[Targetting - 6.63] Mana Burn

Deathlust_ · 09-17-2009, 02:51 AM

Since 6.63, Mana Burn burns mana off the target unit by 4x its current Intelligence, I suggest removing the ability to target non-hero units, at the very least.

If you target a Necromancer, neutral creep, or so forth, you waste your mana, cooldown, and do absolutely nothing to it.

By making Mana Burn only able to target heroes, you can save people from a stupid function (what's the point? it only offers misclicks for players or dumb attempts by newbs who don't know how it works). After all, you can't use something like Doom Bringer's Devour on heroes and have no effect occur.

INSTA T-UP anyway i haven't played NA yet but INSTA T-UP xD great idea noob friendly and often u miss click without wanting no matter how pro u are ^^

Swiftkick · 09-17-2009, 04:33 AM

People actually used Mana burn on creeps?

Huh. I used Impale.

Ah well, Thumbs up!

AbyssPetra · 09-17-2009, 06:29 AM

before 6.63, yeah..i used mana burn on creep while going back to base.

T-UP why shouldnt it?

Tain · 09-17-2009, 07:40 AM

i think this is more of a mistake than its actually intended.

for what is worth, T-UP

Manta · 09-17-2009, 08:51 AM

why not? more newb-friendly then

t-up

stoney · 09-17-2009, 08:53 AM

Yeh good idea. Used it to mana burn a necro late game (farming) and its just a waste.

It's kinda a pity really the change makes NA weaker imo especially againsts non intel hero early game. Would be better if it goes up each level (4x, 5x, 6x, etc)

Diabolic · 09-17-2009, 09:31 AM

Two Thumbs up for that.

Cp6uja · 09-17-2009, 09:49 AM

Hmmm, nice. Didn't know about that.

supaplecs · 09-17-2009, 10:56 AM

t-up for sure ! make sense

king_james · 09-17-2009, 12:20 PM

Support. Haven't played 6.63 yet, but hopefully this will make NA a lot more newb-friendly.

fan.god · 09-17-2009, 01:47 PM

T-up ofc
Has anyone played the new NA? I haven't yet but I think Icy may be too tough on NA :|

cromat · 09-17-2009, 01:55 PM

.Budi · 09-17-2009, 03:26 PM

You can't use Devour on heroes.

That because heroes don't taste good and Luci doesn't want to eat them.

Well, NA has different tastes. He doesn't like his creeps to be burnt when he eats them. He only likes crispiness in heroes that he nomnomnoms.

R.B.Economy · 09-18-2009, 01:53 AM

I still want to target creeps sometimes. Can it be remade so it deals a fixed damage to creeps with mana? Like:

Mana Burn
Burns 70/140/210/280 mana of non-heroes, and 4x INT of heroes.

NoThlnG · 09-18-2009, 04:58 AM

Full Support. No reason to use it to creeps really.
