I wonder why DP only got a nerf on Exorcism CD, and not a giant one at that. It's not like she really falls off.

The massive nerf to tower gold is an indirect nerf to her.


She depends on snowballing on towers more than any other hero in the game. If she's behind, she's useless.

So this patch kind of destroys her, tbh. Can't say I'm too upset.

Poison sting does small enough ticks to not disable salves even though it disables blinks. Just like orb of venom. Much like refraction interactions. Although its kinda silly cuz Ion Shell wrecks refraction but U can salve thru levels 1 and 2 I think.

Urn still shouldn't stop salves afaik since the ticks are too small (i could be wrong). Just like u can salve thru jugg spin level 1 unless he auto's u in it (even tho the auto does no dmg it cancels ur salve LOL)

Well yes but there was a pretty distinct subset of abilities that were hp removal.

Wave of terror for example was explicitly changed to HP removal because when it was originally released it was too good vs blinks and salves etc.

It's a small nightmare buff too I think.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wave and urn are changed to negative regen, like Heartstopper.

Urn MAYBE but i'd be shocked, i think it's an intentional blink disable change. Wave no way, its a single instance of dmg u can't just nerf it to be over time thats awful.

Someone tested it yesterday in IRC(I forget who) and said it didn't cancel it. It needs to do 20 damage and it only did 18.

w0w u simplified damage types and made them so much more intuitive by taking out HP removal and replacing it with negative regen over 0.0000001 seconds lol

Darn, maybe Icefrog will re-add the old 27 spell invoker next patch, Hopefully Void Demon too.

He isn't countered by true sight anymore, and since one of the illusions takes normal damage, even an aoe nuke won't help much, plus doesn't doppelganger only cost 50 mana?

The problem with urn is that it hard counters TA(eats refraction charges) and can proc cold snap. It's completely fucking broken for its cost.

yeah 50 mana but doppelganger is a weird ability.

The most oppressive thing is actually maxed phantom rush, heros like Sniper and drow simply cannot get away from PL, and once he has a diffu his damage spike is crazy

Because they are lazy and can't come up with anything better than a reductive, shitty argument?

I messed around in the test client, it disrupts him for a few seconds too, so it can be used to dodge spells, I think it's his strongest ability now :o

It's a 0 cast point phase shift/blink that purges debuffs. For 50 mana on a 10 second cooldown. It's AMAZING.

He's taken some really tough nerfs too, though. The Agi gain nerf hits really hard, and his illusions last only 8 seconds. Secondary illusions barely even exist. 4 second duration and only 8% chance. The dodge is good, but he's still just not going to be generating enough illusions to have noticeable damage.

I really think we're not going to be seeing much of him.
