If icefrog doesn't swallow his pride and revert the rearm-blink change, I'll be seriously disappointed.

Beyond that, all tinker really needs is for march to be less obnoxious to push into. Maybe a buff to pipe vs. universal, or a change to composite so weave/warcry etc help.

i dunno its kinda hard to be upset with the state of game balance. dota2 is pretty clearly the best esport balance wise, and its pretty impressive considering the hero pool.

icefrog and co have been great at maintaining pub->pro balance, no reason to think they will abandon that now.

Amp just needs better cast range. Everything else kinda makes sense as is... but when compared to how OP track is, and how far away you can cast it from, amp just sucks.

I think a Chronosphere radius nerf would be more effective then say a CD nerf, since 10 or 20 sec nerf might not actually make a big difference.

Also, would like to see a Nightstalker buff somehow, this hero is too awful in the day to make up for his meh performance at night.

yeah ns got nerfed pretty hard indirectly when they changed the day night cycle
he doesnt have enough items to properly do something in the first night, and by the time the 2nd night comes he most likely hasnt made enough of an impact in the game

Icefraud does balance around pubs if he has to. Remember the only reason the space cow is nerfed is because of pub complaints and stats. Also I'm pretty sure Nyx nerfs were mostly dependent on pubs too.

Faceless Void --> Much longer Chrono-CD’s on lvl 1 and 2 to make his early teamfight viability lower. Chrono is often used for random solokills, imho thats a clear sign that its cooldown is too low.


Slardar --> Complete rework imho. (You can still play him, just pick Centaur and get Mom/Medaillon/Basher, nothing of value is lost, you even get SUPERSPRINT and an extra nuke + passive )
Imho Slardars main problem is, that he does shit dmg if there is no AD on a target… But if you actually gank someone you often have to Blink (or Sprint) --> Crush --> AD and then pray for a bash hit or you won’t do much if not someone else is throwing a second stun for you.

If no rework:
Sprint needs to give something more than just speed. How about keeping the general dmg penalty but giving him „stun“-resistance in exchange (like a Mom-BKB combo… You’ll get hurt bad but won’t get stunned… Or something like a linkens effect for 1-3 number of stuns)?

Crush is imho not bad. A bit low dmg on early levels but thats about it. This spell imho isn’t the issue at all (stomp on centaur is great, this is basically the same)

Bash is bash… Why not give his bash the Brewmaster treatment and make it guaranteed every 15 seconds or something like that.


Thinker --> I hate that guy.
Change March DMG type? Imho his ancient farming is way too easy and for a hero that only cares about a fast Bot/Blink this is a nice area to nerf him --> Somehow make ancients immune to March.
Rearm --> Should not reset the dmg-cd on Blinkdagger.


Kunkka --> I don’t know how and this is most likely very personal, but his power-curve seems strange (weak in the very early levels, strong midgame, then weak again until very late. Assuming your not snowballing )… It just feels kinda awkward when playing him.

Lina --> Obviously needs more range; for her stun .

Doom --> Gets money too easy. Change something about devour.

Well… Thats it for now

Pretty sure all of you giving SB as proof, as well as adding occasionally an additional incorect example are wrong.
Nyx was 1st pick 1st ban in pro games for some time, not that shocking he was slightly nerfed back then.

Dota isnt balanced on pubs, dispite the Spirit Breaker change whom every second poster in this thread sagely points out.

Icefrog does not primarily balance from pubs but he has made changes in the past to heroes that were too prevalent in them. The prime example I can think of is Ursa, which was nerfed despite never appearing in competitive games simply because pubs had no idea how to cope with him back in the day.

I hope to god they change Blink Dagger. I dislike how everyone hero is now geared towards Blink Dagger, hopefully Shadow Blade and Force Staff get buffed.

Buff Windrunner. Her Q and W seem so lackluster compared to many other skills in the game.

Nerf DP. She's my favorite hero, but she's just so insanely strong after lvl 11 now.

Nerf Void and Tinker. They are not fun to play with or against.

Nerf Blink Dagger. Seems like every game there are 4 or more blink daggers now. The team with more Blink Daggers usually wins. I like that it costs no mana to blink, but make it cost more, have a higher cooldown, higher deactive from getting hit, or a combination of the three.

I agree with blink. It is supposed to be harder to escape with it when get chased. Maybe 7-10 second deactivation & higher cooldown make it somewhat okish.

for blinkdagger, maybe make it so that the downtime stacks when you are hit by multiple instances of damage. like +1 second for every time you are hit in a timeframe of 5 seconds (max 1 stack per second).

didnt they buff his fury swipes in the same patch they nerfed overpower? but yeah ursa is a prime example of a hero who got nerfred / tweaked / changed because thousands of scrubs got eaten by the mighty bear.

I don't think Ursa tweaked because of scrubs. I believe his laning is far better now.

You know what change would help the game? Euls can now be cast on allies. It would 100% change void chrono. He would go from a hero that fucks people over on split push AND in huge team fights to just someone who kills heros one on one. Get a euls on a support, sit back. Have him jump in and just save whatever target he is going on.

i think void is too good of an item already, that would just make us have 10 euls every game (+ refresher for more euls).

Euls on allies would be too strong, too easy to save teammates with.
