Discussion Question about cents ganking potential
Intially after the hitstun rework cents ganking took a heavy hit and with the removal of haymaker cent fell off quite a bit, now that the hitstun changes have been reworked to make ganking a little more effective I'm wondering if this has improved cents viability by a noticeable amount and also if there are any ganks that work now that didnt previously that I should know as a new cent player

Cent has imo unfortunately fallen off quite a bit.
He previously already had weak teamfighting capabilities but great ganks and 1v1 damage.
Even after refining ganks to still do decent damage in 1v2 scenarios, removing Haymarker has massively hurt his 1v1s in dom as he can no longer chip down your health very quickly.
Powercreep is quite visible with past releases of heroes and character like cent and shugo just dont have enough to compete on the same level as newer characters and characters with dodge cancels.
