pudge hook now starts at 1000 range ....


AWWWWYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Comments:

Map: Yay! Winter! No Winter Wyvern!?

Max Attack Speed Increase: Yay for Windranger, she deserves more play.

Alchemist: Yay, let him actually use his passive in games.
Beastmaster Call of the wild finally makes sense.
Chaos Knight: OH MY ****ING GOD......
Drow Ranger: Manta is buyable on her again.
Elder Titan: More nerf to his skills to make up for the utter riggedness of Natural Order
Enchantress: Been practicing her running.
Faceless Void: End of Death Ward combos.
Gyrocopter: Now we can use the Force to actually blow up the Death Star.
Io : Now balling without a face.
Kunkka: One point for X works now. Kunkka can now do stuff with less levels!
Lifestealer: That's pretty cool. Maybe he'll have possible uses now other than just get kited to death.
Lone Druid: Poor guy keeps getting nerf, wait no, he's even stronger now late. Acceptable then.

Night Stalker: Another huge change to his character. I dunno how well people will adapt.
Ogre Magi: He deserves it.
Pudge: Support Pudge, new meta?
Rubick: Is now Invoker quick, but a lot kinder.
Slardar: Can finally put Amp on a decent number of people.
Techies: Joining the Meta, because of turtle-land.
Undying: That's nice and all, but can we fix Decay having a ton of icons?


Diffusal Blade: Look out, PL's are gonna get Skadi's now.
Helm of the Dominator: My 1000 hp Ghost is better than your boar Beastmaster.
Medallion of Courage: This is the best idea ever. Actually fits Courage now.

My friend's gonna be so mad at the ES nerf XD.



I'm happy with the changes in general. Support full-strength Morphling pls (4.25 second stun pls). Also, twitchy Rubick with his 2 second spell steal cooldown.

Juggernaut base agility increase could make him huge early - magic immunity with Blade Fury combined with the armour boost from the extra 6 agility could lead to an early game monster.

Why Earth Spirit? Hasn't he been nerfed enough already!! -.-

Agreed. Plus, it improves juggy's ****py base damage for moar last hits :D.

ALL ABOARD THE SHIFTING SNOW HYPE TRAIN!!!!

QoP changes I'm unsure of... Sonic Wave always should've been Pure and from what I can tell the damage reduction makes no difference due to hero immunity to magic damage - the mana cost is still far too high for such an underwhelming ultimate though but you don't want to make too many changes all at once I guess.

The Blink change seems wrong though, increased cooldown at early levels in exchange for increased range at all levels. I think it should be the other way, a lower distance with a lower cooldown so she can blink in, unleash her burst, then blink out. At 5 seconds she's dead to FF or burst before she can get away, 2 seconds at level 4 would allow more survivability for a hero that is reliant on positioning to survive but needs to get into the thick of it to unleash her spammable burst damage ( Scream of Pain).

Push meta gained back some ground in this update.


AND Y'ALL FORGOT ONE THING.
ILLUSIONS DEAL 25% LESS DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES.
MY TERRORBLADE IS CRYING LIKE HELL. HOWL AT THE MOON YOU MARAUDER ; (

In another note, my hands itch to go back to bristle, ck and drow.


I saw the first point of diffusal blade and thought to myself, damn the antimage with 89 mana leak.

Offlane pusher sniper(those with early shrapnel emphasis) lost his tower push but got himself a sick ability now.

Be honest.

The illusion nerf was needed.

Besides they keep buffing his cast point so I'm content with that.
