6.87 Discussion Thread

oooooh my god that was funny as hell. The 15 mana triple kill. Anyway gotta go try this new fangled FV SnY build. Id never thought Id see the day. Would the whole thing be:

Ring of Aquila >> Sange and Yasha >> Echo Sabre >> Aghanim's Scepter? BKB would go where?

Situational i guess, in case of stun or silences, but you can buy linkens for stuns and lotus for silences too, its optinal as linkens and lotus have more synergy with him as void likes to stay more in the fight.

In late you could go skadi, Critic or buttlerfly

You know that Dragon Lance is good when people start stacking them on Meepo.

Too bad Ogre Club doesn't build into anything useful apart for mb Aghs for Luna and I never liked Aghs on her.

BKB?

I have seen echo saber sniper hoping to *proc* the double attack. In Denial the whole game.

And what'd be the point in getting Lance in the first place if you disassemble it 4 mins later?

If you want to benefit from +15 str+agi and range for only 1.9k gold you'd have to keep Lance intact.

The only game I've played so far I went mom into blink then lance->skadi and only then I disassembled it into yasha and aghs. I didn't really get to fight that game though so I don't know how it is in an actual fight.

I think I'll skip stick on hero completely from now on and get BoTs right after BKB just to keep lance in inventory for as long as possible.

6.87b:
Sacrifice Cooldown increased from 44/36/28/20 to 60/50/40/30
Sacrifice Mana restore increased from 25/40/55/70% to 30/50/70/90%
Blade Mail cooldown increased from 13 to 18
Jinada slow reduced from 25/27/29/31% to 18/22/26/30%
Armlet's armor bonus is now granted after it is fully activated

Poor Lich.

It's obviously deserved because now he takes away nearly half of a waves expierence with Sacrifice on the ranged creep. But still.

I also wish Icefrog would wait a little longer before putting b patches in, andsubsequent ones. I'd rather wait a month and get a major b patch than something far too early for anything about the meta to have settled.

So that safelane carries' life would be miserable(as if it wasn't already) for another month? Frequent minor changes are definitely for the good.

Frequent Minor changes are also how we got OD being too good last patch, because he kept buffing Orb till it was too good because people perceived it as bad without the time to actually test it.

EDIT; I am fine with balance patches occuring within patches. It's just if we get as many is as short a time frame as we did last patch, I worry they'll only **** stuff up compared to taking a little more time on them.

I kind of feel like the issue with getting a casual Dragon Lance to disassemble later is the Band of Elvenskin duo, not the Ogre Club.

That being said, Hurricane Pike is such a pretty damn good item so... don't know why you're disassembling a DL in the first place, tbh.
