Wink [PROJECTILE] Shadow Fiend


_____

In the new update, his effects are all purple-black, his icons are all green-black (except ulti)
But only his attack projectile is white
A fiend shooting steams is just stupid
I had a hard time choosing between purple and green so I go with black

Stop this Awesome effect > Logical/Fitting.

OT:
That effect seems to big that it symbolizes a devastating attack that he isn't too strong to deal much damage.

t-down, current is perfect with his awesome very fast projectile. IIRC it has been like that ever since NVM was created. Why bother changing the attack of the greatest hero in DotA? (to me atleast) Also, why fix something that isn't broken?
If I were you I'd change back razes to how it was.

Also it would seem in his projectile that he is throwing some -spirit-like things or whatever

I prefer the current. It looks like shooting "death".

I like current one. It is the best about the whole hero (while I also think it would look awesome if he would be melee). Anyway, T-down. Your missile is too pitch-black.

It looks devastating, too cool, but doesn't fit.. I prefer that as a breath attack for evil dragons :P

IMO, switch projectiles with Pugna...
Green would be best, since I really do hope the Nevermore with green flames gets implemented..

This.
Maybe you should just try to paint his current one into black, or maybe you can talke one currently used by TB's Metha and paint it all black.
Black/purple Death Coil projectile would also be great.

Also, tip:
It would be good if someone (*cough* you *cough*) repaints his icons into black/purple so they are not black/green anymore since it doesn't fit him at all.
This one or this one should be used for his ultimate (only purple).

Black/purple fits shadow theme way better than black/green.
I hope he gets changed to black/purple totally.

Sorry but T-down. The current Nevermore projectile is better. I think he is projectile symbolizes souls not steam.

White=souls
But current looks like steam, so might be quite unfitting
Suggested=Kinda too big, foggish and idk if it will look great at high speed

Basically suggested gives more Cons than Pros so T-D.
