"Dota [B]2[/B]'s 6.78 patch is live, is massive and gamechanging"
Eh v:v:v
Magnus is still fantastically broken, his abilities synchronise so well it's insane. Sure, Reverse Polarity now does a bunch less damage, but the magic immunity-penetrating AOE stun-and-group is ridiculous. Even Naix can't keep rolling through it, it's quite ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure a certain line-up of skilled players+heroes could make a Magnus-lineup have a hard time due to, for example, not allowing team fights, or not having Heroes easily caught up in Reverse Polarity, or someone who can soak it/bait it, etc.

Or you could just use a disable/silence him and he's pretty much out of the fight.

Magnus isn't that bad.
I'm surprised the only thing they did do was [B]buff[/B] sniper...I know he does have some hard counters but he is literally ridiculous early game, massive range, +90 damage with a high chance ministun, if you are laning against a squishy its a guaranteed first blood and his ulti gives you a guaranteed kill 90% of the time while ganking.
He has been picked so many games lately and everyone just seems to die to him early game, gives him a shadow blade then he can just rush around and snowball insanely fast, 1v1ing nearly any hero. Unless either the person playing him is awful or your team has a hard counter who focuses him then you're in for an extremely tough game.
The above isnt just speaking from playing against him, I find the exact same thing while playing him, its incredibly easy to pick people off and get a really strong early game. Its probably the fact that its pubs though so nobody counters.

Magnus and a few other heros got a pretty big hit with the bottle crow change. They aren't quite as effective in lane now because of it.
I hope they release this for Mac someday.
Heh, I heard Skeleton king's new skill called First blood :P
That said nice changes overall. Like the buff to vengeance.
[QUOTE=Coffee;40924373]Or you could just use a disable/silence him and he's pretty much out of the fight.[/QUOTE]
He's just about always got a blink dagger and his 1200-odd unit range charge, which keeps you all disabled. If you can find me an effective 1200-unit stun/silence that will activate before he blinks/RPs you, then I'd be glad to know how you use it.
Remember that he's only out of the fight so long as he's disabled, and that single-second cast time on his spells means that as soon as he's out of it he's long gone.
Of course, this isn't to say he's invincible, just that his potential for keeping your team disabled, and himself out of harm's way is amazingly good. His spells aren't instant casts, but they're also not as delayed as, say, Jakiro, so he's got a relatively easy time getting a combo setup before you can react.

Probably wont get any heroes whatsoever until TI3 ends.
It's been like this for a few weeks since the qualifiers started so...
