Lone Druid nerf too much? version 7.37d !!!

[Zubawanga]

Holy molly...
I just check dotabuff.. the day is not over yet and the lone druid stats drop from 5.02% to 3.27%(pick rate) and 51.5% to 46.83%(win rate).
Just remember.. the nerf is not only on heroes but also on items. Gleipnir and disperser which is essential for lone druid(bear necessities) while the 25 minute double wraith stats is essential for lone druid(bear with me).

Before you say it's only 5%.. please remember it's actually 40% nerf at level 1-5, 25% nerf at 6-11 and around 15% nerf at 12-18. This is the crucial time to win the lane and farms because lone druid as carry hero need gold advantage before late game(>45 minute) as the later the games goes the weaker lone druid(bear necessities) becomes due to only having 3 slots on druid.

Secondly, i didn't knew neutral item stats was buff by the facet previously... if this is true, then they should just fix this bug and test it out first because when i read the description of the facet before this nerf it clearly stated neutral item not affected.

I was expecting like 5% nerf at all level or so... but 20% at level 1(more like 40% statewise) is just plain too much.

Valve always do this and makes lone druid not viable again in tournaments. Byebye lone druid from tournaments.

Lastly please fix "unbearable" true form to use our cosmetic true form instead of the default one. This bug has persist for far too long.

Ok.. after over 24 hours since the nerf drops. We have a more reliable stats.
51.50% to 47.92% winrate
5.02% to 2.96% pickrate
Will have to wait 1 week to check what is the ratio of facets for lone druid.
I predict unbearable remain at below 2% while "bear with me" will overtake "bear necessities" in terms of choice... but not by a large margin.

What a weird thinking you have to think that a hero deserves nerfing because developer created a bunch of bug when they made changes to that particular heroes...

Lone Druid winrate+pickrate drop again today.
In less than 3 days, this is the stats:
51.50% to 46.20% winrate
5.02% to 2.62% pickrate.
Well done valve.
I was right. The nerf too much in 1 patch. Now lone druid belong to the category of lowest pickrate and winrate after 7.37d nerf.
Seriously, what are you all thinking nerfing 40% of the facet... then nerf his talents as well.

I was right.. "bear with me"(50.4%) had overtake "bear necessities"(45.64%).
Lone Druid is already not viable for tournaments before "bear necessities" facets and now they make it worst by nerfing "bear necessities" into unplayable and also nerf "bear with me" with the talent nerf.

Someone in the balancing team need to be fired. They are doing a very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ jobs.
