One reason Riki's support is good (if you know what you are doing) is his Smoke Screen. It is a simple spell to understand, AOE Silence + Miss Chance. Cool.

What people don't know is in patch 7.36, Smoke was changed to also apply to allies.

Now why is it broken? #1

Enemy carry used to be able to BKB in smoke to disable the miss chance and kill people in it. Now? Even when they BKB, they are only removing their blind effect but Riki's allies still have miss chance/evasion.

So now you are forced to buy MKB to secure kills. As Riki support, you can abuse this mechanic to make enemies commit.

Now why is it broken? #2

It now works on TOWERS. Remember the annoying permanent miss chance bubble from Arc Warden? Well, now you have the same spell with 75% miss chance and aoe silence (-5 armor if you have shard) on 8 second CD for a spell with 6 second duration.

It also works the other way around, you are sieging high ground? Enemy glyphed? Use smoke on your creep wave and watch them survived the entire glyph duration!

Now why is it broken? #3

Shard disables ally targeting, which means there is no glimmer, force staff, oracle ult, or dazzle grave—basically, it is anti-save. Also side effect of tilting enemy carry because they will be flaming their support for not casting spell!

Edit: Miss chance for allies also means that you can use smoke on allies if enemy Sniper/Ranged heroes are attacking your teammates from a distance.

That's all folks! Good luck traveling in the woods alone! Poof!

So, I just lost a game because I forgot that the fissure is an exception to this rule. Spear pins units to other impassable terrain spells, such as clockwerk cogs, tusk shards (even if these spells are casted by Mars' enemy), but for some reason spear just pushes enemies to the other side of easrthshaker's fissure. Why?

I hope they keep the Crownfall minigames. I had a lot of fun with them, and it would be great if they left them in the game, accessible through some menu or something. Pls Valve! You put so much work into it. You may as well keep it.
