Just played as Ogre, and man can you manfight.

But more importantly, BLOODLUSTED TOWERS are SO FAST. AND SO BIG. I would be genuinely scared to push against it. Maybe Jakiro is meant as like a counter now so he can put it back to normal. WHat are your thoughts about Ogre's defensive applications now? Should we see some Ogre/Lich Super towers? (note to self, hero concept who's ultimate can drive a tower)

Other thoughts: I think this patch could be a really great balance, although the coming months may prove me wrong. I'm looking at Death Prophet to make a comeback, her lvl6 push is really great now.

I'll be writing a blog post once i get past all the "wow thats sooo coooolll" moments.
I got to Notable, Thanks!

Ogre makes towers stronger, lich makes towers tankier, and treeant makes any half hearted attempt to slowly thaw the tower's hp completely pointless. So enemies have to take down a full hp buffed tower down at one go.

Downside is you have to use 3 heroes to accomplish this, and your overall team comp might be weaker as a result.

Edit: i'm gonna spend some time trying to find the video where sunsfan said that

This Ogre Magi popularity has been a double edged sword in my case. I've had people in my pubs pick Ogre and start building stupid **** like battlefury into SnY..

The hero is awesome, but his strength is in being a great roaming support, and it backfires hard when people try playing him as a farming core..

He's half decent as a core mid with utility items. Dare I say you vould also farm stacks with Ignite? I could see it working. Sure Aghs sooner or later, but guardan greaves, force staff are all good on him and he would be a mid laner that gets both arcanes and mek.
