I think tiny (specifically craggy exterior) will likely get a rework. ET and Razor also possibly. I don't think Brood is likely to get reworked. The hero already fits well into its niche.
Meh it'll probably be some subtle tweaks like usual ever since 7.00 came
Don't expect much
Adding mechanics will probably trigger more players and make them quit lol icefrog is now careful on his patches.
why do i get the feeling that the game is in the spot where one bad/too radical change or a new mechanic will make dota drop half of its playerbase
1-they need to fix MM system
2-nerf es lich (yeah fuck that hero) sven necro veno fucking cancer and skywrath
3-remove base shrines
Ember agility growth from 1.9 to 2.1 + sleight of fist bonus hero dmg from 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 to 40 / 60 / 80 / 100
Invo base armor from 1 to 3
SF int growth from 1.8 to 2, Strength from 15 to 17
Lion hex manacost from 125 / 150 / 175 / 200 to 100 / 130 / 160 / 200 and ms from 290 to 295
viper doesnt need a nerf, he needs a buff
the rest seems like a fine patch to me, but im fairly sure icefrog wont do it
even tho WE NEED A FUCKING PATCH
this gamestate is just boring now
I am not completely sure about this, but I think Scythe of Vyse's hex needs to be unremovable by a lotus orb. It is already bad enough that lotus orb will reflect hex if cast on the target, but being able to negate the effect of a much more expensive item like that is kind of brutal, honestly.
If lotus orb didn't remove hex, it'd be much worse in general, but I think it counters hex way too much.
