Default [IMPLEMENTED]Morphling's Adaptive Strike


Change Physical damage to Magical damage or Mixed damage.

More ethereal blade sync.

Default Re: Morphling's Adaptive Strike

I was thinking about it and I couldn't get why his "nuke" has physical damage...he doesn't have anything that synergizes with it, like Dazzle or Slardar.

When someone has around 6 armor, it's like 25% dmg reduction.
Nukes are better early, but he's able to reach high agility values (with some safety) only very later.

He would need 100 agi points to reach any regular nukes (around 300 magic damage).

The knockback (if I can remember) depends on str...

Why would someone use adaptive strike with 1.5x more agility?
Is it just a penalty in order not to have high dps and stun at same time?


With +40 agi points for 4800 gold (and more 40% magic damage), EB would really be able on him if your suggestion was implemented.
If he'd manage to get 150 or 200 agi points:

325 from Waveform + 2.5x from EB + 3x from Adaptive = 1150x 1.05 = 1207 real damage.

325 + 5.5x200 = around 1500 real damage within 3 seconds!

Sven's stun is much better because it is an AoE stun.

OT:
.nothing to say.

Default Re: Morphling's Adaptive Strike

idea is good but that would be imba, he already has a high dmg nuke with built-in blink with invulnerability.

How? 200 agility = 600 damage. When is he able to get 200 agi without being killed with 2 hits?

He does not have any -armor ability. Even with desolator, dmg would be low.

325 + 3xAgi (let's say 100) = 625 dmg. He has serious mana problems early and he'd expose himself at very high risk to reach 100 agi points at lvl 10, e.g.

Made a test: lvl 10, PT and 3 wraith bands= 100 agi points, but 530 hp!

Implemented, while nerfing his ability of clonewaring.
So, EB is very viable on him now?

Default Re: Morphling's Adaptive Strike

I feel myself as corresponsable for this...first comment 1 month later thread post.

He had the idea and I've argumented and shown examples/questions about how this change would affect Morph.
I really think he needed that.
Congrat archimonde92!

I have some calculation at second post of this thread. Take your conclusions!
