THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: He feels useful but not overpowering with a slight glass jaw. 220 seems pretty on par for him.

GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: He definitely has a glass jaw so you want to hold him back till your opponent is distracted by a more durable threat. Solid all around and definitely useful in and out of New God builds.
