Still feels incredibly boring. I'd rather play Timbersaw, Undying, Night Stalker, TA, Nyx, Storm Spirit, Lina, or Leshrac who can go make things happen by themselves. Half the games are pretty much lost when I play Earthshaker by the time I could have gotten blink up even by being really greedy. I realize his competitive niche: he fits in really well with a 4p1 composition and was really well suited to the c. 2010 Chinese DotA competitive scene (along with vengeful spirit, venomancer, crystal maiden, enigma, etc.) but that isn't exactly what gets played in pubs and I find that sort of play just incredibly boring. His mana dependency and his long cast times just feel so awkward. The hero might be numerically good and have a niche but he's just not enjoyable for me. And I actually know I'm not the only one who feels this way; there have been a lot of people who have echoed these same sentiments.
