        Hero is fine until the introduction of talents. Her talents are really bad. Her talents basically does nothing and doesnt make her stronger compared to other mid heroes' talent tree like sf ember qop puck ta magnus. She is still a single target dps hero but even that dps is nowhere close to sf or ta's. Her talent at 10 and 15 is actually ok. But where she falls off the most in the late game, she gets useless talents like spell amp and 100 atk range.

        Another major weakness of wr is her inability to flash farm. Which makes her fall off against other mid cores

          I think the current WR is better than most people give her credit for, albeit not much. The +4 regen and 200hp shore up your midgame itemization problems. Her talent tree is too boring imo, like there's almost no situation which would make you pick 15dmg or 16int because 4mana regen is too good to pass up (maybe you have a teammate CM and an enemy OD...?). It speeds up her farm and clash output far more, and she doesnt have the attack speed to make use 15dmg outside her ult this early on. Then she doesnt have enough spells to make use of 16int + 4 mana regen, unless she's going to build utility like meka...meh. She isnt a leshrac or storm spirit and can barely finish her mana pool in clashes. The 200hp together with aghanims means she can focus purely on a +dmg item afterwards. The %magic resistance is better 99% of the time because the alternative only buffs powershot...unless the enemy is devoid of spells altogether. Her level 25 upgrade choice doesnt matter, you wont feel either of them...the %magic dmg buff, and lvl 25 talents need to be changed to make her have real alternative playstyles. The best idea I saw here is getting dagon/veil with all caster talents

            убийство первого

              поменять ей таланты надо-таланты просто дибильные , лучше поменять таланты. ВРка чёт герой вообще забытый , только я на ней катаю наверн.

                I was waiting for this post on dotabuff. Windranger surely is not the hero you want in this patch. Im 49/100 WR ranked on dotabuff, and i can agree that you really have to go tryhard to win in latest patch. Talents are retarded, and you dont have the space to farm items as quick as the other heroes can. Im even thinking if i am a good player when i pick WR....so yes, please buff this hero a bit.

                  The problem no is windrager. Im think the problem is EE

                    Sorry, but there is no way, that +15 damage is better than +4 mana regen, doesn't matter is it support or core WR (well, maybe CM's aura matters, but can't think anything else). No more mana problem, it's just awesome. 15 damage is what, aquilla? Negligible.

                      A buff? Something's surely going on in that twisted little mind of yours

                        I would prefer having more damage on WR because her ult makes great use of extra damage and you can just be less reliant on powershot to farm and be fine. The point of this article however is that all of the talents are a bit underwhelming, and I would say that the ultimate is the reason it is so low as compared to, say necro having +45. Nevertheless, it should be upped because she needs something to give her enough nuking potential. She isn't a tank, so low dmg over time is unacceptable. But the extra mana regen doesn't give you the damage you need either, as powershot has a medium cooldown so that damage can only be used for farming.

                                You know, there might be a pretty strong argument made for removing the dmg reduction on her ult completely. Seeing as she needs a blink dagger in the majority of games to make opportunities, she falls behind in dmg output. There are a lot of heroes that jump ahead in dmg output with a blink dagger because they are aoe heroes like tide and sand king, so it means more people can be caught in their ultis. But WR is a single target hero with an ult reliant on attack damage. Necro isn't reliant on dmg items so he can get blink and be fine, TA is an early game hero so that blink allows her to exploit that advantage early, but WR struggles from poor damage, and never recovers from it.

                                I still think switching her to an agi hero would be the best thing for her because she usually buys damage items and bloodthorn, so she would lose bloodthorn but gain manta, hurricane pike, aquila, and I suppose diffusal, although that would be a pretty weird item on her.

                                Either those things or give her a magic dmg spell that actually does legitimate damage. But that's boring.

                                  @Brock Hall, without aghs, this +15 damage is +7,5 at first level ulti, +9 at second and +10,5 at third. Really, it doesn't really matter. Buy two nulls and you won't feel the diffrence. Rush aghs and feel the power of wind.

                                    I'm more talking in an ideal situation where the talents are actually good. Between mana regen and damage, I'd prefer having damage. I don't rely on spamming spells on her so most of the time I don't feel strapped for mana. And by the time you have aghs, you're pretty much are fine on mana anyway. I think the article says it best: 15 dmg is a super low dmg talent, and +4 mana regen is super high, but you don't need that much extra mana and that much damage isn't enough.

                                    So yeah, I can see someone preferring the mana talent as it stands, but neither are all that beneficial to WR in my opinion.

                                      I don't think only Windrunner has to get a buff. I think all heroes that have less wr than 50% want to get a buff

                                            Exaclty, talent tree for WR needs a serious rework. Maybe they can add something when she get aghs. WR needs atleast 2 core items before you can feel his presence. Please volvo bring back the RANGERofWIND! Powershot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                But Windrunner wasn't always a core :/
                                                Before she got popular with the slahser build she was primarily usedd as a support. In DotA 1 she was only a support and I was reported a few times when I played her carry before mainstream
                                                Btw her talents are worse than +6 treants

                                                  she needs a stonger talents, thats all
                                                  maybe more magic damage powerups
                                                  before 7.00, she looked pretty decent with drow's aura, but now, most heroes got powered up, wr didnt get good enough talents
                                                  may be like 10 level talents +100 damage on powershot, for early nukes?

                                                      I think windranger's 20 / 25 talent should have an option to turn powershot into an auto attack based dmg skillshot. like wukong/sniper(with ags). Alternatively she could be given charges for powershot. I'm always biased towards charges as i think it offers great mechanical plays. Darkseer is someone i would give charges to. 5 spell charges. A charge is expended for surge or ion shell. Then technically he could surge 5 people or ion shell 5 people. or anything inbetween. Oh and an aghs upgrade for him should be that every illusion spawned from his ulti has ion shell. i mean, why not. Values would have to be tweaked ofcourse
