its because dota/dota2's splash item has a splash radius of 225 while this tiamat only has 185, believe it or not that difference of 40 in radius does cut off the chances of you getting a clean splash off on nearby enemies.

its why tiamat's only required buff is to bump the radius to 200-225, 200 being much more acceptable since it wouldn't break it into OPness because of stacking and 225 to slightly turn it into a legendary item.
