Uhmm i'm not really into "fuck illusion heroes" camp since nerfed naga carry and AM needed good enough player and lineup to actually make it work.

Alchemist was indeed an ass but TB's 5 second sunder is still one of the most broken thing i've seen in dota. Like that's even not considering TB's reflection being more broken than DS ultimate lol

TB fits on any lineup and is quite good in all stages of the game. Getting 25 isn't even an issue to that hero considering how much it farms.

na

but I might actually watch a progame if they figure out how to get exp and stay more relevant since it's like the worst hero when you are losing
still good as a ganking hero so might see some play and then hopefully icefrog sees the schizophrenic nature of said hero and changes shit

Good buffs on Malestrom

Force/Pike got a decent nerf tbh, also hotm giving away 200g is pretty big

Wand keeps getting better overall, now 20 charges

That Specter haunt buff seems pretty good

Earthshaker: Base damage increased by 3
Death Prophet: Base Health regen reduced from 2 to 1.5


Seriously some heroes get changes just because why not

Io: Tether can now target Spell Immune allies

FINALLY

Io: Level 10 Talent changed from +400 Spirits Max Range to +25% XP
Io: Level 25 Talent changed from Tether Stuns to -60s Relocate Cooldown


lol, i sense io rushing midas to maybe be a thing, that lvl25 talent is gross

I bet Artifact only has 2 lanes. So IceFrog is removing the offlane step by step from dota2.

I have seen lvl 3 supports pulling off ganks past ten minutes. You gotta nerf that somehow and scaling the shards duration is worth a shot.

Make it so you can't fully sacrifice levels on supports. Idk if that makes sense on the whole.

That pretty much means more sitting behind your carry since there's no exp anywhere else.
Which is like rolling back the last 4 years of support play.

Also a huge nerf to force staff, glimmer glimmer motherheckers meta is back.
Pudge also looks pretty dead at this point good thing I can never play again or I'd be very sad.

Heaven's Halberd does something beyond be a money sink to disarm a hero. Now they just need to add some form of particle effect so we can tell when maim procs.

The super interesting meta where mid fill the role of modern supports and supports were just baby sitters? Yeah, that meta was some hot dog poop.
