Yeah I've only been playing since Allstars 5.84, so this is the first major change I've seen. Thanks for making me feel welcome to the thread, is it always this lively?

So is it impossible to kill tanks now? I got ran over in two games by tanks. DK is unkillable.

Nightstalker with new Phase is hilarious my friends. Also OD is a boring hero to fight and play, so I'm glad he was thrown all the way to the bottom of the dumpster.

Big stuff from 7.20 Huskar doesn't get increased magic resist as his health goes down. Bloodstone doesn't reduce respawn time and can't be used to deny yourself. Antimage magic resist/spell reflect rework, can reflect all targetted spells for 1.4 secs on a 15/11/7/3 cooldown without Agh's. KOTL has a new ult, summons a light that enemies within it's range are forced to look at on and off over the course of about 3 seconds. Lich had sacrifice replaced with the ability to force an enemy to walk towards him for 2.5 secs(channeled). Clinkz summons skeletons instead of eating creeps. Bounty Hunter now can steal unreliable gold on attacks. Meepo's geostrike got reworked into a lifesteal on hit that heals all the Meepos. Techies movespeed from 270 to 315

Enigma89 posted:So is it impossible to kill tanks now? I got ran over in two games by tanks. DK is unkillable. Im dumb and dont understand anything but the feeling i got as i read the patch notes is that Valve want fights to be a bit slower and have a bit less 'everyone suddenly explodes' . Also slow death of passive skills continues. E: also that techies change. Its... why even touch the hero to do that?

In general I think the patch seemed focused on making it lot easier to play a melee core. Lots of way to stick to a target instead of getting kited, like leashes, phase boots, more slows everywhere, etc. More status resistance stuff which is good for a guy like standing in the middle of a teamfight. Directly buffing almost all the melee offlaners.

Also just making poo poo more fun in general. Lich Sacrifice was good but not fun. Same with Tusk sigil and Bane enfeeble and the Brew miss chance spam thing. KOTL ult isn't brainless anymore and Dark Seer vector wall lets you make way cooler players. Game is just more interesting in general

Alchenar posted:E: also that techies change. Its... why even touch the hero to do that? His movespeed being so low meant he got chased down too easily without having any of the benefits that a lot of other slow characters have that can save them from dying or aren't as costly to use offensively. It's going to mean much less of techies getting hopelessly chased down. I like the change but I'd have rather seen his mines buffed so that they don't take 3 and a half seconds to go off if you have to drop them on someone's toes, 1.6 second explosion delay on the mines in general feels too generous as well.

All that matters to me is how these changes impact ability draft. Any of the new skills shoot to first pick status? I'm thinking maybe the Dazzle ult, Finger of Death, or Atrophy/Essense shift?

Yeah unless they gave Chain Frost its ministun back it's just gaze... I liked microing frozen sigil but if new Tusk is more 'fun' then I'm all for it.

Jesus Christ Slark is beyond dumb right now. It looks like you don't actually have to get the kill to permanently steal agility, you just have to have hit them once. Who thought this was a good idea?

It's only 1 agility. That's like 10th on the list of reasons why Slark is out of control right now.
