Why are there not many IM Samuro players nowadays?
A few days ago, someone friended me just because they saw I was an IM Samuro.
That got me thinking about the IM vs Bladestorm debate.
Some IM Samuro players argue that Bladestorm is for unskilled players, Illusion Master is better overall. But I don’t think only noobs pick Bladestorm. Even very good Samuros pick Bladestorm often.
What do you think? Is IM just harder to pull off and people gave up on it, or has it become a bit useless after the nerf/rework? If it’s a bit useless now, how would you buff it? I think increasing clone durations by 2 seconds when you pick IM will be a good buff.
For context, I default to IM, mostly because it is way more fun and it fits my pvp focused playstyle, but I’ll switch to Bladestorm when opponents have better soak and I can trust my team for teamfights, like when I’m in a 5 stack.
