power tread nerf makes it pretty useless now imo...
don't be silly. now you're gonna see heroes like tiny, shaker, na, lina, [insert any caster that has sick early game nukes which were balanced by being too expensive for his starting mana pool] just get treads, bottle and magic dick, then go on beyond godlike streak while spamming skills to farm and never going back to the fountain. ever. seiously. 16 int + 3 from magic dick and that's more than 3 nulls... and you only loose 2 item slots, so you can get scepter parts in the empty slots for even more mana.
i'm srs, casters got sick buffs with this, along with the nerfs to pipe and heart.
also, str dps-carry heroes got a great new item, mjollnir. tbh, i don't know why anyone would get radiance anymore, this item is soo good and builds up so easily. best part is that it works with dk-s ulti, he hurts like hell now. with bb-s ulti changed to +80 dmg at lvl 3, he's going to be a top ban, i'm pretty sure of it. alchemist might be a viable carry again, lycan too.
on the other hand, tank-carries like axe, necro and dirge got owned hard with the hot nerf as well as no more armor on phase. i like this a whole lot. playing vs an axe with hot+hood who just regenerates everything while slowly killing you with helix was insanely frustrating. and nobody wants to play/watch fights that last for 10 min straight. vanguard is actually useful now since hot sux, i guess linken's is to an extent too.
furion got a ton of buffs recently, i like this. now he can use wraith from the fountain before tp-ing to jungle. also, you can ks a lot with it, rofl.
new phase will make jugger a monster, along with those str carries with mjollnir i mentioned. it's a good change, armor on phase was a very cheap way of getting it and dps heroes suck enough without having to focus every int hero for 45 second straight just because 20 armor from shiva + phase counters 3 tier 4 dps items the carry has.
qop got great buffs, she's now probably the best int hero in the late game. once she gets scepter, lvl 16 and some mana regen, she is stronger than she was before the nerfs: longer blink range, lowerd cd-s on her nukes, higher ulti dmg (for the money spent, she needed 6000 for scepter and it had the same bonus dmg). |
