It was always the first item, you don't really need anything other than a bottle already. I know some people like getting drums but it's not really needed.

I've been thinking about it a bit and I'm worried this Sniper buff is going to hamper my enjoyment of Dota. At my noob low level match making, you see Sniper in almost every game and more often than not people just feed him by being terribad. This is just gonna make things even worse. Gonna have to either stack or gome home.

I bought treads that game doesn't count.
Fucking finally, goddam.
Some of these changes are really fun, can't wait to see people use this.

Aghanim's Scepter now causes Finger of Death to hit units within a 200 AoE of the primary target
wasn't this in the leaked patch?

You missed SK and yes that is actually pretty crazy. I like the idea of giving Str initiators a stealth buff, though.
Do you mind being more specific? There don't seem to be a lot of straight buffs for heroes that are usually considered to be really good or OP in 6.79.
*Edit*: Just realized that was probably a joke post.

Pretty sure phoenix is tomorrow, unless they push out test today. It hasn't happened so far, and usually it happens right away after they show patch notes.
I was thinking even before mana boots, since blink, slam, ult only costs 275 mana at level 7 now.

I remember being in the trench and seeing a lot of Sniper. I don't recall him being a pub stomper at lower levels though. He's just god awful but bad players like him due to how easy he is to play. He's not easy to do well with however just based on how many weaknesses he got.
Yeah i get phase already if i'm on midlane. You're most likely not gonna have blink at level 7 anyway and with another couple of levels it's enough to cast everything anyway.
I love Slardar, and this is going to make playing him so much more fun, seeing as he has such a shitty mana pool
blink - ult - stun - bash - bash - bash - ded
maybe we'll get monkey king too

From my experience if the guy playing Sniper is competent, at my level of match making, people will feed him. This is obviously not always the case, but it's the general impression that I get. It's just frustrating because like you said, the hero has a lot of weaknesses. But once he gets that snowball rolling he's such a pain.
It's also just tiresome to see the same hero all the time, whether on your team or the opposition. These changes are just going to make him more popular.

Oh wow, they actually preserved Terrorblade using Illidan's weapons

What is Icefrog thinking with Lina? Am I supposed to be carrying now? Give me increased aoe or range on LSA or decrease delay or something. I run carry Lina in bot games and semi-carry sometimes for fun online, it's not viable competitively ever.
Really hyped for Magnus though, I was already good with him, now more int AND no mana for Blink? That's great. Question is: Can it run Blink before Mana boots?

going throught the list quickly, this is what comes to mind:
slardar shouldn't have been buffed, for one. he already deals a ton of damage with all the buffs to his ult. that thing is going to be op as shit
spirit breaker also shouldn't be buffed, even a bit. he wasn't even nerfed significantly in the last update actually, people just stopped playing it. the nerf last update was like, his ult can be cancelled now or something. that wasn't really what made the hero good
shadow shaman shouldn't have been buffed. the buff to his ult last patch already made him way too good
earth spirit should've gotten the broodmother treatment
ns shouldn't have been buffed. he's already really good with the changes to night time and the -vision his ult gives. not significant but still
lycan was already really good in this update. shouldn't have been buffed as well
desolator on bear is dumb
huskar buffs are dumb. hero was fine before. might become a problem again
dp should've had her ult nerfed to what it was before the last patch, kept the nuke cd. buff to silence is ok though
change to stampede is dumb
bs getting buffed again. fuck that
alchemist didn't get nerfed enough as well
don't think wr or tinker should've been buffed either. especially tinker
also i don't like the change to void's ult cooldown

tidehunter got buffed
All I want is very slight damage buffs to her nukes so a Dragon Slave/LSA combo will clear a creep wave.
What are you, antimage?

also some of those buffs are so stupid. oh no omniknight's degen aura got buffed. who gives a shit. unless he's gonna blink into the enemy team while warlock upheavals and venomancer gets a 5man gale, it makes no difference. and that doesn't even help his early game/laning in any way. meanwhile, you buff vs and wd? WHAT
nyx and mirana weren't even nerfed too. does anyone even play this game anymore

Slardar isn't getting many points in his bash until mid game anyway, when other heroes greatly out damage him, so it's not that big of a buff.

The gold tick on All Pick is amazing. Well at least I hope it is amazing, getting late to lane wasn't enough of a thing to make people stop, hopefull this is. Kinda punishes the team, but if it prevents repeat behaviour it'll be great overall.
I'm not sure how the Jak stuff will shake out. Dual breath is a much better disable now, but i wonder how the damage changes will work out. Probably worth it if you can keep someone in his ult for longer.
Curious how the legion nerf will work. I get that it'll be one attack per proc regardless of attack speed, but I dunno how the grace period stuff works.
50 dollar branches are welcome too, after the starting gold change, that seemed to be a weird hold over.

It wasn't 25% less roots, it was more like 10% or even less, it abrely even mattered. This is as much of a buff to Syla as less 4 base damage is a nerf to BB.
I threw my first game last night guys. It was the first time I can honestly say a game loss was on me. I was doing Rosh while the rest of my team was going to push tier fours which were already almost down. Silencer decides to try and help me take out Rosh because I drastically underestimated how long it would take to kill Rosh. Then I saw 3 heroes chasing after one of our heroes, so I go out thinking I can man mode, dragon tail someone hoping Silencer would pop his ult. He finishes the rest of Rosh instead and we both got stunned by Sven and die leaving aegis to the other team. Should've just pushed with the rest of the team or if I was doing Rosh finish it then go out and fight.
Super pumped for the update though.

Oh the other thing is I can't wait for the first RP/Aghs Finger combo vids. Will be glorious.

*high five*
What? 1 root in 4 would've been overrided by Mael proc. Mael has a 25% chance to proc, so that stand true for entangle procs, no matter the chance for entagle was.

Preliminary thoughts on the ES nerfs? Enough on paper?
So, assume that you got a root, which is 25%. There is a 25% on that 25% that the lightning would proc, so, the chance of a mael proc preventing a root proc is, exactly, 6.25%.
It barely matters.

I wonder if blink would be something to get on Brood, just to get out of vision as soon as possible.
blink is to get on bear. SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKA
