Tenacity making a migration to Dota2
Shrines dead
Jungle no longer gives EXP (hopefully gets bad players out of the jungle)
Evasion no longer hot trash lategame (just mostly bad) since MKB no longer gives true strike

already said before but these are some LoL-rear end looking heroes

i think they're running into a 'simpsons did it' issue wrt league-like hero designs

I think dota is significantly different enough from league with both major gameplay mechanics and developer vision that they could wholesale import / swap heroes, items, and mechanics and still be completely distinct games.

Bring on the New Meta

quote:

AEON DISK:NEW ITEM
Requires:
Vitality Booster (1100)
Energy Booster (900)
Recipe (1750)
Total: 3750

Provides:
+250 Health
+250 Mana
+25% Status Resistance (Reduces the duration of effects like silence/stun/disarm/root/fear/etc. For DPS debuffs with slows, it instead just reduces the slow values, leaving the damage amount unaffected)

Passive:
Whenever you take damage and are below 80% health, you apply a strong dispel on your hero and you gain a 2.5 second buff that reduces all incoming and outgoing damage to zero. Cooldown: 100. Only triggers on player-based damage.

Morphling and Antimage spill into the lane, just as they spill into their silk corsets, both taxed to contain them.

I honestly hate the look of the new heroes. They look soooo dumb.

Overall,t he patch notes are a mixed bag as always. I don't get why a lot of changes were made, and the nerfs to solo queue supports by massively increasing the price of courier and wards is dumb.

On the other hand, EASY MODE AND RANKED SEASONS? ONLY TOOK YOU SEVEN YEARS VALVE.

Jungle not giving EXP is not going to get bad players out of the jungle.

How is the price of the courier a nerf? You don't have to pay to upgrade it to flying anymore for a slightly higher initial cost. It's less gold total. Unless your point is that the extra 100g initial gold outlay is more important, but for solo queue support I don't think that's true.

You also have a free tp now as well.
