I like Unbound as well, but I think Lunge has the same utility and more honestly.
Sure, Unbound can help you escape through areas where you don't have vision, but if I count the times I could've escaped with juuust baarely more Q range...plus, useful for really fun stuff like Qing mercs over walls that you really shouldn't be able to.
It's a nice luxury to have honestly, I love the feel of having it. It's just like...GK and SS are so strong you'd be nuts to pick anything else in a real game. It's also really good vs Rehgar/Li Li.
A tragedy it's on Lv 13 tbh, I think it'd be an awesome lv 4 talent.
I like the idea, I'll check back when it's more complete.
I think if any of Illidan's top talent picks are nerfed the new build will be Seasoned Marksman, Thirsting Blade, and Thrill of Battle. I really like that combination of talents. Chucking First Aid out of the window is a hard pill to swallow but if you can get away with easing through the early game I love having that combination at 16+.
I also secretly like Lunge, but...who in their right mind will take that over GK/Sixth Sense?
By the way, before I even say anything -- thank you for running your own super helpful guide. I used yours to learn him way back in Jan/Feb ish, and it was hugely helpful, so thank you. :)
Yeah, I've been experimenting with SM/TB/Thrill lately, and it's pretty interesting, if slightly riskier. That's definitely going into my combination section once I figure out how to format it. If you've got suggestions, I'm completely open for them.
I haven't really messed around much with Lunge. I think I took it once by accident because I wasn't paying attention and thought we'd hit a different talent tier, but you're absolutely right in that it's hard to justify over GK/SS. Unbound is actually a guilty pleasure of mine as well on that tier, but I can only really justify it one in every 10 CH games at best, and not really ever on most other maps. :(
