The 66% magic resist is going to be important with all of the buffs to spells.

Tidehunter will enjoy this patch. Naturally gets mek and arcane=>guardian greaves and Octarine Core will be perfect for him and will replace shivas

OD IS BACK BABY
Oh shit! You're right!
Aghanim's Scepter Sanity's Eclipse upgrade now affects everyone in the area of effect with Astral Imprisonment after it deals its damage
So all enemies get imprisoned or only get the debuff of astral from it?

Shadow demon buff pleases me.
-Demonic Purge Aghamin's Scepter upgrade now applies Break (disabling passive abilities)
PA pickers sure are gonna have fun this patch.

Meta is still too important for early game presence, and he need images to start farming the jungle

On my VOD, I highly recommend watching for Bounty Hunter at about 23 minutes. That range is INSANE.

He definitely needed the anti-kite power instead of just more straight damage.

I can't wait for videos of Linas and Lions getting killed by Lotus.

I was waiting for someone to do this. I await so many Tusk Aghs cliff videos.

Just played some pubs after reading the patch notes and getting excited for it. Can confirm 6.83 is still completely stupid.
it purges debuffs on use, that's a pretty big anti-kite mechanism
This patch looks insane (in a good way). My only gripe is at first glance I think Octarine Core is ridiculously fucking overpowered. We'll have to wait and see, but it gives insane stats and two insane passives. You can flat out remove one of the two passives and it would still be a good item. Imagine if heart suddenly gave the 35% evasion from bfly as a bonus secondary passive effect.
One thing I really like in particular in this patch, that it's great to see Valve and IceFrog take more advantage of, is use things that are now possible thanks to not being restricted to WC3. Examples of this are clicking the Chilling Touch buff to remove it, and swapping the observer and sentry wards.

Aw shit. Now melee supports aren't so shitty dewarding. Queling Blade a must have pick for melee support for sure.

The buffs to Lone Druid and Radiance (17% MISS CHANCE!?) are going to keep me up tonight.

Well, we wanted rat? Natures Prophet is probably going to be very popular again.
And there seem to be a few more items that are better suited to strength carries, but I still think Armlet could have used a bit more of a buff. 10 extra attack speed and a very slightly buffed armlet toggling makes it sound to me it still isn't really worth it.
But good patch, we'll see how the new items work out.
