After the release of patch 7.40, a strange change was noticed in the functionality of Aghanim Shard for Slark. The ability Depth Shroud, which previously provided allies with the full set of bonuses from Slark's ultimate, now only works partially. This bug was noticed by the analyst Team Spirit sikle.
Before patch 7.40, Depth Shroud, when used on allies, granted them all the effects of Shadow Dance within the cloud. This included:
- invisibility
- health regeneration
- movement speed bonus
This interaction made the Shard for Slark useful not only in solo play but also in team fights, allowing for the rescue of supports or initiators under focus.
However, after the update, the situation changed. Now allies within the Depth Shroud only receive invisibility, while the regeneration and movement speed bonus no longer work. Slark himself continues to receive all the effects of the ultimate correctly.
At this moment, Valve has not officially commented on the change in the functionality of Depth Shroud. Due to the absence of mentions in the patch notes, most players tend to think that this is a bug rather than a deliberate nerf to the hero. If the issue is not fixed soon, Aghanim Shard for Slark will lose a significant part of its value, especially in team play.
