How changes affect builds#
Cooldown and scaling changes matter more than flat damage changes: a longer ultimate cooldown means fewer fights with it, and lower spirit scaling makes spirit items worth less on that hero. When a hero you play changes, check whether the item that scaled the changed number is still worth its slot.
