Also, move over Luna,

[JustinBB7]

This update is crazy

Force Staff can now be used on Homing Missile

lmao

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Juggernaut is crazy good now, I already thought he was a good hero. And how the fuck is that enough of a nerf to Elder Titan and Euls? Glad Void got fucked though.

And did Lina even get better? Better lategame I guess. DS+LSA still doesn't kill a full creep wave and costs more mana to boot.

Dat 1300 Blink at all levels QoP though, still not viable I think but that's fun.

 

[Manus]

Diffusal Blade is no longer a Unique Attack Modifier

wuttttttttttttt,

[sixghost]

[Gav47]

Only on the test cilent

 

[Madouu]

0:00 haste rune was dumb, I've gotten so many free kills with it. Good that they changed that.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'm going to buy so many ice effigies it isn't funny

 

[Kard8p3]

OMG 4 creeps for chen

omg techies in CM

 

[W1SSY]

Alt click on the patch notes for some extra fun.

 

[sleverfunk]

Juggernaut is getting more buffs. Tier 1 incoming.

Also Force staffing gyro rocket is hilarious.

 

[bbd23]

Crystal Maiden buffs
Beastmaster buffs
lina buffs

decent patch i guess

 

[RS4-]

Lol shrap not working on buildings.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I'm not sure the CK ult buff even matters. Not a lot of teamfights are going to last long enough for your illusions to either stay alive for that long or for your opponent to last that long, and illusions deal 25% less damage to buildings and the duration got increased by 25% so that sort of evens out I think(hard to say without tests)?

On the other hand you can cast it before a fight since the duration is so stupid long anyway, but I think he would have benefitted way more from a CD reduction.

 

[Artanisix]

I hope the inhouse league isn't also planned for june. Milk?

post coming within the week.

also holy shit DESE CHANGES

 

[kvk1]

[Saprol]

Naix ganking with new Infest like HoN Parasite? Except the whole not before level 6 part.

 

[KingKong]

such a tiny buff to Rubick, why icefrog why

 

[Hazaro]

such a tiny buff to Rubick, why icefrog why

Ignore the fact if your team is dumb Rubick can perma stun the entire team forever (with mana), sure.

Insane change, even then having like a 2s stun on a 2 or 4s CD??? yolo aghs everygame

 

[FlutterPuffs]

They readded the tree near Roshan's pit lmao

 

[Madouu]

Clock, Chen, Disruptor, Lion, BM and Leshrac buffs. This is my kind of patch.

They even ported parasite.

Fuck that slardar sprint change though.

 

[Technosteve]

They buffed Chen, and my MacBook air can barely play it .

 

[NBtoaster]

Pick Chen, Naix, Enchantress, Centaur and Magnus. All build helm, run at enemy with 13 centaurs.

Spoiler

Magnus isn't a centuar, but close enough

 

[sixghost]

Fuck that slardar sprint change though.

What's wrong with the Slardar change? The downtime is exactly the same, it just gives him more control over the ability.

 

[Aselith]

In my last game a girl laughed on mic and then said "lawl" anyways. What is this world coming to?

 

[Satch]

INSHALLAH THE BEASTMASTER BUFFS

 

[Madouu]

What's wrong with the Slardar change? The downtime is exactly the same, it just gives him more control over the ability.

Sprint down time went from 8 seconds to 7 seconds for a 4 seconds nerf to the duration. I don't think it's a good trade off.

 

[Artanisix]

I'll glady take it for the reduced amp damage cd!
