It can work, but considering Time Walk’s long cooldown on low levels, one would have to sacrifice the early levels in Time Lock, thus reducing his damage output even further. Quite a few have tried playing him as a 3 position hero. Which would be fine, if his damage output was something a little more intimidating than a mosquito bite.Ī carry without damage hardly feels like a carry at all. Because of this, and because the idea was to make him a bit tankier, getting Mask of Madness seems like a suicidal choice right now. On the other hand though, he has arguably lost a lot more than he’s gained. His initiation was butchered, to say the least, with Time Walk range dropping from a powerful 1300 to a little above 600, and people consider buying Blink Dagger on him. Both of these along with his relatively high base Strength and decent armour can make a hard to kill hero.

In its place, we were introduced to Time Dilation, a rather unique spell that becomes more effective the more active and spammable skills the targets possess (Bristleback is a sad pig right now).

Backtrack was removed as a skill and was practically merged with Time Walk, making it a more reliable ability, paired with a very low cooldown when maxed out. With the remake, mister Darkterror is now a lot tankier. 30% extra damage taken means 30% less effective HP, and less effective HP means less Backtracks. The problem was that Mask of Madness doesn’t synergize with evasion skills, namely, Backtrack. Very rarely would we see a Void without that mask for a face. To make up for this, Mask of Madness was a core item on him. His major drawback was that for a carry, his damage output was minimal, which hindered both his burst and farm. His Time Lock would provide some extra damage during his ult, and some further lockdown otherwise. The concept of Faceless Void was a hero that would have great initiation and lockdown, catching enemies in his Chronosphere and bursting them down while they’d remain completely helpless with the tears in their eyes frozen in time forever. Today, we’re going to take a look at this new Timelord and see whether his carry potential is still alive and kicking or not. One of the most traditional carries in the game is now a completely different hero and the community’s opinions vary a lot on his new form.
