Look at those crazy aghs upgrades oh my god:

AA's ult lasts 17 seconds. That's 994 damage that can't be healed during the duration.

Doom's ult becomes permanent

Finger of death 20 second cooldown

Necrolyte's ult will disable buyback

Omniknight's ulti becomes global and affects buildings. This includes the heal...

Brewmaster's brewlings now have crit and dodge

Silencer's ult is now basically also a 400 damage global



Edit: Oh, and Doom disables backtrack now. Still doesn't stop counter-helix though. Overall I like this patch a lot with awesome quality of life changes.

[jaxy15]

I like the Timbersaw buffs. Might help a lot with his mana problems.

[Marchosias]

I like a lot of that stuff, but there is plenty that just makes me think its way to stupid to be right.

Also bloodstone suicides left and right. and doom basicly means someone gets taken out of any teamfight, and don't get me started on refresher dooms.

Its just imbalance going all over the place.

[crazysheep]

Bloodstone suicides are tactical, doom has always been about taking 1 major caster out of a teamfight.

But you're right, some of the balance is way off. Expect some of the changes to be reverted in a 6.78a/b/c in the coming weeks.

Since doom also blocks passive abilities, it is useful in taking out melee carries...for example...skeleton king doesn't get to use his revive if he is effected by doom...but I guess we will see more dooms with boots of travel and just doom then sit on the enemy carry?

[Stworca]

PL nerf, Earthshaker buff against PL, Eul giving more movement.. What's not to love?

Drums recipe gold increase, that's what! 

Senty detection decreased to 800 will change things a bit. 3/2,5 lanes will become pain.

Only 745 - magic resist.

Skeleton Reincarnation works with Doom. But phase+drums+yasha racecar DOOOOOM (mandatory allcaps).

"only"

I'm more happy with the fact that Dragon form level 2 and 3 have poison finally. And the fact that Mirana's starfall will actually still fall twice if the first target dies. Things like that makes life so much easier. Spirit breaker got a free bash on his target. Slardar's bash is physical now. Bloodseeker got a gigantic buff. Huskarr got changed to become crazy.

A lot of items far cheaper too. Dagon, Force Staff, etc.

Wards got changed up a bit. Dust slows invis units by 10%.

So many changes. Hard to tell how things will be affected.

[aenri]

Yeah, only . But I am very happy about ease-of-use tweaks and standardization too (like deny xp range, tower last hit and so).
And dat Aghs, dat Aghs... dey be craazy mon.

Also not this patch, but I applaud the changes to orb effects (Unique... something) from wc3 dota like deso and mjolnir actually working with other orbs (and we got rid of orb item slot priority and other horrible things from old days as bonus).

Picks and bans are 2/2/1 now that a huge change and the bottle reducing the crow speed by 30% that pretty much kills bottle crowing.

Maybe not. I've seen teams with a separate courier just for the mid to bottle crow.

[Alkhemia]

well it still slows it down at least.

[Stworca]

How is the second courier controlled anyway? Do they shuffle around? 
If it's functional, it's a worthy investment to have a dedicated bottle courier.

[ranter]

Oh, this patch looks sooooo fun ^_^

It still nerfs it hard, reducing the aount of regen bottle crowing gives.

Control groups.

I need to try out Nerif, the Oracle he looks like he will be fun.
