Significance of the 6.79 Magnus turn rate buff

In the latest patch, magnus' turn rate has been buffed from 0.5 to 0.8. As a result, the only heroes with faster turn rate than him are lifestealer, batrider, bristleback, and shadow fiend (all of which have 1.0 turn rate). I think this buff's main purpose is to improve the success rate of the blink+skewer combo where magnus quickly brings the enemy to danger in a distance of up to 1200 units (ala batrider). Before the buff, we usually see magni in the competitive scene do this move inconsistently most of the times but now that it is comparably easier to pull off, will this simple buff make magnus return to the pro scene?
