Dehaka by TheViking

I am a very experienced Dehacka player and the resent buffs have showed that they want to improve him but they clearly don't see some of hi major problems and design flaws. Essens aa build is clearly the strongest build currently and i aim at making speed and w build more competitive with the aa build. Main problem with W build is that its out right ridiculous against some teams but useless in all other cases. Brush stalker build is just to unpickable on a large portion of the maps because of the lack of bushes and having any talent be gated behind a condition like that is just forcing a OP or trash state where its either insane of useless from map to map.
