4 harpies strat, you heard it here first! 560 dmg highrange chainlightning every 4 seconds!
Hmm, that is interesting.
Also rip drow visage :(
oh and ghost creep now viable hahaha
Also doesn't look like icefrog listened to the cries about tb buff. Has the change to quelling blade even been fixed yet (where illus don't benefit from the extra damage anymore)
I don't get the hero bounty changes. You get less xp for hero kills now? And slightly more gold if you're behind?
More undying nerfs, AWESOME.
Mek is just so bad right now, which is an indirect buff to GG. Also yeah that QB bug got fixed a while back. And guys deal with it, almost no AGI carry is good this patch and TB is the greediest of the greedy so even if he got buffed he kinda would be useless.
the nerf to meka is made to force you to buy the new item arc+mek which is 45cd, so its a buff to this item
how is it a buff? while i love the upgraded boots as triplesteal made me note, its still 1600gold for a recipe that could be spent elsewhere.
still its not a buff to the guardian boots, just a nerd to the mekanism alone
It's more poor drow than visage. Visage will still be picked about as much, but drow strats will be less popular.
I think drow is good this patch. She comes online at 6 with 1 item and can either teamfight or rat.
It's an indirect buff because now you get more value out of the recipe.
@Luxon
It didnt, only when the aura was activated or drow was in the AoE. As I understand it is now an Activate exclusive now
@Solaire
The change was made because Tether was a 1-point wonder and you would not increase the level in it but rather skill stats after lvl 11
@Pomi
Quellingblade got fixed
I still didn't know they got the damage while they were in the AoE. Thought they got it only with the active.
As much as i love getting mek I do like the mek nerf. It'll slow down snowballing from back to back team fights.
Slow down the deathball meta for PRO scene which is rather important for the coming TI.
Terrorblade shouldnt be bad that patch since its about pushing towers quickly, if you think about it get a team that is tanky and push good like a dk mid and then when ge calls for push just go metamorphosis and push that tower, tb is super strong early if not focused, in a team fight paired with something like a dk, a stun and undying, nobody will be able to touch tb while he destroys everything. Im considering trying this hero again. I do agree his str nerf was a bit too much though.
^ well they also fixed QB not effecting illusions, which I am guessing is why his win rate went up 1% this week. even with that and the fact that towers are no longer immortal, he still doesn't seem good, he got nefred so hard and farming is slower this patch which is a nerf to all heavily farm dependent heroes.
He is too easy to shut down & it takes him ages to come online. Even if he comes online, he is still not that great.
just played with the tether nerf, it's not a big deal, 9 movespeed difference on a 300ms hero
still rather pump stats over it

Wasn't that long ago since b, but another hotfix patch coming.

Interesting change to Chen though. While big creeps like ancients, trolls and centaurs won't be as big, you could make 1K hp banishers and harpies now. That's kinda cute.
