Some folks get thrown into disarray over the side lane changes. People try 2/1/2s and stuff. Then they remember why trilanes are good and start doing them again. First defensive because supports start last-hitting neutrals and want guaranteed lane wins, then aggressive because that's been buffed, and then things get really crazy. That and more teams draft crazy 4-core Axe gets picked like 1000% more and run offlane, thus becoming a counterpick to the crazy 4-core meta I just laid out. Bloodseeker. Death Prophet finally gets recognition for being awesome and becomes the counter to late game carries with BKB, creating new fourth-ban DP drafting dynamic for teams looking to run 4-protect-1 strats. Huskar gets changed again. Lich becomes the anti-DP for his ability to give those safe lane carries some extra XP and gold (indirectly). Luna/WR becomes the new most skillful/gimmicky pocket combo. NoTail does Meepo poof victory ceremony after winning TI4 with said hero. Mirana gets used even more, which is cool because she's the best hero ever. TA gets picked 28% more to act as a Roshan-watcher. People also realize she's better now that defensive trilanes are weaker. New DotA 2 players have recurring nightmares about Pudge appearing out of thin air right next to them while they sit in terror next to their feeble sentry wards. Some professional players begin experiencing the same thing after playing against Na'Vi. Rubick becomes the new Rubick, which is the old Rubick only better. More specifically, Dendi is seen playing him mid again every so often. Radiant win rates dip for a while as teams struggle to accept the Roshan change. Alliance draft Ursa every time they get Dire. This leads to some heavier disparity in drafting patterns for Radiant and Dire teams, with Radiant in particular investing more heavily in pushing and/or defensive trilanes. As a consequence, DP becomes first ban for Dire teams (see the above note on Death Prophet). | ||

Imagine how many broken things will be discovered in crucial games, things which are only open to fixing after those games have been played and the winner has been crowned. good thing the only tournament that matters, TI4, is still far away. | ||

Instead of my allies being hooked by stupidly obvious hooks and dragged away the Pudge will now blink in for teh ultz and I can at least burst him down (or stun the ult). I don't think it's broken, I just think it's terrible. There's already a pudge in every game and a useless pudge in every game when he's on my team. I really don't want another reason for bad players to build useless pudges. | ||

Disregarding balance, there's still the fact that any lag (think cross server play) is going to make insane difference, it's far too fast for human reaction to be relevant, it's impossible to observe, let alone handle in play. That much speed seems redundant anyway. | ||

(that is to say, there's no real reason besides game experience) its very different sharing exp with ally and sharing exp with enemy. i hope you can somehow understand that. this change will get reverted for sure. | ||

The net effect of this patch seems like a huge nerf to defensive tri-lanes and jungling, which was a hallmark of Alliance's playstyle (although to be fair I've missed about a month of dota and haven't gotten back into it, so metas may have changed). Furion definitely seems like he got a huge nerf from the jungling changes, his treants now give more xp and gold too. Thank fucking god, I hated that hero being so consistently picked.... | ||

The ulti doesn't proc the arcane aura though. It's 0 cd. His other spells still will, though, so you could get an extra ulti out if you're lucky with procs. | ||
