Observer Ward
Observer Wards now come in single increments
Cost and restock time reduced by half and stock doubled

Doesn't that just balance out the fact they're in single pieces now?

could mix up starting items now since the support + offlaner might just buy their own ward for 75 each

 

[ant_]

Whens the last patch that gave heros 7slots?

Always trust Ice Frog.

 

[Eleuin]

Wowowoow

 

[One Punch-Man]

Is this patch a good time to get into Dota?

 

[bbd23]

Is this patch a good time to get into Dota?

good time to leave more like it

 

[Volodja]

Nyx Assassin is a Starcraft 2 Roach.

 

[PillowKnight]

Dota's a bad game, don't bother. (There is never a bad time to get into dota)

 

[I H8 Memes]

Added Aghanim's Scepter upgrade to Lifestealer: Grants a new skill, Assimilate. Assimilate allows Lifestealer to target an allied hero and swallow them, allowing them to hide inside of Lifestealer. Any healing Lifestealer receives is shared with the assimilated hero. The assimilated hero can release itself at any time by clicking on the buff icon to erupt outward and deal 300 damage to enemies in a 700 area of effect. If Lifestealer dies or assimilates another hero, the currently assimilated hero will automatically exit. Issuing any order with your hero, a few seconds after being assimilated, will take you out.

This sounds disgusting.

 

[Deleted member 77995]

well everyone will be equally clueless so it might just be the best time

 

[Volodja]

Is this patch a good time to get into Dota?

I mean, might as well.
This is gonna be really confusing for a while with all these new items.

 

[harSon]

mango going to take roaming to a new level :3

 

[pompidu]

Always trust Ice Frog.

Pretty much. I have pretty much abandoned any normal game, almost exclusively been playing ability draft until op hereos and rubberband was fixed. Which this patch does a gj of now. Maybe il actually play normal games now.

 

[SteveWinwood]

silver edge is totally going to change my lc and tusk builds

 

[Kalnos]

walrus kick? ROFL

 

[BraXzy]

 

[I H8 Memes]

Some of the aghs upgrades are ridiculous. The next few weeks are going to be a waste of time playing a version they will no doubt make serious nerfs to.

 

[sixghost]

mango going to take roaming to a new level :3

Tranqs+mangos are going to be ridiculous.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

nyx might be removed from ad since he can get 5 spells. timber was removed when he got the aghs, but tree wasn't for some reason.

 

[The Technomancer]

Alchemist can now cast Aghanim's Scepter to directly grant any allied hero all Aghanim's Scepter bonuses as a buff (the hero upgrade and the stat upgrade). The scepter is consumed in the process. Multiple instances of this buff do not stack. Alchemist can target himself as well

wtf

 

[Armaros]

wtf

Literally farming items for your team now.

EVERYONE GETS AN AGHS. ALCH IS OPRAH NOW.

 

[Zoon]

I am going to eat mangos and wards

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Ohhhhh vlads works on ranged heroes....Desolator drow time?

 

[sixghost]

This patch reminds me of how it felt to learn Dota for the first time. All these items seem crazy.

 

[bbd23]

carry morph> support alch buys you aghs > rek everyone

 

[harSon]

That octarine item seems ridic

 

[Armaros]

That octarine item seems ridic

Leshrac is back

 

[SteveWinwood]

Leshrac is back

zeus ult to get full health

 

[DrPizza]

is this real life

 

[The Technomancer]

Relocate double click now teleports to fountain

Also I forsee much hilarity here

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

That octarine item seems ridic

It is almost 6k gold for it. Late game item for heroes with long cooldowns like Enigma will benefit the most.

OH ENIGMA WAS BUFFED

 

[ant_]

A lot of the items added are super lategame items. While none of us know, my theory is that this will allow teams to push their advantage late game (they will be farming the whole map).

Of course, it could just result in super long games...
