The change I dislike the most is the TP time increased on towers. It takes 7 seconds to get to a tower if you're the third to TP, and I used to love the MASS TPs. this was one of the most needed changes to bring back aggressive strats into dota like fastpush/gank strats. I love the change for this. Some of the changes icefrog made were weird at the first glance and ppl dont like all of them but I think the guy really understands how dota works in the deepest. And if he doesnt then he is allways willing to take advice. The dagger nerf also was controversial but very needed to increase the variety of viable picks and strategies. Same as the backdoor nerf. many tournaments and inhouse leagues forbid backdooring but with the mechanics he implemented its now much harder to pull off so you dont need that external rule anymore. Or how he brought back hardcarries into competetive play with the phaseboots nerf, the new manta, the better vanguard. He just knows how the game works at a given time and never failed to adjust the right thing to let the players evolve the game and digging deeper into it. | ||

Favourite part was buying aegis but, you could get doom/buy aegis and instantly solo enemy team as certain heroes. | ||

Electric Rave = Extreme atk speed at the cost of mana per second Barrier = Put a shield that absorbs magic dmg Overload = Mini nuke/slow after a certain number of attacks Electric Grapple (ult) = Long distance blink + drag heroes with you | ||

You could read the opposite team's chat, write to them under the chosen player's name, it was genius and SOOOOO much fun in pubs. Here's a good article btw about old imba heroes : http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=96299 | ||

Medusa also didn't have % dmg reduction on split arrows(or so I believe). I loved that too bad it was stupidly overpowerd. | ||

Before she got the stone thing ulti she was pretty underpowered I remember. She did get dmg reduction on her arrows and she was almost never played iirc. | ||

There was a previous version where she was much stronger. I think it was around the time of the buyable Aegis, involving Divine Rapier builds. I'm pretty sure Split Shot gave 100% damage, but I'm not sure what else changed. She was very, very good. My earliest memories are from the Riki with the Death ward and Pudge with the flies. Riki has been discussed, but Pudge was also a completelly diferent hero. You could gather corpses and rise them as summons IIRC, and his ultimate would summon flies that had like 95% evasion and would auto-replicate while attacking. It was very annoying as a hero with no aoe. I don't remember those versions that well though, used to just play cassually in Battle.net like any other custom game. | ||

soloing against col.Fear in a scrim back in cal season 2 and getting absolutely crushed. Learning to play silencer against solo lich with no tangoes back then. Playing against col.Throzz and clan ATC (Throzz's casual clan) every single night as we prepared for cal-o playoffs. Reaching Ro8 in playoffs, then getting raped solo mid silencer vs visage against KD.Mystyle. Disbanding the team right after, quitting dota for a while. haha | ||
