Don't blame the car, blame the driver.
Yes you need to manage a bit your cooldowns, positioning and focusing now on clinkz. More than before.
The effective uptime of Q buff is nearly 50% without the refresh which is very strong.
How does it feel to need to use your brain instead of pressing R ?
Edit: Sry for the salt but you are clearly spitting on some caviar because you just don't know how to appreciate it.
Its a different Hero now.
He is like he was before the ult change.
A early to mid snowball ganker, and even late very strong if farmed well.
i think they should replace the actual ult because it rly sux but the rest of the hero is well balanced and effective
The function of this hero is clicking on people with deso, no longer clicking r and laughing as you get an ultra mega rampage
At lvl 30 for clinkz no items his skeleton archer does only 35 damage plus searing arrows. Before at lvl 30 no items clinkz skeletons would do 120% his base damage. Which is mostly just his agi 120%. It would have been around 140 damage plus searing arrows per skeleton.
How can you even compare 35 damage to 140 damage??? 35 damage is like what furion treants do..
Lets say you buy a divine rapier that is plus 330 damage your skeletons only get plus 90 damage... Like come on.
The only thing that is kinda a plus now is the face ur death pact buff also lowers the armor of buildings so you can take towers fast again but there is a huge problem of death pact compare to before. You cannot target ally units. Like wtf? This means you cannot deny and most of the time there is simply no targets for you to death pact.
clicking on people with ur hero means you are suppose to get a buff of damage somehow. Clinkz starts wit 40 base damage like who are you suppose to kill. Look at how much damage void spirit starts with. You do less base damage than a cm with an ult that does 0 damage. At this point they should swap skeleton army with his first skill and death pact back to being the ult.
he could be a decent pos 5 hero if he is able to use death pact on ally creeps but sadly he cant. You can probably build drums and start with a blight stone to just zone out enemy offlaners.
You still win with clinkz in your bracket so whats the real problem`?
I agree that the ult nerf is over the rooftop but the other buffs on him like more Health and passive armor reduction make him more balanced and fair than before.
Press R and see enemys melt was fun when you play it but its not fun at all if you play against that shit.
The nerfs were much needed man. I'd agree he's probably a bit weak right now and isn't free kill everytime ulti's up or you get Aghs. I think the build is what needs to be changed now, you probably shouldn't be rushing aghs anymore. Soul ring should be a thing again with Dark pact, Deso should probably be the first big core item (some much needed damage + armor reduction stacks with armor reduction from 1st) with Diffusal or Orchid maybe, into Daedalus or something. Damage type change allows you to get damage items like Deso, Daedalus, MKB etc without restricting yourself to agi only and I think his build should be focused around that.
His ultimate should be a supporting spell to deal extra damage, finish off backlines, or splitting the fight, but not as the primary spell you depend on anymore. I think he's weak, but still viable. Just needs to be played differently now.
Ok the clumsy net is a huge buff for clinkz as is broach. Those 2 early game jungle items will make or break the game.

His ult is extremely lackluster now at lvl 6 it does like 12 damage per skeleton... Like wtf. If you want to kill someone you have to break invisibility or in some cases waste your invis just to get extra attack speed. His first skill is on a 90 sec cd that is just insane. Ya it refreshes if you kill someone but if you dont get the kill you are looking at a 40 sec down time. The 5 perma damage is pretty much a joke as even in the best of best games like I am talking about 20 plus kills etc you are only looking at plus 60 to 80 damage. Which would have been fine before but with jungle items it is a joke. A randomly drop jungle item can give you plus 40 damage instantly.
