Let the flame begin!

Bullshit! Some hero got nerfed so bad and some other got powered up!

6.79: Added Sonic

Alot of changes that are uncodable in wc3 dota - R.I.P dota1

So many useless and dumb changes (on paper). Have to try it out on d2 test client a bit, yet the patch caused a lot of hatred against Valve and IF.

However if you wanna keep playing dota(2) you have to deal with it.

I don't think D1 is dead yet, IF said (in Chinese) that he will continue to work on Dota 1 on this link : http://t.qq.com/icefrogdev
Chinese guys asked him if that he will continue to update Dota 1, and he replied : Of course !

So wait and see.

By the way, I love some changes and don't enjoy others changes. I appreciate the aghannims's add (Thrall,Enigma, Skywrath...) but I feel weird for BS's change and the neutral camp's change...

Quite big changes, hope to see new heroes rotated into the pro leagues. Apart from the huge neutral changes, interesting changes:

OD
- Items no longer trigger Essence Aura

Batrider
- Base damage reduced from 48-52 to 38-42
- Vision reduced from 1400 to 1200
- Flaming Lasso cast range reduced from 175 to 100

Meepo
- Divided We Stand leveling rebalanced from 6/11/16 to 4/11/18

Rubick
- Added Aghanim's upgrade: reduces cooldown from 20/18/16 to 5, increases cast range from 1000 to 1400 and makes all stolen spells be considered to have their Aghanim's upgrade

Treant Protector
- Living Armor cooldown rebalanced from 15 to 32/26/20/14
- Living Armor manacost increased from 25 to 50

Armlet of Mordiggian
- Unholy Strength STR gain is provided over 0.7 seconds
- Unholy Strength has no toggle on or off cooldown

Linken's Sphere
- Linken's Sphere can now be cast on an allied hero to transfer the buff

Sentry Ward
- No longer gives permanent vision around it

Shadow Blade
- Shadow Walk cooldown increased from 18 to 28

Because of the neutral change trilanes will be useless now. Back to 2-1-2 pub lanes =/

The only positive effect this will have is "waking up" the competitive scene, so they develop new strategies again - which was probably the main goal.

Wait... so now wards and gem dont reveal Slark? WTF!?!? His ult is basically a guaranteed kill now, no defense unless you happen to disable him before he ults. That is fucking retarded. I'm not usually one to rage at things but... and i apologise for the profanity, but there is nothing else to say... THAT IS FUCKING RETARDED.

Wait what? I don't play DotA a lot but does Buyback prevents gaining unreliable gold (creeps, neutrals, etc) until your normal respawn time finishes means you don't get gold (except passive gold gain) until your death timer would normally be over? If so, that's pretty fail imo.

It's a good change - carries can farm up a good % of their buyback cost even if it was wasted.
