For 5.13, although 's base power got nerfed by 20, the passive boost from total lifesteal got doubled...that's a significant buff for , I feel, as he'll pick Typhon's up late-game. So he'll actually see a higher base of power from it, with it ramping up much higher as he's damaged and utilizes 's lifesteal boost more.

Also, got a nerf, and yes, they're trying to shift the meta away from healing. That said, doesn't pick up Asclepius, so that doesn't affect him at all. If you're saying instead that some Soloers would pick up Asclepius (I don't think you're saying this), the only one normally affected that would do so is, in my mind, .

And of course, as you mention, his early got better due to no longer requiring 3 levels to get the 2 corpses. This also means he can, if he prefers, start prioritizing before maxing . That's great for the potential of , and very strong against those self-healers.

will now also be a nice counter to the self-healing many Solo laners have, and should deal more damage due to more hits.

I don't know if that boosts him to A or whatnot, but

What I meant was other solo laners would pick up even if it’s just for fire giant buff. But the healers like Aphro, Chang’e etc will likely be less popular now so may have less relevance as a counter pick.

Updated for 5.13.

It was a major patch, so I'm still unsure about some placements and how they will play out. Happy with the overall results, though.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Yeah, , as well as several other Hunters, feel very weak at the moment. They are in need of some kind of rework/buff.

Oops, is supposed to be in S, not S+. He got a very nice buff to his passive, and has better teamfight poke and kill secure than most Assassins.

Yep I do agree with , and I forgot the change in passive.
Another thing I'm felling weird about is S tier. Last time I saw was B or A but they didn't change him, so why he become S?

is a very solid meta pick. He is usually drafted as a counter pick to specific compositions, especially healers.

His ult creates problems for several strong meta gods such as , , , , , , and . It also confines gods without leaps, such as or .

While you do have the option to purchase , a few things should be noted. For one thing, the cooldown on the relic is 150 seconds. 's ultimate has a 75 second cooldown (as low as 45 seconds at 40% CDR). This means that even if you use to get out of , can still potentially cast TWO MORE while the relic is on cooldown, depending on his CDR, which is typically maxed.

As you can see, his ultimate alone can be problematic for enemy teams, and this is before we've even taken into consideration the rest of his kit, which is fairly strong in itself. Among the Warrior class, perhaps only and are as strong as in the current meta (in my opinion).
