SUPPORT SLARK BOYS
Added Scepter to Slark. Reduces ultimate cooldown from 60 to 30 and causes Shadow Dance active to be a 325 AoE, hiding allied heroes underneath it.

 

[Spirited]

Some of the changes I'm reading here sound good, others sound bad. One thing's for sure though, I haven't played DOTA in a while and this patch is going to make me reinstall it and try it out.

We're on the same page here.

ALSO GUYS THEY ADDED THE DUMB POCKET RIKI SUGGESTION SHITPOST FROM /R/DOTA2 BUT IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T SOUND RETARDED, THANKS MR LIZARD

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Hoooooly shit +200 movespeed during Shukuchi for Weaver. Granted, its on 25 - but still. Even less reason for me to ever buy boots on him, whoo!

Literally a Mirage tank from Red Alert 3.

Spoiler

Only better

 

[Glass Shark]

No?

With the new HUD layout a 21:9 gives you a wider view of the action, right? That's an inherent advantage.

 

[Spirited]

60+min pro games will from now on be like watching IMBA dota.

 

[Acinixys]

Some of these item changes are pretty big

Also clarity and salve only being dispelled by heros and rosh is fucking HUGE for supports and junglers. like seriously what

Also support CK is coming

 

[Randdalf]

Okay I now get the point of the talent trees: they effectively are a replacement for levelling stats. It also folds weird hero-specific things like Invoker's level 25 AOE blast into it nicely.

 

[Drkirby]

Lich able to get +150 damage at level 20 has to be a typo, right?

 

[JoeInky]

So can engima have 22 eidolons at lv25 or is does it mean 8 extra when they've split?

 

[Skab]

Maybe. But "piratically required?" No.

 

[Twookie]

nope LUL

 

[Monochromaticx]

where is the jug arcana ?

 

[terencecah]

Is there a follow camera like in hots and lol? It's the only way I can really play mobas

 

[vehn]

ayone know how to activate a shrine?

 

[lucebuce12]

Carry Lich now an actual thing.

If you map the centre camera command on something like the space bar and hold it you can have a pseudo follow camera. That's what I do, at least.

 

[Acinixys]

Lycans lvl 25 is +2 wolves summoned

Hello 4 wolves + necros push lycan

Seems insanely strong

This shit clearly wasnt tested at all. I can see massive buffs and nerfs across the board in the next few weeks/months

 

[Armaros]

Okay I now get the point of the talent trees: they effectively are a replacement for levelling stats. It also folds weird hero-specific things like Invoker's level 25 AOE blast into it nicely.

And let's them give bonuses to heroes that normally don't get much out of the bonus stats. So they really didn't care about levels after 16. Now they might .

 

[yagal]

ILLU now gives XP and Gold....HAHAHAHAHA SD

 

[Twookie]

new sniper aghs is some dota imba shit

 

[M.D]

+150 Gold/Min

Am I reading all these types of talents right? You now get 150 Gold every minute instead of the base amount?

-50s Respawn Time

So at level 25 you can spawn super fast?

 

[manfestival]

king ragnar would not approve of this nonsense in a patch

 

[lucebuce12]

+150 Gold/Min

150 Gold/min on TOP of the amount you were already getting.

And yes, your respawn time is reduced by 50 seconds.

 

[Zackat]

wait talents are real?




HotS changed the game.

 

[GregLombardi]

the top level skills seem quite strong for certain heroes.

 

[Aegus]

Oh shit. In the comic there's another Spirit Brother! Water Spirit incoming!

Edit: What element is purple associated with? Dark?!?

 

[Haly]

the top level skills seem quite strong for certain heroes.

Realistically, the vast majority of games don't go to level 25, so they backloaded all the talent powers there and really put in some silly stuff knowing players will rarely choose heroes for their 25 talents.

 

[M.D]

150 Gold/min on TOP of the amount you were already getting.

And yes, your respawn time is reduced by 50 seconds.

All of this sounds crazy tbh
It will all get figured out down the road but for now it all sounds mind blowing. Like, some heroes can get 15-20% evasion as a talent now. That alone changes so much in terms of what heroes you'd want to draft or how'd you want to itemize.

Or stuns that can suddenly go through BKB, another potentially game changing talent.

Kiev Major is going to be crazyyyyyyyyy

They are laughing at everyone at this point, and I'm perfectly fine with that sense of humour at something so absurd

 

[Haly]

I feel really bad for OG though. They're looking so good and now they have to relearn the game all over again. It's all up in the air as far as the comp scene goes.

 

[harSon]

Multishot sacred arrows?!

 

[Metroid]

So, no more strenght, agility, intelligence? Or do I miss something?

 

[Fou-Lu]

So, no more strenght, agility, intelligence? Or do I miss something?

Just no more attribute bonus as a level up option.

Strength, agility and intelligence are still there.

 

[Twookie]

So, no more strenght, agility, intelligence? Or do I miss something?

you still have attributes, press alt to see them

they've made things hidden so that the UI looks more clean

Multishot sacred arrows?!

looks as weird as it sounds

 

[Acinixys]

Multishot sacred arrows?!

Does it shoot 2

Do you get 2 with charges like embers remnants?

Some of this stuff isnt explained very well

 

[Twookie]

it shoots 3 at the same time

I agree, some thing are very vague

 

[kiguel182]

I bought the winter pass and barely played the game, I guess this is the time for me to return to Dota.

I wish the performance on my computer was better.

 

[Drkirby]

Sand king can get +50 HP Regen level 25, what the hell.

 

[Querilous]

Techies and Veno have a talent that reduces their respawn time to a base of 40 seconds at max level.
A freshly-bought bloodstone reduces your respawn time by 36 seconds. Uh.

I love all the stupid, stupid theorycrafting I can do with these talents. It's great.

 

[Armaros]

So, no more strenght, agility, intelligence? Or do I miss something?

No more BONUS attributes for leveling beyond 16. Talents take its place and are spread through all the levels.

 

[shira]

TI7 Secret Shop preview

 

[lucebuce12]

I know that people are going to hate these changes at first (naturally) but I'm REALLY liking the direction they've taken.

These gameplay changes don't take away from the complexity and still keeps things fresh.

Definitely gonna jump back into the game now.

 

[M.D]

Level 25: -4s Lucent Beam Cooldown OR +15 All Stats

HARD CHOICE GUYS

 

[Monochromaticx]

great. here i always thought that creeps were mindless nobodies..but turns out they are parents and children with emotions and shit. how am i gonna deny creeps now?
this is westworld type shit

 

[Pantaghana]

Pocket Riki...

Whatever IceFrog and Valve are drinking, I want some.

 

[Querilous]

Level 25: -4s Lucent Beam Cooldown OR +15 All Stats

HARD CHOICE GUYS

It might be harder than you'd think. Lucent Beam's windup is pretty harsh. I actually think a carry Luna might seriously consider the stat bonus, spending so much time NOT autoattacking might be a problem.

 

[Holundrian]

Level 25: -4s Lucent Beam Cooldown OR +15 All Stats

HARD CHOICE GUYS

I know the kneejerk is fun but actually someone do the math on +15 agi and how it affects moon glaives. Lucent beam in lategame has a not that great casting point, that probably overall lowers your dps. It's great for chasing down stuff though.

Edit: darn beaten xD
