Theory crafting Vengeful Spirit and Terrorblade in General Discussion

    Vengeful spirit's Vengeance Aura provides +125 attack range and +13 to primary attribute at level 4 (can be buffed to 21 with a talent).

    Terrorblade is an agility hero who gets a ranged attack when under metamorphosis.

    Problem is that Vengeful spirit in lane can have difficulty as her attack range starts at 400 (can be increased to 425 if you take vengeance aura at level 1). This prevents her from trading with other ranged offlaners who have 600+ range and makes it difficult to harass melee offlaners without drawing creep aggro. So running her as a pos 4 offlaner with potential to rotate mid in certain situations could work.

    In the late game it means that Terrorblade has 550 base + 125 vengeance aura + 140 dragon lance + 300 attack range from talent which effectively gives him 1115 attack range which is quite a lot. Plus his attacks are physical but he usually stacks stats so rarely has armour reduction from desolator/AC and only sometimes goes crit from a Daedalus so the damage reduction of wave of terror helps him.

    Finally both Terrorblade and Vengeful spirit aghs upgrade both cause the enemy to be feared which is some sort of thematic similarity somehow idk.

    What do you think about the likelihood of TB/Venge picks becoming meta particularly if TB gets a few more direct buffs this upcoming patch?

      TB and vengeful spirit is a very strong lane. You have a kill potential every time meta is off cd with the armor reduction from venge.
