Ember is okay if you treat range as the weak link. It's not, but the other 3 stats are more important. My stats now are something like +15% range, +90% duration, +75% efficiency, and +30% damage. Streamline, fleeting, stretch, intensify, continuity, constitution, and narrow minded. Leaves room for vitality, redirection, and World on Fire. I left narrow minded at -30% range, so with stretch it adds up to +15%. I can basically press WoF every 20 seconds and keep it on forever, which is fine for infested with the limited range but is a bit harder for anything else. Honestly I don't even bring Ember to anything but infested anymore.

With the exception of Saryn, who you already mentioned, the other caster frames at least all have a unique thing. Like Mag is good at ragdoll-ing enemies, and Frost is more defensive (Snow Globe isn't as good as it was, but it's not terrible). While Saryn's miasma isn't bad, it's nothing special compared to other ults. IMO to fix her they should make contagion do an AOE like toxic ancients.

I agree with the above comments on fireball, as well as most other #1 offensive powers (pull excepted, and maybe sonic boom). If i'm going to take the time to aim at an enemy and press a button, it may as well be the trigger of a gun and not a power that costs energy.
