?
dp didn't get nerfed in any way shape or form though, everything witchcraft gave her became passive. majority of this is people adjusting play styles although I agree riki was heavily nerfed
Riki is op late game when he has items and you instantly die from his ult. once his ult is gone he has nothing against arc warden
i don't think there's any point in analysing winrates few days after patch
people are trying to think of how to play the heroes and there's a lot of normal skill people just trying those heroes out so the winrates are nearly meaningless
"dp didn't get nerfed in any way shape or form though, everything witchcraft gave her became passive. majority of this is people adjusting play styles although I agree riki was heavily nerfed"
The manacosts stayed the same as without witchcraft, bottle gives less mana and her spirits are not free mana either. She also used to be 20ms faster without boots (with maxed witchcraft) and 35 more than now with the 45ms boots of speed. Her spirits also take 3 times faster to come out. The cooldowns are only 1 second longer than with witchcraft and she lost 1 spirit, which aren't very major nerfs, but the mana, movement speed and spirit spawn speed matters a lot. She especially need that extra movement speed when she has a 4s tether ability.
Riki got nerf a lot. No HP regen is like a cripple hero trying to survive in lane phase
