There's several things I'm worried about regarding this.. One is noobs rushing blink on pudge, losing the entire game immediately. Second is griefers trolling with it. It's also pretty strong for initiating. If pudge gets a good start in a game and grabs early blink, the whole map is basically lost xD.
HoN had blink pudge for a while I believe. It works and it's good, though sadly it does change the hero a bit. Hooking is less central to the hero because typically you'll blink in, ult, then immediately hook to finish off the target.

With the pathing change I wonder how much griefing will be possible. I also wonder what kind of terrain that pathing change will affect.

I actually didn't notice anything weird until I reached the B letter heroes.
Then it hit me.

Can I hook + blink now to grab my opponents even farther or?
|
Can Pudge blink in the midst of hook animation?

He can, but remember hook now only drags you to the place where you cast it. So your target will end up being hooked where you were before you blinked.
Though by that token you can hook people into trees/cliffs and blink away so they're stuck there alone.

the day/night, jungle and courier changes will be interesting. laning in general just got a whole lot crazier The night day change makes nights taker become awesome way earlier, but for less time. Will he hit level 6 if he is mid by the first night? will he get 6 by 4mins? not without a frag lol. it's not like he needs it to gank anyway, pretty normal to not even skill the ult at 6. he'll kick in faster but the first 4 mins are gonna be ass with the courier & bottle nerfs
think there's gonna be even more mid roaming so who knows what will happen. hope we keep seeing more earthshaker, and not just chen +1 roaming

Even if you could, since the last patch your target only is hooked to the initial location, not to pudge's current location.

spirit lance dodgeable. so its a skill shot now?
|
Actually Pudge being able to blink during Hook is good somewhat so you can Hook stronger heroes (or heroes you don't want near you anyway, for instance Life Stealer, etc.)
You interrupt, do damage, and get the fuck out.

my god i totally missed this * Roshan will respawn at a random time between 8 and 11 minutes after death what the fuck

- Added Aghanim's upgrade: reduces cooldown from 20/18/16 to 5, increases cast range from 1000 to 1400 and makes all stolen spells be considered to have their Aghanim's upgrade
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PREPARE FOR MAGIC FINGERS RUBICK MOVE THE FUCK ASIDE INVOKER

wtf is this.
even outside of agreeing/disagreeing with changes this might be too much in one patch. so much stuff which changes the ENTIRE game.
wouldve preferred a more stepbystep approach instead of "heres patch. dota as you knew it last years is done. hf"
well lotsa stuff about to happen. sit back and watch it is i guess.

Any spell that is now dodgeable means going Invisible or Blinking will dodge it. But it's still works how it's targeted now.
|
When they say X is dodgeable?
does that mean heroes like Void can dodge it or something else entirely?
|
Are we going to see more venge now? With blink dagger she should generally be able to queue up a swap so that she can just straight up pull a hero in without putting herself at risk (swap + queued blink dagger back). Blink is an expensive item for a support, but it seems like it'd be a fairly strong initiation now.
