This situational early game item may be a useful investment against enemies who focus on denies , and produce mind games.

Soul decoy : 500 cost spirit item
+4% cooldown reduction to all abilities and items

Upon killing an enemy trooper without melee , add a 50% chance of generating an extra decoy soul orb flying in a different direction.
The decoy would show as dark green to you , but orange to the enemy.
Enemy heroes shooting the decoy will be debuffed with -25% fire rate for the next 4 seconds. Hitting several decoys will not stack the effect , only refresh the duration.

While this gives you a chance to shoot the true soul orb with the enemy being distracted by the decoy , you can also opt to shoot at the decoy , pretending to miss to make them shoot it and trigger the fire rate debuff before exchanging fire with them.

It will be useless after 3k souls and getting your ult. why bother buying it in the first place. After some time people will learn to recognize when they hit a decoy and just dip without taking fight in weakened state.
