Everyone and their grandma can play it. The range is ridiculous, you can even outrange forts like wth!? He now counters his supposed counters because no one can stop the mighty & powerful point & click! There is no risk in playing it, it’s even playable with 1 hand!!!

W buffs don’t give Falstad any more health. He still dies just as easily, he’s super squishy.

They need to do one the following
- Lower the dmg for less dueling potential
- Lower the range for more difficulty
- Remove the reset mechanic for less teamfight potential

So you just got owned by a Falstad because you don’t know how to play?

Current falst is too strong, it has little to do with mechanical skill

Wait what reset? Oh, you mean when someone dies?
The active range seems to be farther than the cast range. Even with mobility, walking away from it is challenging. You just have to deal more damage than he’s dealing to you.

Yes that one. You can spam the abilitie the weakest hero and its like artys laser on 20
Current Fals has too much damage. A nerf would be nice, but PLEASE, don’t kill him again.

No, it’s completely different. Lightning rod actually hits 
I’d like a buff to Q quest. It’s really underwhelming.

Bu the Q quest has been weak all along. For some reason they don’t want it to work.
I mean, when I read the patch notes I had a feeling like the devs capable of balance HATE Q build fasltad. Really. They just nerf each of his Q talent.

“Magestad” (Q quest + Q talents, occassionally W on lv13) was the original go-to build, and he could also later on stun targets for 0.75 seconds each time he auto-attacked a hero hit by Hammerang.
They got traumatized by the complaints, slowly nerfed the build over time and W/AA became somewhat standard.
They have a history of nerfing a very strong talent tree on a hero then never allowing it to become meta again, even when years have passed.

Speaking of “easily”, one must also take into account his ridiculously easy escapes. Such a buff on such a hero is very dangerous, though I wouldn’t call it toxic (but it almost is) for he is very hard to get, despite his squishiness.

Yeah but you can force him to retreat out of lightning range. He either needs to stay in for stacks/damage or bail. W build is pretty damn strong right now but it’s not unstoppable. Any CC or burst damage and he has to retreat or feed. Against comps without solid CC, burst or mobility his W build will wreck though. I’ve been using it against tanks like Mei to great effect.

Watch from 3:25:51 until the end of that game.
Hyper carry Valla comp replaced by Falstad during the late game.

I mean this is a hyper carry comp… He’s got Aba, Ana and Uther keeping him up to stack and melt people. I see your point but this situation is designed to let him pop off.

The thing is, it takes skills for a hyper carry Valla, Illidan, Maiev or Kerrigan to work. It’s not the case with W Falstad.
Now, I’ll wait again a bit to see how strong it is after the bug fix.

He already has 63% popularity in masters now and 59% winrate so expect a nerf.
