4 minute day/night cycle is going to make Night Stalker a strange pick despite his buffs. 4 minutes isn't enough for him to get his morning farm and levels, he won't be effectively ganking in the first, brief night. The wards now ending their lifespan a minute before the cycle ends makes things risky for supports re-warding, too. The day/night cycle change alone is going to change so much in the game.
I feel pugna is going to benefit the most of this update considering the cooldown changes on various heroes including skywrath mage as well as his obvious buffs.
Lack of flying courrier before 3 minutes means that cliff tactics will be more rewarding in early game, that's a rubick buff.
I wonder on what kind of drugs was Icefraud while doing this patch. IT will spice things up a lot though. Also let´s hope more Axe picks.
Since Butterfly directly stacks with backtrack..
2 butterfly void would be so strong.
racecar bloodseeker
What does it mean you can dodge storm bolt and phantom lance?
Storm bolt is AoE so I assume it just goes to the cast point but still needs a target.
But what about lance?
- Poison Nova no longer ignores invis/fogged units
- Venomous Gale no longer ignores invis units
THANK GOD, FINALLY
I'm over here just laughing and rolling on the floor at these changes. This is looney tunes shit.
Bloodseeker with 1.8k movespeed guys!
Unlimited Skywrath ults guys!
Enigma that can teamwipe by himself guys!
Competitive is going to be bonkers shit. Pudge first ban against Na'Vi permanently.
Also batrider got mad hate in this patch.
BLOODSEEKER THE HEDGEHOG
GOD WHY DID THEY DO THAT.
TP AWAY FROM BLOOD, ALREADY HES WAITING AT BASE.
[QUOTE]Gold for ending a spree changed from 75->600 (3x->10x) to 125->1000[/QUOTE]
gives me no reason to call gg anymore
So.... Dagon on Riki will be a viable option now?
Phantom Assassin´s dagger damage now stacks with her ultimate´s crits.
I tested it and at lvl. 6 you have a chance of 15% to make a 350 pure damage hit, with a cost of 20 mana. And you can do this each 8 seconds.
ranged jungling time
How does evasion stack now? the same way as crits?
Are these changes in-game yet?
So Pudge can now use Blink dagger...
why
Test client first.
Axe ult doesnt go on CD if you kill someone?
"I say good day s-CULLED!-I say-I say goo-CULLED!"
Do people complain every patch?

4 webs and you get free contests* of the pull camp, full lane coverage, and can noclip to the rune. You can also just walk into the trees everywhere. It's like a permanent spectral dagger with half the map in range. Not even timbersaw can kill enough trees to find brood. If you don't have a full stunlock on her till she dies, you literally should never be able to kill her.
*Contests have been changed so you can always leach xp, but I'm talking CS.
aww I liked building Tranqs into Mek on occasion.
Holy shit pudge can now use blink dagger. My friends, be afraid.
Edit: Oh wait, then I looked at the notes below.
i like build tranqs into vlads on ursa
rip
Also skywrath's zero cooldown aghs, amazing dependent on picks.
