Why not?

Because Silencer is smart.

Because its his main source of damage, curse of the silent and last word can only be used once then cool down, he'd be useless if he was confined to sub 100dmg for more than 10 mins

It's also innate. As in he already knows it. There is no other hero with an ability like that, except for possibly Axe, with his high regen.

Minefield sign does almost nothing, remnants are the basis for other skills. So while I did make a misnomer in that, there is a serious difference.

Ok but I still don't see why this matters. Even if you put it back to being part of glaives like it used to be most silencers get glaives at lvl1 or 2. It wouldn't change much.

It's the only innate stat steal, not to mention it's also permanent.
I'm also butthurt because said innate intelligence steal ruined any chance of me playing weaver for about 3 matches in a row.

Ok but that's the point of the hero. You get early kills and can be a hard hitting carry late game or you snowball out of control.

I also made this thread out of half butthurt and half questioning why the balls that he has an innate stat steal.
So you are not forced to put one point in useless ability in early game (W)

W is great early game for harassing. His Q does almost nothing against most heroes since it's canceled by casting a spell so if you don't skill any spell it's that one.

No offense but how did you keep dying to silencer as weaver? Unless he used global and was with another hero or two he shouldn't be able to kill you since you can just shukuchi away before his e goes off.

Early game, Curse of the silent. Wrecked my mana, kept dying to his glaives.
