These changes are so random.

This changes every paradigm we've had in Dota for the last few months.

* XP AoE increased from 1200 to 1300
* Non-Ancient Neutrals now split XP with all heroes in the AoE instead of just the team that killed them
Defensive trilanes pretty much useless? I don't know how you force the offlaner out of exp range from your pull and you creeps. This is huge.

Well it's not like new players know who is IF anyway, that's the problem with giving games to big companies, nobody cares about you anymore.


A lot of gameplays got buffed...
