game use general shield hp vs any dmg type, but why isn't physical/magic ones don't have unique mechanics attached to them to differentiate them from general shields, idea is:
since devs increased map size i find even low cd travels boots + twin gates still is not enough to move on map efficiently.
+ i always didn't liked heroes move speed balance, anything below 300 ms feels like ass to play (right now heroes sit between 275-330), so why not buff everyone's ms so heroes sit between 300-350 base to make heroes less reliant on boots and map movement would feel way better.

Gleipnier can focus on aoe bonus from Health, so new builds from Rod of Atos(2250)+Chasm stone(800)+1450 recipe/4500: 20 int/400 hp/40 Radius (+1 radius every 30 max hp), active Radius 325>300, mana cost 150>100.

On like high attack range hero like sniper/Tf etc or Woodwink/snapfire during ult you think it would cool feature if attacks/spells become bigger than camera can hold on 1 screen should game zoom out in that instance like Qol feature?
or maybe zoom out normal camera in game by some % as new standard for everyone (or combination of both), i feel like its to close for some heroes.
problems is see with her stats/skill set/role balance:
change to spell/stats: attack range 630>600, base str 20>24, int/lvl 1.9>2.4, attack projectile speed 900>1200,
Her innate is bait: it would make way more sense if after casting spell next hit do 8% max hp as magic dmg on-hit (2 charges), shard add 3 charges and buff max hp dmg by 4%.
Starstorm kind of breaking hero logic because everything else in her kit say to stay as far from enemy as possible, so if we change: 675 radius> 900 cast range/350 radius (she like shoot arrow up and it fall down in area, remove turn rate/cast time. 0.5 channel so she can cast it while kiting enemy, 1st hit instant when arrow fall down, 2nd in 1 sec within radius for 80%>100 dmg, mana cost 80-110>60-120.
Secret arrow problems i think: lvl give beside base dmg nothing, game don't incentivize you to play around long range hits, 3k range/900 speed (its 3.3 sec on max distance). i would make stun minimum duration 0.5/650 range, 5 sec at 3k range, projectile speed 900>1500, magic dmg 60-360 > 100-400, cd 19-16>20 sec, hitting enemy hero reduce cd by 1 sec/300 range (between arrow cast spot and enemy), mana cost 90>100. lvl 25 multi shot i would replace with remove range on arrow so she can globally scout map with scepter.
