New Gameplay Update

IKR

Alright, so after some cool down and consideration, what do we have?

From all the meta heroes only OD was balanced.
Luna is still unplayable because Slark will be in every game, I think you can actually go Silver into SnY on him now with all the buffs to these items.
Kunkka is doubtfully playable because Invoker is still ********, Omni wasn't nerfed and probably there will be a lot more of TA with this new stone thingy. And Abyssal if dog**** on him now.
Brew is good I guess.
WK is very good if I understood his crit change correctly.
Pugna is fine too I think, though weaker.
Arc Warden is literally unplayable, why did I even write a guide for him xDDDDD I don't even know what to do with it anymore, like, erase all the stuff I have written and just put big red "DO NOT PICK THIS HERO HE IS DEAD" disclaimer?

Right now I'm really not sure if I want to play this game anymore. This seems like the worst patch I have ever witnessed. Gg reddit balancing or whoever's genuis came up with those changes.

Added all the new items to the database, have fun tagging them! :)

Bloodthorn!

Metas so far
Drow Ranger and Silencer rushing Hurrican pike anyone ?
Blade Mail now stacks with armor too ?
CANCER LANCER TIME ?Bots Difussal Basher Vanguard Echo Sabre IS his build ?
Void is now a viable carry chrono independent ? SnY blink and Echo Sabre are the way to go ?

I cry. So hard.

You lot really are better than Reddit.
You wanna hear what they say? No you don't. You shouldn't. Haven't slept in 93 hours and I am gonna take a nice long nap before the horde hits you.

Just a small spoiler, you will see attributes added to strength gain in a few patches, much like how agi and int have 2 possible. Also, people should realize that if int was to be buffed you really need to nerf mana regeneration on items that don't have the objective of providing mana regeneration, but utility.

Y'all should have seen the abyssal change coming, considering basher changes in last few patches.

Scan is not wierd. It is my miniscule attempt at bringing coordinated plays in pub, especially when you really need that turnaround late game fight.

Game will push for utility with damage options limited but specialized. It's now about who nails the laning stage, getting the most exp/gold tradeoff out of it. Offlaners will do well even if they start denying now. But no one can win unless they kill enemies. Farm to win and rat buildings is not gonna happen.

Now where was I with all magic damage affecting buildings? I need to atleast experiment with that sheet.

This is literally the worst timing I've ever seen for a patch.

I have a 3000 word essay due Thursday night.

I recently lost all my progress on it due to a hard drive failure.

And you're giving me ANOTHER reason to procrastinate?!!



Yet you buffed Naga, Tb and Morphling?

Because they will use the boon I gave them in team fights!

You can't just be doing yohoho I went jungling and came out with a solid lead on gold. Or hey I went radiance! Autowin!

This meta is gank skirmish meta that goes totally bamboozled levels of crazy if it ever goes really late. It is a viewers delight, this meta. I kid you not.TI is gonna be a cracker.

Pm me your essay. I can help add stuff and proofread it.

More Reactions From Me:

Honestly FrozenAmphibian WTF Are You Doing

• Slark - My main, my babe, my favorite hero, now broken as hell. I am so scared. I don;t want the nerf hammer coming down on him. Abuse Echo Sabre Slark while you can kids.
• Aghanim's Scepter - What are these? They seems pretty pointless to me... Mirana now pays 4k gold to... farm better? I think 1 starstorm is just fine. Dunkshaker is now a thing. What is the point of Gyro's? Ultimate kiting? Permaslow with Skadi? idek. Oracle Machine gun. Not sure the Benefit here.
• Arc Warden - Well this guy is not going to be seeign the light of day this patch. RIP.
• Phantom Assassin. (Still) complete garbage. I'm still going to use her because my motto is f*ck silver edge.
  

Still Too Strong:

• Invoker - Dear god Icefrog get rid of this cottonheaded ninnymuggins. I honestly never wanna see this guy above 10th in popularity ever again. Too much utility, damage, everything.
• Legion Commander - Seriously? No nerfs? And you BUFFED Blade Mail? Cancer Commander confirmed.
• Phantom Lancer - You just gave this kid everything he wanted, especially witht hat Abyssal rework. As if he wasnt annyoing already
