A lot of irrelevant stuff and predictable nerfs to meta heroes. What stands out for me is that Lion gained 300 burst damage, giving him the best instant burst potential in the game. Ethereal Blade after blink -> shotgun Lion OP.

No nerf to halberd, despite the item being abused to death in TI. SeemsGood.

I really hoped for some nerfs to Alchemist, but he wasn't touched at all.

Hope to see more Lion and Shadow Demon, I kinda stopped playing Lion myself because he really felt left behind by other supports such as Shadow Shaman.

Alch was never up for nerfs, if anything, he's up for buffs though I really ****in' hope he gets left in the dumpster to rot.

Other than that, the only really noticeable buff there was the buff to Earth Spike. The nerfs to other heroes - especially Necrophos - were far more significant.

Necro nerf is pretty small. Aghanim's Scepter still reduces the cooldown down to 25 seconds. It just means you should rush aghs.

Wraith King buff is actually pretty significant IMO. Level 2 ult really sucked. Now it's decent. Besides +15 MS is nothing to laugh at.

Rushing Aghs mean you skip all the other very important items in Necro's kit, such as Atos and Veil. Rushing Aghs is an incredibly dumb item choice, because there are a lot of other items that will be more impactful.

Blink Dagger for positioning for all his short range skills, and aghs for his ult. I've played Necro a LOT, and that's all the items he needs. Everything else is luxury.

YES! my boy lion is back.
Shadow demon is buffed (again) still, underrated af.
Buffs on winter wyvern are unnecessary cause she was a strong situational already but these buffs surely make my sister happy.

good update 8/10
