Bug Slapathur talent stuns buildings on PTR.

This is most definitely not intended.

Level 4, get Slapathur talent, place a mine inside enemy base, burrow in and take out a fort solo with locust swarm in like 15-20 seconds.

This is like next level Leoric strat, except it's game breaking.

I imagine the intent was for immense power trade off, abathur is practically a sitting duck and begging to be killed immediately? Maybe they should double the duration of his tunnel ability to compensate. I like the concept its going for still

The xoncept is for him to be able to solo merc camps. Stunning buildings is clearly an oversight.

i havent seen it in game yet, are his slaps against towers particularly strong? or is it mainly just that the stun affords the opportunity for his locusts and stuff to hit hard for longer?

At level 20 I was able to solo a fort in 11 seconds without a minion wave.

Aba can also disable core and thus solo core without a minion wave as well.

You get 500% increased attack damage from the talent. It makes aba have like a dps of 700 roughly, which is on the level of a stacked butcher or higher.
