Complimentary brofist because the video uses Deadly Premonition's Life is Beautiful track and it brought tears to my eyes.

The funny thing is that a lot of people took it a bit too seriously and the kobold last hitting challenge is a real thing now...

Nice patch.

  • Melee lane creep bounty reduced from 43 to 40 (-7%)
  • Range lane creep bounty reduced from 48 to 45 (-6.25%)
  • Hero kills (the non-net worth portions) are worth 10% more


This and lesser bounties for jungle/ancient creeps are the best changes for me, should have been even bigger bounty for kills and less for creeps. I always hated the fact if you rotate and doesnt get at least two kills, you lose a sizable chunk of xp and gold, while asswipe mcdouche that kept hitting creeps like there's no tomorrow is already a level or two above you when you come back to your lane.

Might even give it a whirl when the patch lands.

Troll didn't receive the expected nerfs. He's still über strong.
  • The following heroes are no longer restricted from buying Basher/Abyssal (but they are still restricted from activating Bash): Spirit Breaker, Faceless Void, Slardar and Troll :troll:

You can have a 6 slotted Tiny, Jugger, etc. without using the Aghs slot if the alchemist uses it on you? Seriously?

Stacking centrys+wards (at last). New BOTs, and new Boots that cost 5200.
Also
Radiance Burn now causes affected enemies to have a 17% miss rate

A much needed buff to a very rarely used item? Also reminiscent of the Dota1 radiance giving some evasion, 8% or so was the number I remember.

Overall very nice patch, some luxury support items that wont ever matter, some borderline useless new items and some balance.

Its a specific item for ilussion heroes, sometimes used in tanky heroes. Adding evasion makes it OP imo. Spectre, naga, terror illusions with free evasion? hmmm

Its not evasion its a miss chance, different things. And illusion heroes are out of meta.

The item also doesnt have to be bound to illusion heroes and buffing it is a way of ensuring that.

I look forward to the many many shit players 'farming' ancients with heartstopper aura now.

And yeah, alch aghs is crazy. Potential to see a lot of the otherwise unused aghs now, whether because of lack of space (nobody is going to try and fit aghs on a sven, but christ that ulti...) or difficulty to farm. Hell, forget the ability to circumvent 6 slotting, consider the pooling factor. How early can you now attain an aghs-refresher on heroes like warlock (Or Zeus... jesus christ super early refresher aghs zeus ultis... this has abusive potential.)? Or christ, Enchantress. Super early aghs enchantress with maxxed untouchable and 4k extra gold to spend on mana regen and attack speed. Yeah that doesn't sound broken at all. This is getting rolled back, calling it now.

Also, how does sacrificing the aghs (or the new speed item) interact with net worth? Does the buff count as net worth? Does the +60 speed buff count as the net worth of the 120 speed item?

They broke Stampede again, holy shit.

I like the new item made with Lothar's and Sange. Time to play carry Silencer.

Meh it doesnt last that long and needs Aghs anyway. Seems as balanced as crimson guard.

I dunno, man. It seems crazy good to counter-initiate/bait big spells with now.

Time to cook up some immortal team strats with WK/Centaur.

Edit: Oh yeah, support Riki even more legit now.

HOLY FUCKING SHTI
