I think Earth Spirit after 6.80 is UP. He got nerfed to the ground, he didn't need that much nerf maybe not at all. He was not that hard to counter.

6.80
He didn't deserve this, his win rate fell from 52% to 40.24% and it's horrible. I see that the Boulder Smash and Geomagnetic Grip stun and silence were swapped, also the damage swapped between them. But thing that he didn't deserve the most it was the nerf to Stone Remnant from 25 to 35. I still find players on forums who say that Earth Spirit is still OP which I clearly disagree with this. I'm sure IceFrog will look in to this and some how rebalance his skills so the win rate may go up again.

In my opinion, he's fine as he is now: one reliable stun from a teammate (or skillshot if you're lucky) and you have a free and instant Flaming Lasso every 20-10 seconds. I think he's a really good support at the moment.

You just have to get Blink Dagger on him now to be effective, it's like Earthshaker.You blink in, Magnetize, proliferate with a remnant and then silence.

Still a great hero, just requires a pulse to play now
Step 1: Pick Bristleback
Step 2: type in all chat:"GL hf"
Step 3: solo offlane
Step 4: first blood triple kill solo vs trilane
Step 5: continue head butting keyboard
Step 6: don't care, Bristleback doesn't give a ****
Step 7: screenshot repeated: BB OP comments in all chat
Step 8: alternate games with Slark pick

Before he was autowin with just manaboots.

Now he needs a blink and a brain to do well. He's not underpowered, people are just overreacting like they always do with every semi-major rework.

He has basically just been changed so he actually requires skill to play
Do as I say, not what I do
