Buriza/ Daedulus 2.7 -> 2.4 multiplier.
Crystalis 35 -> 30 Dmg.

Oh boy Sven, you really screwed over Kunkka now. As if Kunkka wasn't underplayed, now he has a big issue with being a useful teamfighter.

Thoughts/concerns?

Kunkka is an useful team fighter, even if he doesn't critical hit the Tidebringer, he can still use Torrent and Ghost Ship.

I think this 'nerf' is good though, more balanced. Also the recipe is 200 gold cheaper.

I see what you did there, but you forgot that any other hard carry is laughing at SK. Touche?

Let's face it,0.3 crit won't do the difference.

30% on a 1k damage swing, do the math. This means that MKB now may be the dominant pick.

MKB was always good,people just didn't realise it.Only buy it against an enemy with dodge they said...
Its effectively doing +100 damage per hit and reseting the enemies attack timer every time the ministun procs.

Also if you think that Skeleton king will gain some apreciation,I present you the 2 better alternatives: Chaos Knight and Phantom Assassin.Both with a better crit.

Agreed, but it was a hidden gem. For awhile it was used dominantly, but the crit is more appealing to most.

The average damage increase is a huge difference now.
Old Deadalus gave a 42.5% DPS increase, while the new one gives 35%.

Also I was getting used to Shadow Blade bonus damage got multiplied by crit effects, I think I will try to find an alternate build for Kunkka, since I do not view Shadow Blade as a core on him anymore.
