Aghs Chen was already pretty good for that 30s cooldown. And the big ancients have 2k+ hp after holy persuasion, are magic immune and can be healed to full hp every 30s by the chen, they will also be affected by auras you have, like the vlads, mek, later AC and other stuff. These will be way harder to deal with than a normal ancient camp, I'm not sure how you're getting rid of these guys hitting your tier 3 towers. I like the change a lot, Chen can farm very quickly in the jungle, so getting the aghs is not a gigantic problem. Also, people will be looking for heroes to build a mek on, because razor, viper, doom and other cores that used to build it really don't like the increased mana pools. And Chen is like the perfect problem to build a mek on.

I fell asleep half way reading the patchnote because life is too hard so i am reading the rest of it during work because why not, so far the most significant changes that I have seen are:

1.Spirit Bear now has 300 mana. 2xmidas into 2xdagon5. if the fcking bear can use eblade i am pretty sure 2xeblade is realistic.
2.insane orge buff
3.Mag+Sven meta is back
4.PL looks like getting a giant buff on paper and becomes a true 'battle pl' in early game, will see how it works out in real game.
5.rofl what is this phoenix agha lollol
6.giant buff on puck, too bad dendi doesnt have puppey no more
7.that giant riki buff...as if trench tier pubs were not bad enough lol

editing, will add more when i get more time to finish reading the patch
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'

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

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.


The point is that you're decision making etc is so good u can do what u just said without bkb -_-

U guys aren't getting it

Thats because you are living in a world where the other team won't just wait for your ass to show up before throwing out all their stuns. Its so unrealistic that people can't even consider it.

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?

if it was truly perfect in that spells meant it could fight uninterrupted then yes

Can't wait to try out the new fighting Phantom Lancer.

Power treads straight into diffusal and begin the fighting?

I think Naga's come out of this well. No nerfs and all the early pushers get slammed with nerfs. Cheaper Manta and Butterfly buffs.

Targe, if you play Sven, the only place you are going is right into the center of that team. Unless they are potatoes, you are going to need something to stop them from kiting you all day. I get your point, but with heroes like Tiny, PA, and Sven, you need to avoid being stunned.

But yes, in the unrealistic world where Sven could dodge a VS stun while attacking her team, sure, you don't need a BKB. But that is impossible, so the argument is stupid.

also im not saying that no bkb dota is correct

moonmeander explained ur point about how bkb lets you deal more damage because you stay alive for longer on his stream a while ago koreeah and thats the logic i go by when i play dota

unless i deem enemy team retarded and unable to cast spells (which happens all too much and i end up just getting manta for the 1 silence or whatever they actually use on me)

Helm of Dominator Clinkz seems totally legit, too. You can now lifesteal with searing arrows and it let's bring a creep with you into a fight and it now even increases the creep's hp, so you have more damage and hp when you eat it!

i said at the beginning that for all games where youre playing an opponent of equal skill you should get bkb in these situations

He generates them more often by a lot and they all have charge with phase, so they will get more hits in. He is going to be a more active hero, but we will need to see him in action. Its impossible to tell with the changes being so fundamental.

I think PL is a mid hero now. Phantom Lance is a great harass skill and refilling bottle should be much easier this version. It seems like with a lot of levels in blink and lance, you can do a lot. Just blinking on a guy and lancing him does a ton of damage.

The new defensive ability for PL is cool too, will make for some great play moment where people try to figure out which one is the real one. Plus it removes the need for dust to kill him.
