6.85 Interpretation

6.84 I played Oracle, because I could at least disarm and help burst people. Now there is not a single reason left to play Oracle over literally any other hero in the game. Dazzle does everything Oracle does better already.

Bat is still super ****. The Aghs upgrade does not fix any of his problems at all. Farms super slow, can't jungle starting level one anymore, his offlane is still bad, cause the flamebreak change didn't help it at all.

Bat never jungled at level 1 anyway. He needed at least level 2, preferably 3.

The thing the ag's does is whilst his early to mid game is still ****, it makes his late game crazy. On a hero who was already crazy in the late game.

Hopefully the Eul's nerf does a little bit to help him as well because the item makes him useless

I agree with the Riki comment, with the buff to him and diffusal, it seems we will see more of him. A lot more.

I am confused about the tiny comment. His base increased from 24 to 26, and 14 to 17 int. How is that making him "the new meta"?

It also looks like spell immunity is stronger now, not something that anyone else mentioned.

Overall I am pleased with the patch. I don't like to see MAJOR changes as I still want a balanced game. Their changes seem fairly appropriate. I am glad that TB got a buff, would be nice to see him around as I think I have seen him once or twice in the last few months.

Would have voted better just for Invoker, but rest is good as well. Nice , precise buffs/nerfs

He could and he did before the damage nerf to firefly. What you fail to understand here is that Bat shouldn't be a win more hero, he should be the I can ein the game for you provided I have the tools to do so. Right now, if Bat makes it into the meta, Venge will do as well.

Sprint now provides phased movement


Sorry for my noobishness, but what is phased movement ? Is that like Weaver's Shukuchi ?

Firefly didn't have enough damage to jungle efficiently at level 1. He could deal 390 damage to one unit with Firefly level 1, which means he couldn't kill Centaurs, Wolves, Mud Golemns (Obviously), you could kill small Satyr's, but not big or medium ones, you couldn't kill Ogre's either.

You could just about kill any small camp, and you sure as hell couldn't kill any large camps. And when it costs you practically a third of your mana pool to do, that really affects you.

In effect, it really didn't happen that often unless you had no choice. Even if you'd just soak level 2 in the offlane, it made a world of difference.

And bat has more fundamental issues than being win-moar; The fact he just seemingly sucks at his job now.

Phased movement is the ability to move through over units, so it's similar to Shukuchi and Phase Boots.

Edit: @michimochi get ninja'd! >8{D

Phase lets you go through things. So yes just like Shukuchi
