can't remember the name of the skill, but it's the one that shoots blades up everywhere. In DotA this skill was GREAT for taking out towers, seems it doesn't do anything to towers in HoN though. I'd like to see this get implemented back in.

I don't remember lechrac's ability doing damage to towers...

It did - it's one of the main reasons he is such a good pusher.

Edict did a LOT of damage to buildings. I think that if they put it back in, they should scale down how much it actually does. In dota i think it was just a bit too good in some situations.

In DotA the skill which hit towers was called Diabolic Edict.
The skill would hit a random target inside a 250(?) aoe ranged, if only one target was inside this range it would only hit that unit. If you stood next to a tower with this skill on all the hits would hit the tower.
It was an extremely powerful early tower push skill which tormentor does not have.
Having said that, I think S2 plan to impliment the blades skill to cause building damage which would go someway to bringing him back into line with his DotA equivilent.

i think his blade thing should work like Edict does. if only one target is in its aoe, it should be hit by all of them.

Not quite true, Scout's backstab bonus from Vanish works on buildings.

SUPPORT with two hands down
Lesh was downright weak in Dota (almost never picked in higher levels of play due to his Item reliance). I don't get it why he is nerfed in HoN. Edict is useless now due to 3 reasons:
1. No damage to buildings
2. Randomness - If a single target was in range, Edict always hit him (even stealthed, anyone know if it hits invis targets in HoN?)
3. Cap to damage

I fail to see how Leshrac was weak in DotA or never picked. He was really powerful if executed well and laned with a SK or ES.

Lesh Diabolic still hits invis units in DotA. Also, it still continues to go after death.

If you find me a replay with Leshrac in the first 5 pages of the replays, let me know... And fyi, any range stunner will be good with SK or ES :D

Hence i refered to WAS picked. He used to be picked in 6.52d alot, before gameplay became faster and more gang orientated, since he is item dependant, but you said he is weak. Which he isn't. He just isn't on the same level of strength as Lion/Lina/Rhasta compared to their item neediness :)
I believe you there wont be replays :-)

Leshrac was horribly powerful in EM games though, once you got him the ulti scepter and a dagger :)

Please do not spend more time in the balance section when talking about EM in it. Thank you in advance :)

it should do damage to buildings, its a physical attack and the armor of the tower will nerf its damage down quite a bit anyway so not allowing it to damage it is silly, besides half the time if its not late game the torturer won't get a full effect from the blades hitting the tower because more then likely hes gonna get shot at by it and be forced to run and heal.
