Morphling in 6.82 in General Discussion
Core

    Hi guys,
    I would like to know what is your opinion on morphling in upcomming version? Do you think he will be still viable?
    Because EB travel time will hit him really hard, cause u actually need to wait know for EB projectile to hit a target, so if u cast shotgun combo: waveform into EB + AS.. Adaptive strike will probably hit ur target faster then EB so u won´t get as much dmg and from my view, all morphlings in pro games 6.81 went Linkens + EB midgame nuking build.
    On the other side, many his other items got buffed, such as Linkens, Manta, Skadi and bfly. So do you think morphling will dissapear from metagame or are we gonna see some kind of new morph build without EB?
    sry for my english

      "Adaptive strike will probably hit ur target faster then EB so u won´t get as much dmg and from my view" - I dont see the problem. Its not like you got to cast both of these like you used to, instead just use EB, wait for the projectile to hit, cast AS.

        yeah but if u are doing it in front of whole enemy team u will get stunned hexed or silenced. What I mean is waving into enemy team EB + AS and replicate away or bkb before waveform ends, now u cant do it

          im not sure what the travel time for waveform is, but i would assume it's slower than eb. waveform's max distance is 1000 and it probably takes more than 1 second to cover the whole distance whereas eb's max range is 800 and it's projectile speed is 1100 meaning it takes less than 1 second.

          so it's still possible to waveform first, eb during waveform and then adaptive after. it'll just take some time getting used to the perfect timing.

          do it out of vision then. the point of the nerf was mainly directed at tinker i believe, but morph is included because of his low cast point, meaning that it was incredibly easy to instantly kill people with eb + dagon or eb + adaptive strike with basically no effort involved because items have no cast time or projectile time.

            1100 speed is actually REALLY fast, the only thing that can dodge is probably blink/phase shift. If you cast wave > eblade > strike the combo would probably be in sync although i havent tried yet.

            The eblade change actually really good for morphling pre-BKB, you can actually nuke down one and start right clicking immediately.
