Love how they've completely altered Alchemists function in the game. Can now bestow the the affect of Aghanim's Scepter on another hero and consume the scepter in doing so.

So your alchy basically just farms himself befok and buys everyones Agh's upgrade for them. Rofl.

WTF... Sounds like I have some homework. Will have to see if these changes work or will break the game further.

 

[Purply]

Well after reading every single change, it would appear the "new meta" focuses more on the support than anything else as they will end up getting more gold, that along with most of the new items appear to be support driven.

I guess only time will tell which direction it will go, but from the look of things games should in theory not be dragged out as they currently are

I can't see the updates from where I am atm, everything is blocked by our proxy. Will have to have a look at it when I get home, unless Purply feels like mailing the list to me?

Do any of you play ability draft?

LOVE Ability Draft.

Yes, its not hardcore DOTA, but ability draft is fun and guess what - games are meant to be fun.

Shot - thanks dude!

WOW.... So many changes. It's going to take me a while to get used to them, but the one that stands out for me is the Centaur ulti. That is going to cause a LOT of misery to opposing teams.

Hope to see some interesting drafts of heroes most often looked over

 

[Slaught3r]

Pity they didn't nerf Troll. Broken hero is broken.

yep a bit tired of seeing troll and shadow fiend in every game

They did nerf him sort of but not nearly as hard as he needed it.

Yeah I saw, but expected something a little harsher.

 

[Ykv]

Yeah I saw, but expected something a little harsher.

He was nerfed indirectly pretty hard. But with all the changes it is very had to tell what will happen in this patch.

 

[porchrat]

Yeah I saw, but expected something a little harsher.

I wanted to see a significant cooldown on his bash passive like with Slardar. Either that or maybe a change to his fervor to stop it stacking so bloody fast. Thing is though that changing stuff like that attacks the fundamental nature of the hero. I just don't know.

I reserve judgement until I see how troll works out on this new patch but I suspect he is still going to be a problem. Lets hope I'm wrong because up until now troll has just been ridiculous.

 

[Purply]

It's very had to say what's going to happen with all the hero changes, especially the addition of multiple aghs upgrades for various heroes. Then add in all the new items.......going to be rough.

So far very happy with the new patch!

Loving the new compendium as well! Level 108
