DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

I think most players can agree that Muerta is in trouble. Actual win ratio aside, she's just awkward to use and has confused design. Her skills are split pretty hard between "carry" Muerta" and "support" Muerta with no real synergy between these two sets of skills. A hero that has skills split like this CAN work. Gyro is a prime example, being played as both a carry and a support all throughout DOTA's history. But Muerta dropped the ball here.

I think the core of what make Muerta strange is Deadshot and to a lesser extent her passive. Deadshot is just too awkward to use on carry Muerta. But it also isn't strong enough on support Muerta to really make her a viable hero. Gunslinger on the other hand is useless on support Muerta. No matter what Muerta has one skill that just feels like dog.

My rework aims to make Muerta feel less awkward without pushing her too hard into a carry or support role. Her new strength is teamfights, but she's weaker at picking off single targets.

Deadshot rework: Removed the awkward vector targeting. Now is a skillshot that bounces between targets when it lands. Designed to be a lot less awkard to carry Muerta to use while also making her stronger in a teamfight.
Gunslinger work: Gunslinger can now be disabled through a toggle. Allowing a carry Muerta to level it first without shoving the lane.

I left all other skill the same because I actually think their fine.
