I don't really know what to think of the gyro change. The Gyrocopter change is kind of a nerf I think. The point of the larger slow on the first Call Down missile is to make sure that the enemies hit by it are still in range for the second missile to deal damage. I guess icefrog is trying to make the second missile a little better, but made it harder to land.

What hero got hit hardest by this patch do you think?
Gr8 b8, m8. I rel8, str8 appreci8, and congratul8. I r8 this b8 an 8/8. Plz no h8, I'm str8 ir8. Cr8 more, can't w8. We should convers8, I won't ber8, my number is 8888888, ask for N8. No calls l8 or out of st8. If on a d8, ask K8 to loc8. Even with a full pl8, I always have time to communic8 so don't hesit8.

Is 25% less damage THAT much of a difference?
There's no earthy way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining, is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly Reaper mowing?! YES! The danger must be growing! For the rowers keep on rowing! And there's certainly not showing ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!

Hit that Rep button, you know you want to.

It's not like you can't teamfight anymore, I see a drums-Diffusal build coming in.

We'll see about that, it's not like there were some huge nerfs in this patch. Though wait... there was. Sniper is now even worse lol.

Why would the change to Shrapnel be a big change to him? It's not like you used the skill more than once a minute anyway. The change to make it not damage building is not like it makes a huge difference since Sniper's damage to building comes from his rightclicks anyway.

TBH I think having 3 charges to get a big field of highground vision is much better.

Currently the only reason why Sniper is picked up in competitive play is because of Shrapnel because you could safely damage their tower without you having to be there to push. You could go off and gank a lane while Shrapnel is damaging the enemies tower, pushing the lane, and zoning out their carry. Now if you want to have any chance to take towers early you are forced to stay in lane.

Um... kind of, but not really. Sniper's damage is miniscule in the early game. Until you get some items online like Desolator, and max out Take Aim, you're pushing ability is slim to none without Shrapnel.

This is true, the high ground vision will be nice.
