I don't Tinker is that strong, there are many heroes that can easily counter Tinker, the best counters are all the Spirit heroes ( except Vengeful Spirit ). Buying Shadow Blade automatically makes you a counter to Tinker
Dazzle buff a little maybe pls
Other offlaner heroes buff
Keep cancer heroes like storm weak
Sf will get a small nerf I think
Morph buff (hopefully)
Jug nerf
Am buff
Axe nerf
Cm nerf
Lycan nerf
Venge nerf
Riki nerf
Troll nerf
Not any huge nerfs but small balancing
Earth spirits gonna get his movespeed nerfed again for no reason. Honestly why the fuck nerf his ms when you can just nerf his base dmg if clubbing people to death early game is too strong. damn you ice frog
That hero is about as cancerous as PL, nerf that fucking fucker to the depths of hell where he belongs
If spectre doesn't get a nerf I'll eat my boot, and spam her for MMR.
More Razor buffs most likely. He's had a terrible showing at Kiev despite the recent minor buffs he had received (which should be obvious given how minor they are).
Viper, drow, gyro, ench all also probably in line for buffs. LD's spirit bear will also probably be buffed.
CM might finally get a nerf for the first time in forever given how popular she has been. Abaddon maybe too.
Edit - would have said bloodseeker but Icefrog clearly hates the hero and refuses to give him any skills or talents which are decent.
I just want troll to be nerfed into the shitty ground where he belongs.
and huskar buffs.
at least huskar requires a thing called skill
Carry Puck is intentional win
DioX made this guide its all possible because of him (me)
I would like a buff for Venomancer Plague Wards.
Not for damage or health or anything like that. I just want them to stop staring at Techies mines when they see them.
cm nerf
thats the only obvious one imo
idk how they could nerf shadow fiend though, his stats are already pretty dog shit and his other values have either been unchanged for a long time (even the time when he was not a viable pick even) or are irrelevant to his main strengths
-Midas will be not nerfed as buff was this patch, so we will see that in every game on at least 4 heroes.
-buff please io icefrog io got nerf since dota 2 exist
-nerf sniper
-nerf spec why is this lazy hero first in winrate mg
-buff puck
-buff sven
-buff qop or rework a bit or at least make her agh better
-nerf cm ofc
-buff all babysit heroes actually
I Love ppl crying about spec being highest winrate and demanding a nerf. So basically she was not changed at all its other small changes that made her shine this patch and moreover she's been top 3 winrate since i play dota again which is pretty much 6.86. Don't nerf spectre buff other heroes/items etc, spec is fine the way she is.
nerf treant to ground pls
leave AM alone, fuck that hero
tweak slardar a bit
sven still crap , buff a little
Qop still irrelevant
-I believe they're gonna (and should) bring back midas to 190gold. I mean, the exp nerf was alright, then they just had to give it 220 gold. Ridiculous.
-Buff/remake Helm of Dominator, it's a dead item.
-Huskar buff
-Sven buff, PLEASE. I love that hero, but in my unbiased opinion, he's very kitable, slow in almost everything he does. Storm bolt takes to long to shoot, below average MS, God's Strength has a pretty long cast point. At least other kitable heroes like Ursa and Troll have faster MS (and can make themselves move faster as they naturally and mostly build Phase boots) and can take down heroes with ease (Fury swipes for burst, Axes for bash, slow, and miss).
So far, that's what I can think. Of course, IMO.
Whats with LC? I play her offlane since bone7 and Cloud9 times. Now she seems a strong offlane pick in pro scene. Often picked and banned with a good winrate. But her winnrate is low in pubs. Because of useless junglers?
Maybe a nerf to her W?
Why would lifestealer get nerfed? He was horrible in group stage, 2-8 I think. 3-1 in playoff but small sample size and that usually means it's a much better pick when it's super situational like that.
TB dominated both and has ~52% win rate in pubs so I could see a nerf. Maybe a small armor nerf or sunder cd increase. Slark also dominated but he is ~47% in pubs so I doubt he'll change much. Slark is REALLLY good when he's a 4th or 5th pick and enemy has no lockdown.
Windlace need nurf, why supports can get it when match just started? It's should get bloked for 2 mins or smth, like rain drop. Lane stage is to agressive.
And nerf shrine tp's cuz split push was dead since their backdoor was reworked.
frankly, if the 2 tb game i saw were representative for the rest of the tournament, then nerfing tb would be totally stupid.
In those two game, he didn't get contested AT ALL. ofc if you never gank/disrupt one of the hardest carry of the game you totally diserve to lose.
Considering how well spectre did (stat wise), it really feels to me that the whole tournament, carry weren't contested at all.
Anyway, if tb were to get a change, i'd really hope it'll be on reflection. That spell scream, "the rest of my skillset must suck, cause i'm too op".
Personnaly i really hate when too many heroes have concept broken spell, if they were to become the backbone of every picks, the game would start to become very chaotic in term of balance (tb,io,slark,ww,oracle, earthspirit's agahs, tusk's agah -glad tusk suck so much so we never see that- to name few...) They are either totally useless, or totally op in a game.
(Imo the only concept broken hero that is decently balanced atm is invoker and yet...)
TB and Spec only looked good because the other carries are bad. https://www.dotabuff.com/esports/events/169/heroes Just look at the heroes. Only one in the top 10 is a hard carry (Spectre) and VS was played as a core as few games as well. Just look at the winrates for Jugg, Lifestealer and Troll.
Yup that's true, if we forget about tb slark and spectre, every single carry that performed well were actually carry that you play middle (or for which you can choose middle or safelane)

Ok, so obviously, there is gonna be a new patch coming after this Kiev Major, so what do you think are the changes are there gonna be made after Kiev?
Few things I want:
* Morphling's Replicate has a basic dispel.
* Change Shadow Demon's level 20 talent into Demonic Purge has Break.
* Reduce Magnus's Empower duration.
