Hey!

 

I just wanted to say that visages familiars need a buff or 3, no one ever picks them. Their synergy aoe stun is sorta good-ish with agha, but their damage is pathethic, in s6 mode they get outscaled by everyone super easy, thanks to the insane kill/assist golds.

 

My suggestion is to give them the imba-dota treatment. In imba-dota they have an aura that adds 20 pure damage to any damage instance near a familiar. I propose something similar - keep their current physical damage, but give each familiar something like 20 pure damage per hit, or 0,3x primary attritube added as pure damage per hit, or so.

 

The synergy upgrade is ok-ish, but should also add some survivability or speed to the familiars. They should definitely become faster at ulti level 2/3.

MS will be buffed and maybe each will got unique low-range aura.

The auras should definitely be offensive, something along the line of TC aura, SF aura, Omniknight aura and so on, since there is little reason to keep familiars close to oneself.

 

A cool idea I have had for an aura for a while is for each attack by owner to add flat damage scaling with attribute towards enemies in it, sort of a reverse-return.

Attribute-based damage is not so good idea. It's already on FireShow and looks... strange.

 

Low-ranged auras like omni + sf + smth other +++ (one aura per familiar only with synergy, maybe instead stone form cooldown reduction)

the reason theyre not picked is that theyre a bitch to micro and you can't even do anything fun with them if you bother.

 

maybe they should reduce damage output of stuff they're hitting or something.
