I like the look of his talents. It may not be the best build, but it looks like his Lightning Nova build is going to be a lot of fun for teamfights.

I wonder why no one is discussing him? This has to be the first hero-sticky without any posts at all. Some time ago those stickys would reach a couple of pages and a discussion about good and bad of the hero, how to play, viability...

What happened? It is not even a boring hero, it is Mepphisto, who was a prime wish from the community...
