Considering there isn't really a good reason to buy Aghanim's Scepter on Luna IMHO, and since I really like Luna, I thought it would be fun to try and come up with ideas that could make it a viable item on her in an average game. As of now, it only gives +1/2/3 beams (and the corresponding extra duration), as well as increasing the max beams on a single target.
Possibilities (Mix and match from the following):
-Makes it so that her ult continues even if she dies during the duration.
-In addition, if she dies during the duration, Selemene is angered and adds more beams and more duration to the ult.
-Gives the beams a targeting priority so that it hits any enemy heroes before it will hit creeps.
-Adds more beams/duration (+3-5 maybe, instead of +1-3).
-Gives each beam the mini-stun from Lucent Beam. (potentially very OP)
-Reduce cooldown by 10-20 seconds at each level.
-Give Luna unobstructed vision during the ult.
The continuation of the ult when she dies, is not something I would want to spend 4200 gold on, considering you don't really want to die in fights anyway, although you could get some "from the grave" revenge.
I would pay for the hero targeting priority for sure.
More beams is good.
The ministun would definitely be worthy of an aghs, but maybe reduce the stun duration or something? idk, seems good though.
Unobstructed vision is kinda good and meh at the same time.
She definitely needs some sort of ult buff to aghs, because currently I would 100% never buy it.
TheSofa:
I am not sure where it says her ult instantly destroys illusions, and I was not aware that it did. If so, then it's quite a bit stronger situationally than I had thought, but that still doesn't make the Aghs worth buying on her in the average game. And yes, it does change day to night, which the base ultimate also does without Aghs. The only bonuses from her passive that applies at night specifically is the bonus night vision; the damage is there all the time.
Bunkan:
Yeah, usually you don't want to die when you use the ult, but I figured it'd be a nice side bonus for buying a 4200 gold item. I really like the revenge idea, but I'm not sure how it would be balanced, since you don't want to die (as we've established).
The unobstructed vision was mainly to get around the fact that the beams only hit enemies she can see; invisibility still saves you, but now fog wouldn't. :/ It's not great, but it's something.
Unscathed:
I agree, the ministun part is almost certainly too good, but it just seems like such a good aghs upgrade... :/
Make each beam an AoE nuke, like 100~200 radius, or give her unobstructed vision and unlimited numbers of beam as long as she didn't missed any beams, as well as increases its hit range, but 13th+ beams will deal reduced damage.
