Bounties will be huge now.
Minute 30 rune gives 120 gold (to each, for each rune). That is the same as taking T2 tower. If you pick all 4, it gives almost 600 gold to each in the team now.. That is 3k swing if you secure it. Just for idea - taking all 6 outer towers give your team 660 each (+some bonus gold to one taking it).
Will be interesting to see if bottles will be usefull again.
The matches will last less than normal with these changes, I don't believe that will be a late carry meta.
Removed a tree to the bottom right of the dire mid lane, near the map ledge
I like this one
Just realized Dire mid is harder to gank that Radiant mid
Does the bottle carrier have to pick up the bounty to fill the bottle or is it a free refill at 5mins?
Pretty much the same way - secure bounties, kill, stack. Go to empty lanes. Jesus, recently there were no bounties.
Game shifting to teamwork + def more than push meta..
I think IO will benefit a lot with bottle-rune change
For supp- wards will be easier and more gold through stacking.
Denying a 99% hp taken tower would be so frustrating
The team would benefit from ganks together, and kills over the farming, thats it. 2 1 2 and ganks from mid will be more often now.
I guess we gonna see more battles on bounties(?), roamers are oficially rekt, now it's ok to deny the T3 tower if the enemy team pushes and took some space back to regain resources.
So they destroy the pushing meta even more, 2 1 2 meta is official, late game carries are less optimal now, bottle is almost revived.
I guess it is a nerf to all positions, especially 4. 5 is buffed a bit ( yay)
Don't u think it's actually buff for whole team. 2 players , 1 from each extreme lane goes and picks runes.
Everyone in team- gets 110/165/220 gold for 2/3/4 runes picked at 5 min mark. It's probably more benefit to the team as a whole when 1 roams
..
Thanks for noticing

Bounty runes now spawn every 5 minutes not 2. Also it's not always clear if u will be able to get those runes, there might be even some fights there. But, it's good cuz, more action in early game more than before i guess... Just my thoughts.
Interesting. Might cement the 2-1-2, with roamers leaving after the 5 minute mark maybe?
Taking towers didn't change, you just have to be careful about just afk shoving. Watch the hp, and don't get the tower into deny range, unless you can fully commit to dropping it/enemy hero. I also see this encouraging reckless plays to attempt a deny.
Save reports for techies players mining runes, which will happen more now than ever.
It's a shame they won't allow more than one courier in the game like the old days. I could defintely use a relay runner. Right now, it feels like the courier is never free, and I have to back to base to get more wards.
trying to steal first bounties at 5 min mark after the 0 min mark would have higher consequence for the stealer since shrine would be ready at this point too
Thank god they nerfed bounty runes. Even guardians going for runes every 2 mins in laning stage and there I am struggling to lh everything.
I reckon they're trying to phase out the mango. 1hp regen to 0.7 and now 0.6 along with the claim that it's on sale. It's the only way to go
Ok guys no need to taking down towers we have the same amout of gold by only picking bounty runes!
Well to take runes you need map control. So gives a bit snowballing erect I would say. If you are losing you will probably not be able to send people around map to collect them.
so runes are now another job for the support which should motivate them to ward more :D well played, valve!
