I just wanted to reinforce that this is the consensus opinion. At high levels (Mirror Image and Critical Strike together) and with high level items (Claws, Crowns, Helm of Valor, etc.), this skill makes the Blademaster extremely tanky and difficult to kill. 5 seconds CD up from 3 second CD is not nearly enough. His images cost very little mana, last too long, soak up way more damage than any other summon (It takes like 5 devours to dispell one of the images when the BM is around level 6). To top all of this off, they do a lot of damage in this situation and can be infinitely resummoned to avoid exp loss if somehow the opponent dispells it 5 times.
Orc is already overpowered in FFA. Please revert the change giving them damage. This was a controversial change when it came out and the game hasn’t gotten better from it. However, the impact in FFA is that it has been the most game-breaking change ever.
There is a large community that plays FFA, and even if you look at the BNet ladder, Orc dominates the top of the ladder and games played by a huge margin.
Reverting this change and/or nerfing MI more so would do wonders for FFA meta without hurting 1v1. Please!

Yup. Well said.
The experience given from killing Illusions is inconsequential anyway.

Mirror image is just the tip of the iceberg. Orc is just insanely good overall in ffa.
Best Heroes, best casters (fully upgraded), best towers, fooking bats.
The only race that has a chance of beating them is human by forcing a base race lol.

Get ready for an even higher level of Orc dominance in free for all. Healing wards will surely be made magic immune. No one seems to be listening, and no rationale is provided for these changes. Healing wards could easily be given 200 health or more. That should appease everyone

Because healing wards have been utterly useless for 23 years by virtue of being dispellable maybe?
So you are a proponent of this change, would you be satisfied with 200 health healing wards not magic immune? Do you play free for all? Maybe the wards could be said to be useless in solo matches. In free for all whoever has healing wards has an invaluable advantage
The changes to wards I cannot complain because it is a change they are making to improve the 1v1 meta - which the game is balanced around. However BM Mirror Images is only extremely overpowered in FFA and isn’t seen much in 1v1. They could nerf MI and help out the FFA meta tremendously while barely affecting 1v1.
