Not sure about the courier morphing, that sounds a bit pap

 

Witch Doctor got a buff - Yus

Tide Hunter got a nerf - Boo

 

Moved Rosh...I like that

 

Glyph now reset when you lose a T1 tower - thats cool

 

 

What do you think?

...oh yeah and runes top and bottom at the same time with a new rune...not sure about this but I reckon supports will now be expected to cover a rune at :00...you'll still need wards poss though as mid hero will want to bottle the usual rune and just take the bounty rune I reckon

Thank god Tinker is nerfed. Was such an annoying hero to play against...

A lot of cool ags upgrades! Timbersaw has double the tree killing power! Chen can literally tame dragons!

And the map's been changed! It looks so different at Rosh's pit!

* tries to make snappy remarks on Dota

* fails to address Dota heroes

The changes themselves were part bullshite (why can Chen get ancient creeps, but not Enchantress?), part game changing (Sven with aghs -> +80% damage for all in 900 range while ult), part "wtf is going on here???" (courier).

I like most of the update. But spawncamping is harder now, and I can't force my frog courier on everyone.

2/10

I played it for the first time last night. I was surprised when I saw two hero's unable to take down a T2 tower, couldn't get it below 25%ish. Like the new runes, although I think the bounty should have a 50% chance of spawning. I like that if you don't rake a rune in two mins it is replaced by the next rune.

Just watched a video on the phantom lancer. I'm going to learn that hero next, holy cap it's op.

PL was always a great pusher, but he needs farm. The only thing to get him down for sure was someone like Enigma, Disruptor and such, who were doing a lot of AoE damage while making sure you can't escape.

 

Towers melt in front of a farmed PL:

I'm just glad after watching that video that he has a counter (on a carry) in the form of a Crimson Guard.

When the CG is active it means PL's illusions do zero damage for 9 seconds.

Ooooh... right... the new vanguard upgrade... totally forgot about that.
