They didn't touch my sweet Outworld Devourer yet :3

Hate on treant :( Leave the poor guy alone will ya.

Pretty big nerf on Treant Protector, it was so fun to dive under tower on 1 lvl.

Trees stronk.Need some less branches.Now for real, the buff was on merit.

Good changes, not overcooked - tree is still very strong, just not quite so OP.

Rage nerf looks like it might make lifestealer less picked with all he nerfs going his way.

Aww, why would you nerf Alchemist

Cus alch is a more common meta pick and the bonus health is crazy good once he gets items like an AC to make him more tanky. At 16, he has a base 1176 hp (without stats)Now lets say he has a BKB and Heart for only STR/HP. Thats 300hp +50*19 whoch is 950+300 and thats an extra 1250 hp. With the extra armor, lets say its 20 which is about 55% physical resistance. In ulti he has almost 3k hp. Its pretty op even with his low STR gain. The 900 hp is about 48STR for get the about of HP. Plus like manta, he can disjoint projectiles like hellfire blast or witch doctors stun.

Today I saw Sylar run up onto the ridge, and attack the enemy barracks. They were all there, throwing spells on him, and he just shrugged it all off, enjoying his time tanking everything while chipping away at the barracks at a alarming rate.

He gets picked a lot, so a nerf was expected.
