I think that Vindicta and Gray Talon are powerful in lane, but don't really have any fun counterplay for short range heroes other than just not peeking them the whole time.
So I want to introduce the Ball & Chain, which is a 1600 item that will upgrade to Knockdown. It is a very heavy throwable that if you can hit the enemy flyer in mid air, will drag them to the ground for a second (similar to phantom strike grounding). You need to get really close to the flyer to ensure that it will actually hit them, because you can only throw it about 5m.
This means that if they want to fly, they will have to be more careful about when and why they do it. And the flyers can dodge it if they are skilled enough, because it is very cumbersome and heavy for the attacker.
Optional: Knockdown is increased in price to 6400, but now also silences movement abilities.
