Support NeoGAF

[Granadier]

Can't wait to miss observer ward transfer and put them in fountain.

Love the bottle change. I like healing, and it's going to be really useful for mana.

NOBODY HAS AN EXCUSE TO NOT GET GG BRANCHES.

It's CTRL + Click though.
I don't think you can place one if you use CTRL.

Edit: I just tested and yes, you can. Ugh. Maybe they will change that with 6.80

 

[Haly]

You now have 1000 movement speed and phase while you are in Chronosphere

LOL.

 

[BearPawB]

The arcana for Terror is coming feb 6th.. I hope that's not the update time!

they wouldn't phrase it that way if it was the case

 

[Booty Patrol]

Is there a site where I can read the 6.8 changes? For some reason the dota site is always in chinese for me.

They're below the terrorblade stuff

Thats likely when Round 2 of the Cosmetics come out.

Faceless Void: You now have 1000 movement speed and phase while you are in Chronosphere

wow...

Stop reading it in China.

Click show changelog.

 

[GregLombardi]

yeah that buff for faceless void is pretty huge IMO

 

[eznark]

So many awesome changes. Lots of supports got buffed too.

How bad is the Veno nerf in real terms?

 

[Kard8p3]

The arcana for Terror is coming feb 6th.. I hope that's not the update time!

What? Where does it say that? I'm on my phone, so i might have missed that.

Edit : I am blind, see it now.

Shame it comes so late.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's CTRL + Click though.
I don't think you can place one if you use CTRL.

Oh right, I hope that's true. Wouldn't make sense if it didn't.

I don't get why Wraith King got so fucked. Those buffs do nothing.

Focus Fire is still ass Icefrog, why would I use it?

 

[sixghost]

So is Dazzle and Terrorblade a good combo? Could you just grave Terrorblade then do the HP swap when you're at 1hp?

 

[Emerson]

Looking like a great patch. Hope we get another hero too. Can't imagine neither Phoenix nor this Sun Wukong character being involved.

 

[Raytow]

Oh right, I hope that's true. Wouldn't make sense if it didn't.

Works fine for towers, and mowing down enemy heroes(granted you might need a scepter for tanks)

 

[Quesa]

I thought the swap couldn't take the enemy below 25% HP?

 

[Demoli]

Love the ES nerfs, neuter his initiation while keeping the utility intact, you now also have to choose between kicking someon into your team or stun them.

Sylla buff was useless, the Orb was only applied to the hit that proced the root anyways, so you could always have other orbs with it.

 

[Borgnine]

Looks like it Meepo all day still, and I like the blink change. I don't know about that Lion though, he was cool before but now he just seems like an asshole.

 

[MotherFan]

when does this go live?

 

[The Technomancer]

Tinker
Added Aghanim's Scepter: Doubles Laser cast range and Heat-Seeking missile count

lol wut

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yeah still great for towers but I wish I could attack while running. Enemies can just run away if there's no lockdown.

 

[Quesa]

Yep. And Between the blink and primal split buffs, I'm a happy brewmaster player.

 

[Acinixys]

You now lose one gold per second if you haven't picked a hero after the selection timer runs out in All Pick

Good shit

Wow some of these changes are intense

 

[Pratfall]

Yeah still great for towers but I wish I could attack while running. Enemies can just run away if there's no lockdown.

That would be incredible. If focus fire locked you on to a target and you would attack at an increased rate while moving. Wonder if they could do it in the engine.

 

[LiQuid!]

That Kaolin nerf is kind of brilliant. Just reversed his two abilities so he can't stun you from a damned mile away making you helpless to his entire combo. His ultimate is still really damn powerful, but at least he lost the ability to murder anybody at level 3.

What a patch guys. I had a real bad taste in my mouth reading the 6.79 notes but even with a couple nerfs to my heroes in this patch this sounds like a pretty great one. 50 gold GG branches? Forget about it!

 

[sixghost]

Yep. And Between the blink and primal split buffs, I'm a happy brewmaster player.

Yeah what a huge patch for brew. I wonder if blink should be his first item now, since you can get his combo off without the extra mana.

 

[KingKong]

So you guys think there's going to be a day 3? They seemed to be hinting really heavily about Phoenix being the boss of the new game mode and I noticed the patch notes didnt have any non-balance changes

 

[Raytow]

Yeah still great for towers but I wish I could attack while running. Enemies can just run away if there's no lockdown.

windrun, focus is still activated as long as you are targeting the same enemy and in range(you can even swap targets but only the original one gets peppered)

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Spirit Breaker gonna terrorize pubs again.

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

when does this go live?

They did not tell us yet. Probably means there will be a third reveal tomorrow.

Spoiler

Featuring Pheonix and some unannounced new features.

 

[eznark]

Tobi seemed to be hinting at another big ass announcement tomorrow.

 

[Borgnine]

lol that's like some Hanna-Barbera shit. Maybe Aghs upgrade gives her an arrow machine gun she can push around.

 

[LiQuid!]

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give Day 3!

 

[-tetsuo-]

Legion Commander
Moment of Courage now only procs one extra lifesteal attack [?]

 

[Hung_real]

Tobi seemed to be hinting at another big ass announcement tomorrow.

Phoenix ?

Damn I'm hyped

 

[The Technomancer]

Holy shit these item changes are nuts

 

[Artanisix]

omfg if i wasn't at class I'd do a big write up on how godlike this patch is

 

[Anbokr]

GUYS I WOKE UP AND ACTUALLY CREAMED MY PANTS

 

[Marauder Shields]

Am pretty pumped about Lion Ags buff. Could synergise pretty well with heroes like Dark Seer, Magnus, Enigma.

 

[Skab]

Hm. Playdota still hasn't posted 6.80 notes yet. I need to see what Sun Wukong does damn it.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

[NBtoaster]

6.80 seems a relatively safe update compared to the last couple.

 

[mfaex]

http://www.twitch.tv/draskyll Draskyl, Bruno, Luminous discussing patch.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Will icefrog ever do something about caustic finale. ;_;

 

[RS4-]

Imagine giving someone the aghs finger...only to kill yourself because another enemy hero had blademail up.

re: the gold loss during ap; was thinking of this a few days ago

Both teams have 75 seconds to make their picks. For every opposing team pick, your team loses 5-10 seconds. If a player still hasn't made a choice after the timer, that player gets a random hero but no bonus gold.

Poor Veno, - regen and damage

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I want to learn Meepo now that he seems as useful as he's ever been. Been meaning to get good at micro.

 

[Skab]

Will icefrog ever do something about caustic finale. ;_;

What's wrong with it?

 

[Acinixys]

One thing im annoyed about is Snipers Take Aim buff

Almost 1k attack range with it maxed

Gonna be annoying as shit in pubs

is that long enough to outrange towers?

Yes

At lvl 2

 

[Booty Patrol]

Where is Mirana her base damage increase buff?
