I haven't bought aghs on undying yet to see if the differences actualy matter, but I think I'll start getting it on axe after I get the basics down, culling blade fatality is one of the most satisfying things in this game.

Aghs Undying is great. I personally love it especially since they buffed the slow part of the ult so now you can inflict 40% bonus damage on them even easier.

I usually get it after one or two items. Though I can't really tell if I'm dominating them because of the bonus damage or simply because I'm fed as hell. That's kinda the problem with passive abilities.

I remember during the first greviling, my Aghs Undying was undefeatable. Mostly because that mode was a neverending teamfight. One of my fondest memories was two shotting a Queen of Pain with my Aghs Undying. It was like Veil of Discord + Flesh Golem + Dagon. Splat.

Bloodseeker's actually a really bad example because Rupture's been pure damage since 6.81 at the very latest, just the tooltips and Dota 1 failed to update for that.

Fair enough. You could salve through Wave of Terror, for a different example. VS is incredibly obnoxious now to lane against because of that change. On the plus side, I can stack the dire ancients 9 times from the lane now.

Make sure you're dire when you do this.  Also make sure you have a Lich with an Aghs on your team.

But that would be sensible!  I'd rather have a murderstack just sitting there waiting for a lonely support to walk by.  Or possibly the enemy team's carry.

Just wait till your teammates goes by, see the super flashes and clear the camp anyways even after you ping the hell out of them annd respond with sorry after they've walked to the secret shop.

Had a huuuge comeback yesterday. The enemy team (which was full of carries and semicarries in their endgame) was breaking through our base and about to push the ancient towers, when my axe and our troll warlord started picking them apart and killing each of the enemies one by one after they got cocky and started taunting at our fountain. One minute later all of their heroes except WK were dead and we just made a rush for their base, smashed WK and their ancient.

Its always satisfying to see the enemy team going "gg izi game jajajaja" and then getting smashed in the last 3 minutes. It would just be more satisfying if I got more culling blade fatalities that game. Playing axe against WK and PL isn't a fun experience.

I get that it's a powerful teamfight ability, but still confused as to why they changed something that has been around for likely close to a decade at this point, while changing nothing else from Omni's kit?

He still does have a very strong role even without the regeneration, though.

I suppose they're going to be making a sweep for all the large teamfighting abilities, given how much of a gold and experience advantage winning one can grant.

I think it had something to do with Omniknight's 63% winrate in public games in 6.82 and 6.82b.

Eeeh... Omni's been getting buffed for so long now and the Aghs thing made him a bit silly. It's not the worst thing in the world, though I agree it seems unnecessary.

Originally, the regen was designed to counteract the minor physical damage that for through (it gave 9999 armor instead of total immunity). Now, with the aghs upgrade, it could heal buildings every few minutes. The removal of healing prevents this, so only Treant can help structures. Which is kinda fair, I guess.

Anyone else feels like the matches are a lot longer since 6.82c again?
