rearm is mana costly. It's strong but not that game breaking. As HiV said in the other thread, disabling rearm reduces variety and may just turn lod into carry/mc dominated game
Rearm is game breaking.
It enables game breaking ultimates to be used constantly.
Usually those skills are tide turners for the flow of the game, mostly saved up for a special opportunity to max out the payout during a big fight.
- Mass Serpent Wards
- Rain of Chaos (Inferno)
- Sanity's Eclipse
- Black Hole
- Chain Frost
- Death Ward
The list is long of game changing ultimates when used properly and with rearm theres no down time, it just becomes your standard method for encountering players and creep waves.
Majority of those mentioned clears a creep wave on the spot and can usually take down 1-3 players at the time.
You either use soulring to cancel out (/partially in lategame) Rearm manacost and/or Boots of Travel for a mana refill.
And you teleport back again with 100% mana pool.
For infinite ultimate spam that is not a high requirement. Soul Ring can take you far alone.
Boots of Travel gives you a constant flow.
My personal favourite is Sanity's Eclipse.
- Instakill all in target circle.
- Gain gold, exp, stats (from Fleash Heap / GoW).
- Rearm -> Refill mana / Ready to instawipe all in sight.
You can't recover from that, it just decides the game.
- It's too much power.
For that reason with many other examples, rearm has been the cancer - and rearm comboes has been reported frequently for winning games with OP cancer unstoppable builds.
So instead of banning each individual combo that shows up, you fix the source of this - Rearm. Thus ending the cycle of complaints on a new combo discovered and getting banned.
Look at it from the other perspective, the new rearm can enable other builds we havn't thought of yet.
I'm gonna try out Rearm, Assassinate, Chakra magic for 0CD. (20% + 25% + 5s -> 1s CD).

Far as HiV is concerned, thats their bed to sleep in. They got their current game modes hosted regurarely with their playerbase playing those cancer modes.
Stop hosting cancer game modes or stop complaining about balance in a broken game mode.
Since people complain on a broken game mode anyway, here we are.
- Sincerely, Whiteboard.
GG humanity, as always.
