I think broodmother should have gotten her spiderlings bounty reduced to make up for the fact she can't just walk away from people now.

Aside from that, really cool changes.

Hm, lots of rumors floating around tomorrow will have Phoenix.

That would be really, really surprising to me.

The GG Branch change actually makes total sense because the reworked starting gold from last patch meant melees couldn't start with regen + Stout + 3 Branches, so they basically came to lane with 1 less all stats than they used to for no reason.

50 gold branch means you can start 3 Branch again.

2 salves + stout + 3 branches:
230 + 250 + 150: 630
Obviously tango salve is more than 630.
They still can't go tango salve stout triple branch or am i missing something

i think this is a nice patch because pushing is still strong enough to be a valid strategy but this opens up the game a bit and allows more variation in drafting. I think we could see some new stuff, some old stuff and everything in between with this patch.

To be honest, I think (particularly the west) underutilized mondo-huge-mega-pushes.

Am I the only one who likes the branch change because it finally makes all of the items a multiple of 5 thus satisfying some sort of irrational desire of mine?

As mentioned, now that "603" isn't the starting gold, there is very little justification for branches costing 53 anymore so they don't haha.

I wonder if mek is 6g cheaper now as well.

E: 6.80 isn't up on playdota yet I wonder what changes there will be to unreleased heroes.

Also aren't both phoenix and pitlord likely to have changes in the patchnotes if they were to be released with this patch?

Pretty disappointed by the way they attempted to fix the counterpicking.

We'll see how it works in practice, but I'm pretty sure all this means is that it will now cost me 100g to make sure our team has a support.
