league is so powerful
I don't get the basher/abyssal meganerf tho, forcing vanguard into abyssal lol... basher and abyssal's overall damage contribution has been severely cut in the last two patches and i don't think it was necessary at all, indirect buffs to like troll/void/slar tho i guess.
Also with the base HP buff and scaling HP from strength buff, armor and magic. res going to be indirectly much more valuable this patch. Really nice buff for TB this patch.
Not sure how I like the armor aura from towers at first glance... and tier 2 towers doing more damage. Last patch wasn't exactly marked by quick games, some were quick and some were very long. I feel like with nerfs across the board to pushing/summon heroes (cause many were OP), we're going to see a really slowed down game, unnecessarily slowed down.
Yeah, people freaking out about spell scaling need to calm down. It's really really really minor right now. Might be increased in the future I'm betting, but he started with an ultra conservative number. Not to mention base HP and HP growth was increased which pretty much cancels out the increased damage from spells.

idk, I was having good success with Viper going boots-aquila-mek-S&Y and then splitting the S&Y into Manta-Silver Edge. That build-up no longer works, and Halberd is much less interesting.
I kind of prefer going for the late Silver Edge rather than rushing a Shadow Blade because I find that teams find it much harder to have sentries/dust late game than early on.
In my rush to test out the new client, I discovered that destroyed trees would drop a banana item every now and then. It instantly got my thinking of boss events Icefrog had done in the past, so I thought it would be best to share asap.
Edit: I noticed this peeled banana at the radiant secret shop. Perhaps part of some trigger event. http://i.imgur.com/QWP3Gcs.png
edit2: Actually scrap that. The banana item is actually useable. "using" one drops a peeled banana underneath your hero, but it does NOT consume your banana in the inventory. Was slightly confused by that. :L (Due to -wtf mode I later discovered. Then it consumes normally)
edit3: Creatures does indeed slip while walking over the peeled bananas. http://i.imgur.com/KiMMbD0.png
edit4: Roshan gets mini-stunned for a split second while walking over a banana skin. http://i.imgur.com/kO2BXoU.png
is this for fucking real
oh lmao
yeah it got megabuffed
A lot of the luxury items got much needed buffs. Linken's 300g cheaper, heart now gives +90ish HP and +5 damage to STR heroes, silver edge massive cost reduction and better stats. That's just off the top of my head too.

you did it haly
that new dragonlance + force item seems insane for sniper lol
i don't really understand the big nerf to octarine, it wasn't being bought THAT much. I really wish it was redesigned to be more of a balanced stat item for all heroes (rather than int heavy), it would be a really cool item on heroes like CK, WK, Lycan, etc... aka a variety of agi/str heroes.

Life Stealer is already getting picked pro games and winning
He will be the top tier hero next patch

Full leeg. Now it's actually a properly designed skill instead of a modern design tacked onto a legacy one.
Good job frozentoad.
too slow though...could work with high ground def since they cant see you but ES still need blink.
ES Aghs now with a dedicated, if slow, blink. interesting.
Ya still need that instant blink for any good slam.

Meh
so many late game oriented changes this patch, i'm really feeling a 6.83 resurgence
-nerfs to push heroes
-nerfs to early game items
-buffs to late game items (with the exception of abyssal which got massacred)
-buffs to towers
-reduced gold from creeps in the laning stage
-ramped up gold from creeps as the game goes later
not that it's a bad thing to get 6.83 2.0 tho (with the reduced comeback mechanic from 6.84 it might be fun)
