Linken Sphere is too OP now.....

[Muncrat ditutupin tissue]

LS now have 14s cooldown.... In addition, it also blocks even ulti of quite number of character, to name a few are Doom and Sniper....
LS should be limited to block only 1st - 3rd skills only...
Now many character is crippled once enemy buys LS...

Valve should nerf LS to work only on 1st -3rd skills, but not ulti...

[DUGONG]

why would anyone buy linken then ,??? it's already inferior to bkb ... heroes like qop and supports need linken so they dont feed and can teamfight

[Muncrat ditutupin tissue]

If QOP ulti blocks by linken, would you still say the same?
Not all character have targetted spells... some even have targetted spells only on their ulti... so there is no work around on this except buying dagon, but it just becomes plain stupid that you need dagon just to enable your ulti...
Whereas dagon doesnt give high stats as compared to LS (at the same price point)...

BKB to me is fine because of their time limit as well as high cooldown...

[YONGSINNER]

You're playing with other 4 players, ask them to take off LS.
And the game still has items to take it off by yourself, like Atos, Eul etc.

If you aren't looking at enemy items you deserve to have your ultimate countered

Even then they can just position better. Linkens is probably only necessary if there's no tanks or they're being selfish ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not initiating.

Linken sphere is not overpowered at all.

the original linken sphere when dota 2 first come out is even worse than the current one.

it block spells every 120 secs.

it was then reduced to 60 secs

then reduced to 40 secs.

it was reduced to 12 secs and people complain about it.

as a result, it was increased to 14 secs Cooldown and no one complain about it.
