I really don't care about the leets who are going to tell me I'm wrong. From the games I play, this is what I think:
Need a nerf:
Torturer - too much potential damage even late game, awesome laner/ganker, and can deliver more pulsing AoE damage than pudge, without doing ANY damage to his own health. 177 per second, And the AoE blade spikes. Too much
Valkyrie- The spear stun needs to have a smaller maximum stun, higher minimum stun. How about a 4 second max, with a 2 second minimum.
Hellbringer- Utility AoE skill is way too good, the BEST laner, ok ganker because of DoT and snare, awesome lategame seiger. Refresher stone on this guy, woops!
Electrician- My favorite hero hands down. But WAY too good. 5 second channeling stun is fine, and its kinda his signature move. But his AoE nuke should probably turned into a crappy passive. He's way too good late game as a tank because of that, but his manashield isnt the issue its that sweet AoE nuke.
Moon Queen: Just her ult. Little too good considering how sweet her other abilities are. She's not as bad as the others, just needs to lose either some ult damage, or something else.
These are whom I think are the baseline, well balanced heroes that shouldn't be moved much:
Warbeast: Great hero. Balanced summons make him a decent laner, good passive, good buff, and his ultimate gives him an escape move. He can be suppressed early which balances him out, he can't just keep spamming dogs early on, unless he wastes money on mana, and he also feeds you extra money and exp in doing so. Good at what he does, but isn't a hero that can do it all like some are.
Puppetmaster: Good hero, that isn't invincible, or good at too many different things. Decent laner, awesome ganker, but isn't a huge tower pushing nightmare at the same time.
Now for the list of Buff heroes that I've seen:
Blacksmith: I have no idea how this hero doesn't get serious love. Why in God's name would you make a character this luck dependent? a 1.5 second stun on his nuke??? Bad secondary AoE DoT? Ok, his buff skill is pretty good, but would you really take him over torturer, or even thunderbringer, or pyromancer, oh, and he's MELEE. What??? Buff big time!
Pebbles: Yea, the notorious pebbles. I think he needs a buff. They took away his stellar passive without giving him back a normal amount of armor. His nukes are good, but you have to itemize more mana to make them really good, which puts him behind everyone else. He's close to par. Just needs the normal or just slightly lower than normal amount of armer.
