Quinn on expectations from patch 7.42: “Removing invisibility from Bounty Hunter and Aghanim's Shard from Invoker”

Caster and former professional player Quinn 'Quinn' Callahan, during a live broadcast on Twitch, named the most “honest” and “dishonest” heroes, and also shared his expectations from the new patch.

Probably Juggernaut is the most adequate hero. He is very "honest". Who is the “honest” mid player? Storm Spirit... No, I actually hate his Static Remnant. Void Spirit "honest", Queen of Pain, Leshrac. Kunkka is still a pretty “honest” hero, of course.

Visage is definitely "dishonest". Now this is a lame hero, but if he is in the meta, he is as “dishonest” and vile as possible. Among the “spoiled” ones, Tinker will be at the top. I think Tinker, Broodmother, Doom.

Removing Aghanim's Scepter from Lone Druid and making it cost 400 mana to summon a bear. Removing invisibility from Bounty Hunter and Aghanim's Shard from Invoker. I'd like to see something like this in the patch.

[And the weakening of Earth Spirit? ] Yes, that too, I forgot about it. He needs to remove 8 base damage. I think this is enough. You need to cut at least 5 base damage. Even if they take 8, it will still remain playable.

[Want to see map changes? ] To be honest, I'm not sure. People have too many different opinions on this matter, including me. I don't have a precise position on this issue. But I want the stacks in the forest to be weakened somehow.

[Which heroes need to be strengthened? ] Silencer is very weak right now. Wraith King is generally a terrible hero. Phantom Assassin is bad. Anti-Mage and Bloodseeker are also weak. A lot of carries are bad right now. Chen is not particularly strong, but he is very annoying when in the meta. Leshrac and Omniknight need buffing.

Why these particular heroes? Io is a broken hero right now, Bounty Hunter and Invoker are too, and Mirana is just strong. And I'm already tired of heroes with invisibility.
