Amazing patch. I was lying in back too lazy to get up, see the update and decide I can just read patchnotes while still being comfy.
So many bug fixes that it made me uncomfortable eventually and I had to get up.
No seriously, it's fucking ridiculous how much minor, yet at the same time important stuff they fixed.
The indicators for tower range and spawn boxes are god-send. I lately just had some imgur album with the spawn boxes on my second display because why the fuck wouldn't I. Takes a lot to learn the exact attributes of ~14 or so spawn boxes. One of those parts that isn't actually that hard but rather downright cumbersome. Ward placing shouldn't be so much about "he fucked up because he isn't aware of the 100% exact locations" but rather about game sense, when and where to place the wards. Tower range indicator is similar.
All that really just makes for a better gameplay experience and raises the skill floor while impacting the skill ceiling only a bit. And, as I said, this wasn't the sort of skill I'd consider important to begin with.

order has indeed been established.
Universe why are you doing this to me?
You are my favorite player
and I dont want to be a Secret fanboy
Be a player fanboy and not a team fanboy.
I still don't like EE but what can I do, Puppey still in Secret so I'm still rooting for them.

sorry but you'll need someone to draw #hotFear anime style in order for it to be welcome here.

What team do I hate now? RTZ really has no idea what he wants, last year he said he wanted to play mid again but he ended up going to EG to play carry, now he's back at Secret again(though he'll be playing mid this time).
I wonder if W33 and Misery can find a new team worth a damn, that means no singsing.

Why can't I find a non-budget range copy of Burnout 3 that works?
Don't hate the team, hate the player.

But I just realized I didn't hate any of the individual players of EG, I just hated the team. Alright maybe I hate Sumail a bit, but he's going to DC so condolences to him.
So you only read like 5 posts a page?

Just do what I do. This thread is a graveyard considering I block anyone that posts any anime, and it's so much better.

goodnight punpun
tusk is a truly vile and disgusting hero that already has an immortal
the only important news here is that phoenix might get an immortal (pray)
I felt like EG and Secret were finally starting to stabilize, but now this. I don't see a team with EE and RTZ working out well. You could argue Puppey and Universe are stabilizing factors, but there is a saying that likely applies. With one knucklehead you are fine, but bring more than knucklehead into the equation is just asking for trouble (regardless of talent levels).
I just hope Fear and Sumail stick together, PPD while entertaining and a crazy good drafter has to be looked questionable as a leader. However, I think most of this EG thing has "the disease of more" written all over it.
Also watch the first game of TNC vs MVP.

waiT does this mean drow will get assist gold from any kill by a ranged hero anywhere on the map?
I don't think aura's work with the new assist thing
auras are buffs/debuffs
More importantly assist gold doesn't work that way.

I think the game recognizes them differently.
ah yeah, my bad

The difference is RTZ is now mid, but I actually don't know if he can make playmaking mids work out at all, then again 6.87 is probably right around the corner so who knows what the meta will be like(I doubt it's going to change much).
But yeah, it's not an improvement over Sumail/RTZ, which I already wasn't a fan of since day 1. Sounds like the EG players just didn't want to play on the same team(as PPD) anymore though and didn't really care about anything else.

As a phoenix player this is a significant nerf. Supernova lasts 6 seconds so Firespirits, which last 4 seconds, always run out. When it updates immediately now instead of lingering on (which can be quite a while considering the huge IAS slow it provides) that's a big difference.
I do like this fix but it undoubtedly weakens phoenix. Well, maybe they make up for it via some other tweaks and if not...he'll at least not become the next FotM hero.
They also fixed being able to cast sunray while using solar dive, which basically just put the ability on cd doing nothing, so far.
e:
We'll also be getting a Phoenix Immortal for TI6 or so? screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It could also buff his trading in lane, however. I doubt the change will be super significant in the context you're imagining, unless the debuff would run out right at the start of attack animations. Against anyone with a bit of attack speed, the nerf amounts to a fraction of a second, in all likelihood.
But obviously I haven't run any maths.
