definitely not enough. need disassemble or a serious stat boost. i mean there are some heroes who can use vanguard reasonably right now, this patch doesn't change much.


Probably just 100% block chance it. Seems reasonable I think.

Seriously why isn't anyone talking about rubick change?

5sec CD means you can steal a channelling spell into the same channelling spell into the same channelling spell.

Sleep into sleep into sleep into sleep for example. Or Blackhole into Blackhole into Blackhole lol.

You could steal sleep, then sleep, steal another spell, steal sleep again and sleep again. For as long as you have mana.

Add od and never let the team move again!

Well, I think this is just a hilarious changelog. Almost no relevant nerfs to top heroes that needed them, no buffs to bottom heroes that needed them. Bat will still jungle and Dark Seer is still as annoying as ever, both being vastly too flexible to be drafted all the time which is the real problem of heroes like them; dat Sniper and Necrolyte gonna matter in competitive drafts. My only gut reaction positives - wisp is truly on the path to dying out which out of personal preference I don't mind but I know not everyone would agree, Invoker and Meepo changes are the only major changes that are actually reasonable and go into effect immediately and the heroes that are out of CM do need work so that's fair. Across the rest of the board though, disappointing. More Aghanim Scepter changeups for 5 position supports could be fun in pubs, won't affect competitve drafts at all and general powercreep seems to make this version worse than 6.78 as it just exacerbates differences between strong and weak heroes that were almost fixable before.

However, we have the entire jungle, gold, experience, somes items and roshan changed for the sake of yolo! I will say guys, that this won't change laning or drafting at all for CM like pubs think it might (again, shouldn't) for them. That's because the goal of a trilane is still and has always been for your Spectre (or any similar carry) to have 100 cs at 12-13 minutes, not to have 40 cs and some random farm on your supports the way pubs screw it up, and the opposing team still isn't smart to dual offlane against a tri with the same dearth of viable hero comps for it. Teams should have just drafted solo safelane Druids and the like if they want #4-5 to roam & jungle before, and they can still do it now, and any defensive or offensive trilane for the point of determining carry farm is still as strategically relevant as ever. So unpredictable effects on random junglers, some of whom are nerfed and buffed weirdly in the same patch is all we get, and the gold income changes counterbalance what supports see to early game items anyway.

For item changes, I think Armlet is now almost killed after it's had its run of being buffed, but I think that's a bit sad, I would rather have seen Naix and other right-click STR heroes that were what was actually being hated just nuked like TI2 era Lycan instead of the relevant and extremely fun item itself. Necrobook, Midas (also less variance in jungle xp), and Dom interactions are changes I think are uniformly good ideas and are significant. Stealth buffs that apply ridiculously narrowly to Furion and few other heroes you know everyone is going to enjoy.

At least tranquil boots are the way I always thought they were supposed to be, so I can be selflishly happy with something in the patch, but it's funny that the change is in the complete opposite direction of the previous deliberate patching of the item. Instead of an early game item for the regen to be disassembled by carries and sometimes junglers it is now a permanent viable option for supports, at all levels of course, and will make playing those positions more fun if you're the one doing it right in pub games.

The courier change though, is truly the most beautiful of all. One can hardly see what could have been done on purpose to further ruin some games for pubs, I think that's a little tough because hurting the new and casual player base for no good reason is senseless. Just make it so bottle cannot be refilled unless it's in a hero's inventory already. This is just indirect bottlecrow meddling anyway, that would have gotten rid of mid magnus and whomever else this change and previous patches were hopefully aimed at. It's not like the entire pro scene won't quickly adapt to anyone attempting more ground chicks snipes anyway or whatever other idea was predicted, but the change sure will be useful for those non-communicative pubs. It looks like town portal scroll can still be shared between allied heroes, so at worst a few competitive team will make slightly more creative use of that and the regen sharing still won't matter very much too.
When the scv came down to a patch of new resources without a destructable rock in sight, he proclaimed, "What possibilities!"

It was posted by a Valve dev, it's on the test client, and Icefrog linked it on his Weibo. It is very much legit.

So with the creep changes didnt they fuck over jungle prophet? (junglers in general)

Also the Slark nerf is crazy huge. reduced duration and increased cooldown by more than double?, hes not even a hero used in pro play.


And blood seeker? what the fuck. Hes going to be terrible in some areas and unstoppable in others. Movement speed is nuts.

This would be like startcraft starting over from scratch with new unit stats in LoV (we can only hope)

He's always needed the gold more than the XP, and you can get midas even faster now(5:30 under ideal circumstances).

Slark is basically invincible now every minute. He can base dive at level 6 and take no damage from anything. It's a MASSIVE buff, especially since a sentry/gem won't stop him from benefiting from the regen anymore. Leap in, start killing, get low, pop Shadow Dance, regen to full, keep killing. AoE heavy lineups are still a threat, but against anyone but maybe Sand King and Enigma he should still do fine.

meepo was actually nerfed i feel, his laning is better i guess, but the change to tranquil hurts his stupid fast farming rate, i can no longer get 6 with tranquils and clear the lane farm and the entire jungle every 60 seconds. because the passive regen and the active let you consistently keep your meepos healthy and farming. and the other boots dont really solve his problems, so yeah, actually think meepo is worse now.

he cant base dive for more than 4 seconds once every 65 and he would just die at level 6. Im not sure thats a buff, maybe for teamfights later, or a few early tower dives. But I guess I'll have to test it.

I am also suprised by the lack of Huskar nerfs... he seems really broken to me, but then again i play mid tier so who knows.



edit. These are the tags at the bottom of the thread

april fools, ded gaem how to kill a game, how to not patch a game, ignore broken heroes, nerf meepo, too stronknerf pub heroes, where is legion commander, yolo

You can't orb walk while ethereal anymore, which is a pretty sizable nerf to his normal pub build of BKB/armlet/ghost scepter for total invincibility while hitting everyone with flaming sticks.

If there's one thing I've learned over all these years of DotA it's to trust in IceFrog.

The changes I like the most:
- Spectre haunt
- Aegis heal, if left unused
- Axe Culling Blade
- Overall batrider nerf
- Strygwyr's Thirst changes seem completely bonkers, but the fun kind of way
- Panda Ulti changes. Thanks a lot IceFrog <3 Love you too.
- Brood Web changes were definetly needed and seem like tons of fun

Stuff that I'm curious to see on how they turn out
- Krob Exorcism dmg increase (Could someone do the math on this? The dmg must be through the roof)
- Doom ASU might actually see some play now? Not entirely sure.
- Wisp Tether Stun removal -> Thank god.

Things I don't quite understand:
- CK Chaos Bolt
- Lich Dark Ritual

Overall I'm really looking forward to see how things turn out.

I'm very curious on the Linken's Sphere change. Seems a little too useful to be able to give another hero one spellblock every 17 seconds.

Edit: 1200 movespeed BS, blink on pudge, possibly end to WC3 support... Times are changing.
