^plus armor reduction increased from 5 to 6,it's like you already have a deso/armor reduction similar to deso (although deso is 7 rather than 6 but still)
lol, the OP is as slow as a turtle in his predictions :D are you even checking the updates?
Upgrading from the base components gives you 8 purge charges, +4 intelligence and the ability to burn 50 mana per attack which deal an extra 40 damage per attack (since you deal 0.8 damage per mana burnt.) All that for 700 gold.
Yes the extra 40 damage only applies as long as they have mana to burn but its still ridiculously strong for 700 gold. No other item in the game offers that sort of value. This is the problem with it: that if offers huge utility while being a great DPS item for cores.
I think mask is balanced, the silence is such a huge liability for so many heroes, it's a very limited use item. I love it for farming on a ton of heroes but you can't use it in fights on many. Like I see tons of void players get it and then die cus they are silenced coming out of chrono.
MoM is balanced in such a way that only a few heroes can actually use it, those being Sven (all spells have longer CD than the MoM silence and you use them right away when joining a fight), Troll (doesn't care about silence too much since he axes + ults when initiating on a target, the only thing he might want to do is use ranged axes if kited, which he now can't), Luna is KINDA okay with MoM but if she's focused by physical damage she'll die fast if she doesn't have any defensive/tanky items. MoM is a liability for Jugg as much as it is for Void, since both have a defensive spell, rather than building a defensive item.
I mean, MoM is already nerfed hard by the introduction of silence alone, I don't think it'd be imbalanced even if it didn't reduce armor, the silence is such a pain in the ass that it's justified.
db castrange nerf, mom manacost up or cd up OR armor reduc up again OR cant buy 1 component in sideshop
I hate mask on troll, I have no idea why people get it. It's really good on luna, just don't use it when you might get focused down. Amazing for farming and dps when you run in and the end and nuke people with ult. Really good on medusa too, right after using ultimate.
Well it's clear an item is OP if a hero who can't even make use of the main purpose of the item (manaburn) still buys the item. Purge is a very rare thing in this game and counters many, many things.
Having Mask on Troll is not a choice tho. If you buy Satanic and Butterfly later on, you automatically have Mask.
Well ok you can have mask and just not use it I guess in fights. That would be fine, cus I usually go casual morbid mask into potential satanic later anyway. I'm not a big butterfly fan and game always ends before getting satanic. Usual build up for me is phase, aquila, morbid mask, s&y, bkb, then game often ends but if not it's either skadi to tank more/disable carries more or crystalis into bloodthorn for more dmg/cc. Mkb of course at that point if evasion counter is needed, and I will rush satanic if vs a ton of blade mails.

i think it's too strong plus the pros have started abusing those cost efficient items.
