Is Terrorblade a utility support hero now?

50.57% - Terrorblade's new Normal Skill win%
49.17% - Terrorblade's new Very High Skill win%
This is only a **1.4%** difference. Typically when a hero is hard to play, and/or has a high carry potential but only if they get good farm, there is a greater variance between the skill brackets.
**Compare this to Antimage**: 46.26% Normal, 49.39% Very High, a **3.13%** difference.

The new **Reflection** when maxed is *100%* illusion damage, 5.5s duration, *900 radius*, and they are untargetable so it's a guaranteed 5.5s of damage. Oh, and it slows 25%.

Compare this to **Wall of Replica** which was *previously* the highest damage illusion damage skill at 60/75/90%. So at level 7 TB can get 100% reflect.
Wall has 150 damage on it, but also a lot of downsides in comparison (such as the huge radius and slow), in addition to a 6 times longer cooldown.
Wall can get 140% damage with Aghs, but that's with aghs. And even with Aghs, Wall is still worse than Reflection in many ways.

That's essentially twice per creep wave when defending creep wave that TB has Reflection to cast to defend it. The enemy using BKB removes the slow, but not the illusion.

Also, he's a lot weaker as a true carry now because TB himself is weak, and it's now easy to see and kill the real TB, especially among skilled players.

#TB basically has 3 ultimates now, and all 4 of his skills are at least partially independent of what items TB has.

**Reflection**: Scales on enemy replicatible passives and base damage.
(With Veno's new poison sting working on Illusions, for example, means

**Metamorphasis**: This is a base damage increase, and is still really strong without items, especially early on. Sure it scales off attack speed, but it's not the same as Mana Break which scales much better and works fully on illusions.

**Conjure Image**: Same as naga, except you can always have one up given the difference in cooldown Usable without items for scaling.

**Sunder**: Yes, it scales on TBs survivability, HOWEVER, you can heal allies with it in which case it scales on their survivability.
Its range is now far enough that it can be used in moderate safety on allies.

#Playing TB as support:

TB has a lot going for him here, assuming your allies have gankable lanes.

The range of Reflection is so large that it's only 100 shorter than the range that smoke will pop, so you are roughly guaranteed to get a 25% slow on the target for 2.5s that deals 40% damage at level 1.
Metamorphosis lasts long enough to at least get one gank with level 1.

And the time between Metamorphosis if Reflection isn't enough for a kill? You do pulls for some more farm and levels.

Late game, as noted before, you have Reflection to make highground nearly impenetrable.
Sunder works like a nearly instant Pugna ult on an ally, or like them popping cheese, to heal your real carry that would have far higher EHP and do far more than using it for yourself could ever do.


Paging Mr "Hi I'm Slahser, and today I'm going to teach you how to play a roaming support Terrorblade. I start with boots and smoke and max Reflection by level 7. I put 1 point Conjure Image for scouting and get stats instead of maxing it ..." Slahser
