        I disagree on the observer ward changes. I feel that with if dewarding becomes more prominent, supports will have to spend more money and it will be even harder for a support to get any items. Even if there is no dewarding in say a pub game, I feel that supports will still have to spend more money with the limited duration. Supports already have a small amount of money almost all of the time, and couple that with buying sentries to deward means very very late items on supports (in my opinion at least). If this is actually supremely incorrect, I have only 300 hours :P

          The ranged creep experience increase is also a subtle buff to Lich.

                            as a mirana player, i expected the scepter to be like "for 5 seconds hero will attack freely on a target while moving". do i ask for much?

                              Under the Beastmaster section referring to day vision granted by Call of The Wild, there's a small typo. "untis" instead of "Units"

                                Under the Earth Spirit section, "amounts of damage" should be changed to "amount of damage"
                                Under the Legion Commander section, "the Disarm Mechanics" should be "Disarm mechanic"
                                Under the Outworld Devourer section, the "top20" should be changed to "Top 20"
                                Under the Silencer section, "Aghanims Upgarde" should be "Aghanim Upgrade"
                                Under the Tower section, "slowdown" should have a space

                                      How are the changes to Diffusal Blade "A rather strong buff to the mana-burning aspect of the item on regular illusions heroes with the exception of Phantom Lancer"?

                                      It's certainly a nerf to PL (I don't understand while he even needed a nerf) but isn't it also a lesser nerf to other illusion heroes that use Diffusal Blade?

                                      Peachrocks

                                        This patch is a nightmare for pub supports... things were already really rough, stats prove people hate playing the role and therefore don't understand it and now it's just got worse...

                                        The warding changes although good for higher levels of play will just mean supports spend more time warding and less time doing anything else which in turn lowers their impact. The amount is scaled to make costs the same but the bigger cost of wards is in placing them, not buying them.

                                        Unlike previous patches which added Glimmer Cape and Aether Lens there's nothing like that at all this time around. All the new items are very carry based, even raindrops which becomes available at three minutes and put massive overload on the courier because almost everyone will want this. 0.85 mana regen for that cost is pretty strong as is especially in the early game, then you have the other benefits too? Then you've got the new health increase? Which makes ganks harder? Which is what some supports are good at? And carries will have priority over the 'servants'. Geez man... I have massive reservations about this item.

                                        Wind Lace is sort of interesting, but supports having to carry wards and possibly dust and/or smoke means their slots are already very stretched. It does build into Eul's if someone else goes Drum but that's not a good fit on every support hero.

                                        Don't get me started on Saber. That thing is going to be silly as hell. A 100% slow for 0.6 seconds on top of the already absurd damage the likes of Sven and Faceless Void do? On a short cooldown? I sure hope supports like death!

                                            Huh can't wait to try out the echo sabre. Also getting fb might become easier with wind lace (ex. jugg). And the Shadow Fiend aghanim upgrade is a lot better than. I agree that it should be bought now because of extra 10 souls (hoping for 12) means even more damage from ult and right click. Also the ult has gotten a bit of a buff which is nice. Might go and play sf more from now >_<

And what is gonna happen when Pitlord comes in play? Its gonna get picked every game for first week or so, then gets forgotten cause nobody knows how to play new hero. So, please, stop being crybaby and concentrate on what you have offered.

                                                                                            Scepter was never really intended for a carry Morphling, it's meant to be a utility item for support Morphling. If you look at the past patches since 6.83 when the max stun was upgraded from 3 seconds to 4.25 you will see a pattern that they are trying to make Support Morphling more viable.

                                                                                            They have dropped the cooldown from 140 (when scepter was introduced) to 70 seconds. They have buffed the base damage of Adaptive Strike, because with the Strength Support Build it wouldn't do any damage (though the 4.25 second stun makes up for that). And now they have buffed the replicant damage to make up for the creep-like damage support morphling might have.

                                                                                            Morphling is like an Orge Magi but bulkier, further range / longer stun, and more escapes.

                                                                                            Plus with the huge buff to Axe, being able to replicate him from either an enemy to level the playing field in a team fight or as a second spinning Axe is huge. Being able to split push with Replicant Axe is quite strong.

                                                                                            So whenever an Axe is picked for either team, support Morphling would be a great addition.

                                                                                            კომენტარი შეიცვალა
