          Since broods changes her winrate tanked, but if your paying attention to winrates in each bracket you will notice its gone up alot. Herald/guardian winrates are like 39%-42% which tanks the stats, but archon and up the winrate is well over 50%. I think people are figuring out she is a strong hero in a sidelane and more importantly the offlane in the right game. Maybe I just watch too much monkeys forever though lol.

            Lycan is a 3 legged dog rn, def going to need some major changes to either make helm of the dom appealing or rework.

            Hoodwink was overnerfed but the recent buffs helped her raise to respectable numbers, still on the weaker end though as her playrate slowly drops. Needs that ulti vision revert, main issue with her right now is she's too unreliable. p4 and p2 hoodwink just can't secure much with ulti anymore with how easy it is to get tunnel visioned (even by your own tree). While general setting up for plays is harder with the W nerfs, and landing her abilities became less rewarding with numbers overall being less. Aghs would be nice on spell builds but it's not really useful if your other abilities are kinda shit to use now.

            Brood is pretty bad.. her winrate varies on elo, but her pickrate is lower than before inflating those numbers. Reality for brood is this; if its a good brood game where the enemy team can't deal with her spiders, its a good brood game, and the changes didn't really change anything about that but make her less oppressive in the first few minutes, but once she gets those spiderlings again its just back to old brood and whether or not the stars align. The rework definitely didn't do go in her favor, if anything it made things worse with the perma sustain in lane, better teamfight potential with her shard, and being pubstompy with spiderlings while feeding gold to comps who can deal with them. Buffing her for more spiderlings may sound good for flash farming or stomping teams with little to deal with them, but it also feeds even more gold so meh.

                  As much as I hated necronomicon, I think they could’ve handled the it em better then just deleting it and deleting the heroes that relied on it, like maybe a cooldown increase or summon duration decreas, or even just lock it to a single level.

                    Problem about necrobook was

                    1) they nerfed it to hell, people still bought it
                    2) they nerfed the heroes that usually bought it, still didnt work

                    It was just gonna be another issue to balance it. so they removed.

                        It was so sad to see an iconic item removed from the game entirely. This is not the way to balance Lucan. Simply lower movespeed, armor and atk damage - hence weaker laning stage, later necro
