Blizzy, Zayac and SoNNeikO - about the new Aghanim's Scepter upgrades

Evgenii "Blizzy" Ri

Slardar (Slithereen Crush creates a pool of water that gives bonuses to the hero):

— Slardar is cool, but not sure yet on which slot to buy the Aghanim's Scepter. It needs to be tested.

Tiny (new ability Tree Volley, which allows you to throw trees around a hero every 0.4 seconds):

— It looks strong on Tiny if the fight is somewhere in the woods. It is also necessary to see how it actually works, buy it, perhaps, in a 3rd-4th-5th slot.

Mars (cooldown of God's Rebuke is 1.4 seconds during the Arena of Blood):

— Scepter on Mars looks imbalanced if it works during BKB. A lot of damage: you can build it as the 3rd-4th item.

Beastmaster (Wild Axes has no cooldown):

— It looks strong on him, but not sure if he actually needs it.

Pangolier (Shield Crash activates two Swashbuckle attacks on four sides of the hero):

— I didn ’t see how Pangolier works, but it’s some kind of horror description (laughs). Buy as the 7th slot.

Bakyt "Zayac" Emilzhanov

Io (Spirits passively appear every 5 seconds):

— Io has some strange Aghanim, I do not see the point in it. Oftentimes you need survival and regeneration — 1 out of 10.

Grimstroke (new ability: Dark Portrait, which creates the illusion of an enemy hero):

— As Grimstroke you can pick up Aghanim's scepter as a 2nd or 3rd item after Aether Lense, but only against certain carries. 7 of 10

Dark Willow (the attack no longer puts you out of the Shadow Realm):

— Dark Willow's Aghanim's Scepter is good if you build it very quickly, but it has already been fixed, So 5/10.

Elder Titan (Echo Stomp gives magic immunity for casting time and every 2 seconds for each character hit by the ability):

— If you have a lot of farm, then you can afford Aghanim on Elder Titan, and in other cases there will be more useful items — 4/10.

Abaddon (While Borrowed Time is active, anytime an ally takes more than 525 damage, an individual Mist Coil will automatically fire towards that ally.):

— Abadon has very cool Aghanim upgrade. Also with a talent for Mist Coil. The only question is how to collect it, since it is the position 5 hero and he does not have any spells to farm with him in any way. 8/10

Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev

Io (Spirits passively appear every 5 seconds):

— As on a support role it's a 3, but on the Mid lane i would give that 10 out of 10. If you buy it quickly, then by level 15 with a talent you can kill everyone on the map. It's worth buying on second or third slot as a core, however on supporting position — never.

Grimstroke (new ability: Dark Portrait, which creates the illusion of an enemy hero):

— 10/10. Depends on the enemy heroes and their farm. If there is an agile hero and he has a good game, then I would try to buy it as the 2nd slot, other than that, it will most likely be good as the 3rd slot.

Dark Willow (the attack no longer puts you out of the Shadow Realm):

8/10 After the nerf, build it as a 2nd-3rd item on the position 4; if playing core, then build it as the 2nd slot.

Elder Titan (Echo Stomp gives magic immunity for casting time and every 2 seconds for each character hit by the ability):

10/10 Can go as 3rd-4th slot — depending on what kind of heroes the enemy has. If there are already BKB's or instant stuns, then it's better to skip it.

Abaddon (While Borrowed Time is active, anytime an ally takes more than 525 damage, an individual Mist Coil will automatically fire towards that ally.):

7 / 10 Can be bought as the third slot after the auxiliary item like Drum of Endurance. If it gave the shield when activated or when taken damage on allied heroes, then it would be 10/10.
