Windranger deserve nerf?

Xyrus' face when he sees this thread

My oh my this thread has gotten off topic.

Is that cat pic from your stash of "pics that you find cute which is actually my way of calling pron" stash?

Guys this isn't a spam thread, so let's get back on topic and ***** about Windrunner some more.

I'll start, and I doubt I need to continue the se-

ffssssssssssss

At this stage I'm not even going to pretend I want balance. Sick of seeing this hero. She's been a blight on fun for the past 4 patches. Make her unplayable, an autolose pick to have a bit of variety in the world because this hero is a skidmark on the underwear of the dotaverse. Or do you only nerf Terrorblade into oblivion?

For once, we agree. i'm already sick of seeing those no skill Windrangers getting shackles because of the stupid leash range that can miraculously leash you onto a random unit seemingly out of range, and procede to kill you in 2 seconds flat with 2 items in her inventory. The nerfs so far aren't even that hard, purgable Focus Fire is significant, but you have to either buy the purge, or have a hero that can purge, and would make those heroes be a situational counter to wr. Making shackle disjointable is necessary, it is just too strong a skill right now, unless the latch range is nerfed instead, and even then i could make a point for making it disjointable

You guy compare Meat Hook and Sacred Arrow to shackle, but the skills are so different from each other. Shackle is so freaking easy to land, even complete noobs can land it. Meat Hook and Sacred Arrow on the other hand, can easily be dodged if you have vision of the hero. That skill is complete bs right now, i demandshackle to be nerfed

ps: sorry if i sound salty, i am really upset about the number of stupid shackle latches that look like they are nowhere near latch range. and to all those who say to go into "street view", tell me, who the f*** plays in that camera?

I think my forces have grown.

Man 2 threads offroaded. I think its time I go back into benign mode.

Please do, we need more healthy discussion, not more cats(can't say i hate them though).

After a month of playing with and against Wind, I think she's actually way outshined in brokenness by Shadow Fiend. Wind, though she's terrifying if she gains momentum, is actually quite weak playing from behind due to her less than stellar farm rate.

If she's 6.84 Bloodseeker, then SF is 6.84 Storm Spirit. One is much better than the other, but one pisses people off a lot more when it wins.

But yes, the hero is still a bit too powerful.

Finally on topic: http://www.dotabuff.com/blog/2015-11-30-does-windranger-deserve-a-nerf

That Xyrus'cat face deserves so much reps though.

Shadow Fiend is one of the most balanced heroes that are in meta right now, I don't know how you'd consider him 6.84 Storm, there's not even an OP item for him(6.84 Storm was also balanced, but Bloodstone was OP instead, well... not anymore). If you nerf cd/manacost of his QWE he'll be completely fine.

Wind, on contrary, is just a compendium of ******** mechanics and spell traits. And she doesn't even need to have great farm rate because she already can kill enemy carries that outfarm her by 4k networth with just Aghs and Mael.
