You wouldn't need to build the full vlads, though the +armor it gives probably helps too

The theory that dota devs use for updating is the buff things that they see under used and nerf things that are used a lot. Like rod of atos for example, its been a good item for awhile, but nobody uses it still.

he gets countered super easily and doesnt fit well in trilanes since he needs levels, his lane is always pushed bc of tidebringer, and he needs a lot of farm to be relevant mid to late. theyre small buffs, i think it'll be fine.

To add onto that, I think the changes go along with the recurrent theme that they want the game to be more active and gank heavy rather than farming based.
I agree with some sentiments above that the changes to Ursa and Huskar's orb effects are massive. I really hope necrophos gets played now I love that hero and pugna got a buff so I'm pretty happy about that too.

Doesn't his W already gives you max attack speed? MoM would be sort of pointless (other than the move speed I guess). Deso would make him a building-eating madman

for 6 attacks. MoM lasts for 12 seconds. wouldn't be pointless at all. you'd be able to stagger them so you'd fury swipe, MoM, fury swipe.

yeah, i'm just not a huge fan of diffusal on non illusion/manta core heroes :< way more expensive obviously but id prefer a skadi on ursa...that'd be so fucking insane.

Hyped for Satanic/Skadi ursa.
Keep hearing people talking about Mask of Madness as a pickup, but it's so much wasted potential as your entire attack modifier slot is banking on it's active and can't be upgraded.
