With the wishlist post from earlier, a lot of comments brought up the issue with Marci. This hero, when played as a support, is obviously overtuned in both pubs and the pro scene.
As a core Marci spammer, I would like to share my ideas for support nerfs while keeping her core playstyle viable. Feel free to give your opinion or discuss different changes.
There are two issues which lead to Marci having such a high pick/ban rate. First of all, she is way too good during laning with most safelaners and actual cancer with certain ranged offlaners like viper/enigma/visage. Secondly, she deals too much damage with minimal farm.
A good starting point for nerfs would be to make Rebound cast range/jump distance scale based on level. Make it much lower initially and scale it back up to what it is currently when maxed.
Another good change would be to make sidekick weaker on allies like with Bloodseeker's bloodrage or Magnus's empower. Maybe allies only get about half the effect. The Rebound ally speed buff could also be reduced.
Finally, pulses in ult should need items for damage. The shard could also be changed so she only has Dispose for save.
Ideally the changes would make her require a core role to get core level value. It could look something like this:
Marci
Rebound
* Cast Range/Max Leap Distance decreased from 800 to 425/550/675/800
* Ally Move Speed Bonus decreased from 25/30/35/40% to 15%Sidekick
* Reduced Self Attack Damage Bonus from 20/35/50/65 to 20/30/40/50
* Reduced Ally Attack Damage Bonus from 20/35/50/65 to 10/15/20/25
* Reduced Ally Lifesteal from 35%/40%/45%/50% to 10%/15%/20%/25%Unleash
* Pulse Damage changed from 50/100/150 to 30% Attack Damage
