Meepo Buff(now changing boots in the inventory has never been cooler)

Being able to change position of the boots is nowhere near close enough of a buff to make up for the xp/gold change thing. Meepo is usually farmed and highlevel so dying will be a lot more costly now and that is a big nerf.

Meepo definitely got nerfed this patch


Poor Meepo. I'm afraid of playing him when the patch comes live...

You're saying if you have zero chance of taking magic damage you should still go bkb?


You didn't include stuns, slows or silences. So: yes. And I dunno about you, but I can't think of many 5 hero lineups without any form of magic involved that can't be avoided with bkb.

I'm talking about an entirely unrealistic situation where someone has godlike reflexces, decision making and micro

If you're talking abou what a human can achieve were on different pages

(I obviously meant slows etc. Too, I'm typinh on my phone I'd rather not write more than I have to)

If your a short ranged to melee carry like PA, Sven or Gyro and you need to actually get in close in order to maximize your damage, the amount of CC BKB avoids is as crucial of a factor as negating magic damage (even accounting the number of spells BKB goes through)

your job is to deal as much possible damage you can over a small course of time and BKB is still the the best possible item at giving you the liberty to do just that.

Oh obviously bkb avoids it all but the whole point of this is that you get another item slot

Dota Treant with aghs now = Hon Treant?


If they gave him Prophet's trees it would be HoN Treant

Overall the patch is nice. I like how they addressed the "Lycan Problem" and all the other changes are also welcome. I especially like the idea of tying BKB duration/cooldown to the player rather than an item. I only wonder if this will make buying new BKB a useless feature now...

Jugg spinning inside of chrono or black hole might upset some people.

No my point is that even acknowledging the fact that BKB stat-wise is mediocre, you would be doing more damage anyway because of it's active.

Have you ever seen a game where someone that has a justifiable reason to purchase a divine rapier swap that shit with their BKB?

I am satisfied that IF addressed some issues not just in hero basis but in current Dota meta and change some fundamental things to make other heroes viable.

How the hell is this even an appropriate example of perfection? Are you fucking saying that a player closer to reaching a level of perfection is a player that is less likely to build a BKB? ROFL

Exactly, but its a fucking dumb idea cos most the time a human cannot pull it off

Okay ask yourself this. If someone made a super powered BOT that has the perfect mechanics in last hitting, denying, evading spells and whatever. Would it still be ideal for this bot to have a BKB?

Targe pls, there are situations where even the best players with godlike reflexes and decision making will need a bkb because they simply can't avoid the spells. The only alternative is to not fight, or to only fight when you can get away with it, but then you're going to lose.
