When designing this skill, we had the following goals:
- To provide another way to heal minions, in addition to the current flask mod and totems that people use.
- To allow situational recall of minions when it's strategically useful (for example, as a meat shield, or when you benefit from them being nearby).
- As a solution for people to recover minions that are stuck behind terrain. While running a certain distance away from them will recall them, it's useful to have an on-demand way to do this.
- To limit abuse cases by putting the skill on an eight-second cooldown. It's useful for the above reasons but doesn't allow you to teleport your minions to you every second.
- To introduce this skill as soon as we could after the recent functional change to Smoke Mine.
1.1.3 will be ready for deployment in a couple of weeks. We'll post a more accurate timeframe and information about its other contents in the news between now and then.
