So im speaking mainly to the true OD enjoyers here who see him more than a vessel for meme hammer. I always enjoyed OD back in the days and thought he was a hidden gem of a hero. In my mind the hero was more about extremely strong right clicks with an ability to push people out of teamfights with astral.
So anyways, first of all, how hard do you think he will be nerfed?
I think removing meme hammer is a possibility. If not, other nerfs I can see coming are making the hammer cast time random, or astral time random. I can also see changes such:
as movement speed nerf, (altho historically OD has always had high MS right??)
making his passive restore less mana. Tbh I think this will be thw main nerf and theyll just make it so that OD can no longer build himself up to 100% mana from 0%mana… Although that would kinda kill the spirit of the hero IMO. Essence flux was always essential to the hero
rework the aghs and no longer gives two charge of astral maybe?
So lets say some of these nerfs or all of them get implemented, where do you see the future of this hero? And most importantly do you think he will still be a decent viable core hero?
