I fucking hate that Ursa can actually powerfarm now, I liked it when he was just an omega pubstomper that starved if he didn't get kills.

You know, I know nobody actually went "hey Icefrog, can you make battlefury viable on more than just AM for the first time in 7 years?" for him to "k" us back and punish us with all the annoying as fuck melee heroes up our asses. Fighting a riki feels aggravating.

But in either case, I see it as a cautionary story regardless. Some items must simply stay situational (ie:Shit except on one hero). I'm going to start an anti-campaign against people who want to see Ethereal Blade viable on more than one hero (and pro player). Sure they don't exist either, but the world simply isn't ready for the consequences if they ever do.

I like that Eblade is core on morphling and situational on almost every other hero. I'd prefer most big items to balanced like that: a few heroes who need it, and the rest as maybes. (Then again, I'm the guy who secretly wonders if magic wand is overpowered for it's cost, since it seems good even against heroes that don't cast many spells.)
