Default Simple Tweaks in Snowball.


1. Make it Point or Area target instead of Unit. But give more travel and casting range and probably more AoE.

2. Make the hero selectable but unable to be controlled. It sometimes annoying to unable to select the hero.

3. If it doesn't hit any units, it'll stun all units inside instead.

That's why I gave some buff on travel and cast range?

Also, it'll be a nerf to those who can't predict movement only.

1 would allow it to be an escape mechanism (and a REALLY FUCKING GOOD ONE at that). I think this goes against the skill's offensive design. I also think it makes for less actiony gameplay. Also it allows casting without sight of the enemies, which takes away from the interaction between Sigil as a scout and Snowball.

2 is pretty much a common-sense thing. It might be a technical requirement though. If not it's a fine change.

^Then it is nearly the same as the old Storm's ulti
OT: Nah, I don't like it, keep it simple as it is now. No need to give him an escaping mechanism considering his ganking power

Tuskar is seriously imbalanced by this time and now you want to buff him(wait, all the people above was talking about a new escape mecha soo..)?

T-Down if he has a new use for snowball
T-Up if you only suggest to change the target type like Sven's stormbolt(but this can be at visual forums)

About escaping mechanism, yes it can be used as escaping mechanism but you should remember it has 40 seconds cooldown....

Default Re: Simple Tweaks in Snowball.

That would be the best team escape mechanisms ever. I'm not sure if it should be such an escape mechanism and although I kind of like the idea, I'm not sure if it is a good idea. The skill is already an awesome initiating skill and will stay a great one and you're making it even an awesome escape mechanism? That's a huge buff.
I also agree with kitchen, the interaction of his other skills kind of form such a combo, that it makes more sense if it stays unit-targeted.

Icefrog don't make it point but unit because he don't want it as a escaping mechanism.
