Valve, could you please sync Illusory Orb's audio?

Suggestion

Despite moving slower, the Orb still goes its full distance, meaning the Orb duration actually increased compared to previous patches. However, the audio isn't in sync, ending earlier than the window available to use Jaunt. This can be a pretty big deal because the audio is a really good indicator of its lifespan and, even though it's a couple of miliseconds, on a hero like Puck they're often the difference between dying and surviving, or getting to a hero that would be just out of range otherwise.

This also happened before when you acquired any kind of Cast range increase. A solution I always wanted to see with this is to simply give Puck an expiring buff like he already has with Phase Shift. That way you can know exactly how much time you have to Jaunt.

As an avid puck player this is a real good suggestion!

I once suggested spirit breaker gets a little buff giving the estimated time to arrive at a location via charge so that you can ping it end let your allies know and got crucified here for it.

As a low mmr player, I can't tell you how many times I charged mid to help our mid player and the second they say my change indicator they jumped in. Like 15 seconds early

Or maybe just revert the damn nerf and give Puck another nerf elsewhere. The slow orb makes Puck so weird to use

Or give us a double speed talent, Pucks talents went from being some of the best in the game to being mediocre as all hell

Max orb duration is 3.55 seconds

Min TP time is 3 seconds.

So yes, it is technically possible but delay in players command plus ping would make it not work in most cases.

Also there is no reason for you to do that. 0.5 seconds of fountain regen isn't worth sacrificing a TP cooldown.

How can you have numbers like the max travel time for a puck Orb, but not realize filling up a bottle is a thing and that the fountain healing buff persists after leaving for 3s too.

The use case for expending a TP cooldown is so few and far between. In how many situations realistically would you risk this??

Important express item pickup, small regen but bottle filling nonetheless, I could see why it would be useful.

Before pushing a tower.

Urn is a broken ass item because it gives your team momentum after a fight or gank. So would this trick.

I think something similar happens with Clinkz first skill Burning Barrage as well, they change something and now the sound doesnt quite sync. :(
