http://www.dota2.com/rekindlingsoul/ Just going through this now and holy shit all the changes. That Bane aghs upgrade is god like Those bloodcyka changes are fairly crazy, will have to play a game with him to get a feel for if this has buffed or nerfed him Chen getting stronger is always good. Would like to see him played more. E: just realised the extent of the chen buffs, of god he can control ancients now holy shit 10/10 dark seer changes Dazzle buffs are my opium The new earth spirit aghs ulti seems pretty class, though only had one or two experiences with earth spirit so not sure how the other changes will affect him Jugg ulti buffs oh god reaver will be happy Kotl buffs make a happy mole Legion Commander replacing bloodseeker in cm, hopefully she'll get some play in tournaments now All meepo's get meepo prime's boots, I am more than OK with this. (may be wrong in my interpretation of that, I am alcohol) Ogre Magi "Base HP regeneration increased from 0.25 to 2.5" holy guacamole Omniknight getting buffs aww yiss PL out of cm wowawewa I'll need to play him to decide if these changes are good or not but holy balls was not expecting a pl complete overhaul. Pugna getting a heal is nice, might give them a go at some point Sizeable razor nerfs are pretty nice What is this new riki Shadow fiend buffs wait what I thought he was strong enough already No more perma stun snipers? Terrorblade into cm with minimal changes.. interesting. Treant changes sound quite cool, looking forward to playing around with the new ability Tusk changes are nice, ice shards are more of a skill shot and the tusk player no longer has to select everyone to go into the snowball. All for these warlock changes, very nice Windranger buffs yeh Armlet is now 100 less gold, that's gonna make a lot of happy melee carries Blink is now 100 more gold, that's gonna make a lot of unhappy earthshakers Crimson guard looks pretty cool if you're going down a more tanky route Faster courier with a faster but shorter boost. I am okay with this (not sure how I feel about the morphing courier though E: Just noticed that the buyer of the courier can lock it to their courier only, thank god, I never want to see a damn boar again) Helm and hood buffs are nice Mek getting more mana intensive is not my favourite change by a long way Cheaper TP's making everybody happy except for NP, but fuck NP. Aghs Laguna blade is pure damage oh lordy New chat wheel options are nice I guess No diretide because apparently they're working on monumental changes to doto next year. Get hype? Map layout changes seem pretty odd, nice that the dire side rosh advantage seems to be dead, but now you can't go secret shopping in the pit and my bot land trees are all cut up so I can't hide any more. New SF model is nice, and his arcana looks class, by fire be purged Rune changes are going to take some getting used to Warding the bot rune and pit is now even easier, thank you icefrog.
The following abilities no longer cancel Blade Fury: Chronosphere DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS I FOUND THE COUNTER TO FACELESS HOLY SHIT Counter Helix chance to activate increased from 17% to 20% DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS THAT'S A WHOLE 3% MORE AXE... PER AXE Also I enjoy the Razor nerfs, he was pretty abusive to lane against and from the times I've played him he really is extremely simplistic to play. >also slight Balanar buffs, definitely interesting in playing him again @dukeofcrumpet if you were serous about wanting to retry dota now may be the time
>Aghanim's Scepter Fiend's Grip now also causes anyone attacks Bane while he is channeling to be afflicted with Nightmare Not that there's any chance I'll be playing it again but jesus christ
http://www.dota2.com/newbloom/part1 New Bloom announced, Winter Wyvern confirmed, CM Arcana not really confirmed but it definitly looks like it.
BUT TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and Skywrath mage with CDR item is 100x more annoying
Mangoes with your tangos, eating wards, new godlike support item, everybody gets aghs, 360 noscope invoker. I like the sound of this update
Does anyone actually use this thread anymore? Cause 6.85 (Buff everyone, but nerf the pub stompers patch) has been out for a while, and no one has posted here yet.
