SF Arcana

[veiledy0]

I haven't even gotten to the specific hero changes and this already looks more like an expansion in WoW than a patch. Everything is changed rofl. Literally everything.

March no longer damages ancients
Only change I like: Geminate attack now procs items. Rest is too much.
Riki just got twice as bullshit.

Picking starts after a 35 second strategy period. Teams alternate picking. Whenever it is a team's turn to pick, anyone on that team can pick for themselves. Teams have up to 30 seconds to pick a hero. If the timer expires, each player that hasn't selected a hero will lose 2 gold per second. The selection will stay on this team until a hero is picked. Once a selection is made, it immediately switches to the other team to pick.

This is pointless. Half the team doesn't speak English anyways. May even cause more fighting and rage than usual 'cause you can't mute the dogs while pick screen is up.

I like the Rosh pit changes a lot.

This is a lot to go through.

Warlock is gonna be extremly potent in pubs now.
Razor untouched almost - good, 80% win rate with hero ;p

6.82, aghanim patch.

That pl rework, holy shit.

The change of type of damage is huge, bit dissapointed that the SF model rework that people were waiting for year is now a arcana item.

LEGION COMMANDER IN CAPTAIN'S MODE, BOYS. DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DU-DUEL!

On a more serious note I think Ogre is going to be extremely strong in the offlane now with the base HP regen change - he has the 2nd-highest HP regen in the game now tied with Nyx, I think.

Nice to see Razor finally on an equal playing field with other heroes in terms of no longer getting EotS when he respawns with Aegis, Weaver is now Bug Jesus (incoming MKB + Mjollnir lightning bashlord builds), Void, Doom and LC actually look pretty balanced in terms of passives not being disabled any more (only hero who can do it now is Agh's Doom, which I think is perfectly fine), and the Chen changes are just hilariously awesome.

I'm not too pleased about the addition of the Bounty rune, though. I realize they wanted to nerf bottle-crowing but idk it just seems like it forces extremely predictable fights at runes very 2 minutes.

Weaver is now Bug Jesus (incoming MKB + Mjollnir lightning bashlord builds)

Mjollnir still wont do much for Weaver because attack speed doesn't increase the amount of Geminate procs, but MKB (which I built on him after Deso 3/4 of the time) and Crit (never liked it on Weaver 'cause of Geminate) just got godlike. Crystalis may now even become better than Deso as a first damage dealing item (not in terms od DPS at the moment you get it, but because it can be upgraded while Deso falls off).

Vacuum cooldown rescaled from 28.0 seconds to 28 seconds

lycan grounded and cheap tps. ill take it.

[Drunkenvalley]

Holy shitstick, that Bane buff.

• Aghanim's Scepter Fiend's Grip now also causes anyone who attacks Bane while he is channeling to be afflicted with Nightmare

And lol @ Dark Seer.

Mouseover the Dark Seer change

Listening to the 2GD studio cast about patch notes. Aui2k is so unbelievably salty about Legion Commander.

Mouseover the Dark Seer change

I know! I was like... there's gotta be something going on lol.

- - - Updated - - -

• Reincarnation mana cost increased from 140 to 160

Hah! Soul Ring is dead to him now. ...Though I'm not sure if it's a really meaningful change otherwise.

[Jester Joe]

Mouseover the Dark Seer change

Yeah I was staring at that for too long lol

Pudge can turn faster for quick hooks now, nerf now pls.
:P

[Deleted]

tinker dead, lycan more than dead

[Deleted]

Some unexpected changes, some less so. I'm most looking forward to the new map, the rest will sort itself out as each time.

[Jester Joe]

TP cost 100g.

Oh happy day for supports.

I have to admit that is not the nerf to Tinker I saw coming though. Not sure if it's as bad as it sounds, seems like Tinker will just have to push into the jungle possibly rather than Ancients.

Also removes the benefit of Radiant Tinkers.


...now where's Diretide. :P

[Longview]

weaver buffs dont make sense to me

the hero was already super strong

[potis]

Patch of supports for me.

Or well, patch of Agha

I like the changes, makes many supports even more fun to play and in some cases rather awesome if done correctly (Phoenix Agha as example, or Earth Spirit) and the Bloodseeker changes/PL seem alright too but Bloodseeker seems more like a support to me now ;/.

[Underskilled]

Can't wait to see what people do with Sylla now, it opens him up to so many new item builds. I'd LOVE to see an onslaught of MoM and Medic Bears.
