Naga back (Radiance buffed even further), Morphling back (Wave Shotgun), Enigma, Leshrac, Lycan buffs. Huge buff to Blink carriers like TA, Magnus, SK.

edit: DS buff :D Pushing still is good, but Necrobook is just a LITTLE less ridiculous.

5x necrobook was just ass to play against

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.

If Phoenix is released too that would make me happy to sad.

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.

oh shit morphling, time to boost my kill stats gem lol

Phoenix to battle TB, or pitlord?
|
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?
|
Or matt being part of the "Joindota announcement"
whatever that'll be.

i never worked out how to play pheonix properly, if its put into dota 2 im ready to see more feeding than when LC was added
|
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.

Could also be the map editor, or nothing at all

You now lose one gold per second if you haven't picked a hero after the selection timer runs out in All Pick
