How sure are we that it's today?

Probably tomorrow. If it was today I dunno why they'd split it up.

 

[aeolist]

necro buff seems utterly useless with ench being so strong, unless you're on her side

she shouldn't be able to steal them

6.84 is the truth

god is truly real

FIRST GAME OF 6.84 I GOT TO PLAY MY BEAUTIFUL SON LESHRAC AND I WENT OFF

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1435498606

also i just noticed, but dotabuff doesnt have pictures for all of the new items

i had bottle, wand, boots of travel, that glittercape thing, octarine core, and a lotus orb

i didnt have a circlet or a blade of alacrity at the end

Beastmaster buff was puzzling to say the least. Hero was strong enough.

 

[Anbokr]

Short games. Stomps. Huge difference of gold between winner and loser.

Winners generally have a lot more gold than losers in dota :/. And shorter games isn't necessarily a bad thing, I like shorter games. Deathball is definitely back (but with many more skirmishes/teamfights behind it), but there are a lot of buffed anti-push heroes to counter with.

 

[Shuggananas]

But break doesn't disable butterfly evasion ^o)

Then beastmaster is the true king of the patch.

HEY 6.83 ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

 

[Divvy]

Octarine orb!

 

[SteveWinwood]

beastmaster was totally fine last patch

teams had started to pick him

he got a decent buff

why who knows

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yup, this is one of the few games in which I don't think Silver Edge is good, the entire TT team has one passive skill total, though reducing damage is good vs gyro(he has bkb though).

this patch was made for me

 

[GregLombardi]

6.84 . Probably deserved a thread on gaming side considering how big the game is and how game-changing the patch is.

Does it really feel that crazily different? I actually thought about making a thread but then thought better of it because I am at work and don't have time to give it the proper treatment!

Hoping extreme five man deathball doesn't become the dominant strategy again like it was during TI4, but changes like the tier 1 tower glyph reset should hopefully balance everything so it can be viable but not every game. I just don't want a return to TI4 finals meta.

 

[Wok]

Maiden was also buffed a lot. Ganking for the win.

Jakiro too.

 

[Supermanisdead]

stevewinwood y dont u play dota anymore

 

[docbon]

[SteveWinwood]

Disgusting.

This is the biggest patch since the patch which changed the roshan pit and such.

 

[JC Sera]

Jakiro too.

Greaves will be a terrific buff to him too. When I stopped buying Mek I kinda stop playing Jaks.

 

[KingKong]

Glimmer cape is going to get nerfed so fast, its stupid cheap for what it does

 

[Anbokr]

first competitive game on 6.84:
-close to 40 mins so far (and still going)
-ultra close, back n forth
-lots of teamfights
-quite a few "new" heroes

deathball, short games, gold differentialz, and the apocolypse kappa

 

[Shuggananas]

impetus going through magic immunity isn't a big deal rite

 

[kvk1]

wayto please

 

[Divvy]

Dat Impetus

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Core Ench boys

 

[Satch]

Disgusting.

i know, isnt this patch great?

 

[aeolist]

so if ench gets aghs you have to focus her first in every teamfight, no matter what

 

[JC Sera]

I wonder if Zeus platemail will become a lotus orb

 

[Shuggananas]

so if ench gets aghs you have to focus her first in every teamfight, no matter what

good thing she has 0 strength !

 

[Imp the Dimp]

HEY 6.83 ( ° ͜ʖ͡°)╭∩╮

Seconded. Shittiest patch of Dota 2 I've played in 2.5 years. First time I didn't mind playing the game for week intervals.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Unless you have evasion or you're tanky. She still has serious weaknesses, and she was always extremely dangerous with aghs, just not when you had bkb.

I seriously think PA is going to be the carry of this patch.

 

[aeolist]

otoh she has no health and mom turned on DDD:

 

[shira]

Wur compentium? Money burning hole in stim wallit

Satch 6.84

Wonder if lotus reflects impetus

 

[Imp the Dimp]

PL is gonna be the carry of this Patch. Slark is gonna be strong as well.

PL not getting touched at all surprised me.

edit: And with PL's resurgence, Sven is gonna gain popularity. Quote me in 2 months.

 

[Big Dog]

Tfw team didn't even realize there was a patch until they purchased items in game :/

silver edge fucks PA ultra hard

 

[Divvy]

Yes, just stand there and tank the death ward

 

[kvk1]

welcome your new queen enchantress to the stage

 

[Kard8p3]

ROFL you can't read the CD of Phoenix's Fire Spirits if it has an octarine core.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Damn, man mode by Qoyqwva (sp)

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

silver edge fucks PA ultra hard

So did old Hex, and I doubt this item is going to be more common than Scythe, Lion and Shaman.

 

[shira]

if someone hasnt done it in a few hours ill post one with highlights to the big stuff



thats probably a better idea

It should be a preTI5 thread but that would be a shit tonne of work. I don't even understand the patch. It's literally 3-4 pages of jargon.

 

[aeolist]

pieliedie

Y U NO GLIMMER CAPE

 

[inkls]

So did old Hex, and I doubt this item is going to be more common than Scythe, Lion and Shaman.

wut, item is super good. you'll def see it.

 

[G.ZZZ]

I watched only first half of that game and Ench aghs buff made exactly 0 difference since no one had bkb . Was it relevant later on?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

wut, item is super good. you'll def see it.

It's my favorite new item, I never said it was bad. But I think if PA had to choose between getting hexed in 6.83 and Silver Edged in 6.84 she'd choose the latter, especially considering melee heroes have to get into melee range to get the debuff on her(Scythe has a 800 range).

I watched only first half of that game and Ench aghs buff made exactly 0 difference since no one had bkb . Was it relevant later on?

Yeah she murdered both Gyro and Enigma while they were BKB'd a few times.

There was no Enchantress Aghs buff?
