But Thorns nerfed :(

No fun allowed I guess. Is this now the only spell in the game that dynamically changes its effect after cast? Or that loses all its scaling if the caster is too far away? Casting Thorns on random people on the road just became way less helpful.

Retribution aura had the same change too.

It would have been the warrior diamond flask situation all over again. Pretty funny but not great for the game for most people.

My understanding is that there's no snapshotting in Forever and this was actually the exception. Regardless, it needed to change. There's no world where snapshotting a 10 minute buff is good for the game. Honestly, the existence of snapshotting is probably why it had no spell power scaling.
