Trying to save a core with Shallow Grave often feels much harder against an Ancient Apparition. The main issue is Ice Blast. It doesn't stop the Grave from preventing death, but it completely shuts down any follow-up healing from Shadow Wave. This puts Dazzle in a tough spot, as the saved ally can't be topped off and has to immediately flee the fight. This pressure complicates Dazzle's whole game plan of sustaining his team through long engagements. While his saves are still valuable and available more often than Ice Blast, having his healing threatened by a single spell gives Ancient Apparition a consistent edge in teamfights.
