Changed how Blink Dagger works. It cannot be activated if you took damage in the last 3 seconds.

da bin ich mal gespannt wie sich das auswirkt :o

Improved Sange and Yasha

s&y is um einiges stärker als vorher.... sogar auf vielen heros kaufbar

Redesigned Eul's Scepter of Divinity
* Redesigned Orchid Malevolence
* Redesigned Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse

euls, suckt nu finde ich -_-
orchid, ganz nett eigentlich :O is bestimmt lustig vorerst mit 3 oblivions rumzulaufen :ugly
guinsoo, ich will die alte euls ---> guinsoos build zurück


noch was: man nehem den schnellsten hero im spiel ( ck) - kaufe ihm BoT, s&y und euls ( was vom preis gar nciht mal so utopisch is) und siehe da ~~ 498 ms, fast haste

SNY is mMn ein ziemlich starkes item nun. 16% ms 16% Maim sind einfach nur heftig für jeden chaser. finde es auf chaosknight sehr stark.

das neue euls is auch kewl man hat unendlich charges die aber nur 3 sec disablen. dafür gibt es noch 20 MS (DAS PERFEKTE RHASTA ITEM) mehr ms für den kerl und er kann nun IMMER surrounden mit euls :ugly

neues guinso is auch ganz nett für alle nicht int heros.

das neue orchid is auch lustig oO 3x oblivion sonst nix mehr = einfach zu erfarmen.

invoker (juhu, nicht mehr so imba wie früher sein ulti hat auch cd)

dagger is halt nun stark genervt worden. und qop blink auch etwas.

das neue terrain is sau cool und die neuen creeps (hab ich viel spass mit pudge in der neuen gegend :D) creeps pullen jz auch top lane richtig nice !!!

alles im allem trotzdem ne geile version

invoker imo etwas zu imba, und er hat nicht so viele spells wie früher, es ist anschienend egal in wekcher reihenfolge man seine 3 buffs used

waldcreeps rework naja, toplane scourge kann jetzt hart pullen oO

auch sind standardcreepspots weg, sprich die gnolle und 2 range+1melee spots sind auch weg, wölfe sind noch behinderter als vorher geworden und der slowcreep naja, ensnare ist auch ganz interessant

guinsoos hat jetzt nen 20 sec cd dazu mal nichts, euls ms boost ist nice und sowieso duie items mal zu trennen ist ok, auch wenn cyclone mb 0.5 - 0.75 sec länger sein könnte

bottle ist ok, für den nerf kann man sie jetzt halt wieder voll kaufen

s&y wurde noch mehr zum allround item mit noch mehr ms

dagger nerf needed, hat schon sinn das nur blink heroes easy abhaun können, aggresiv kann man ihn immernoch usen(außer vs dirge mit aura 4~~)

jugger ulti nerf war nötig, enigma buff naja

qop blink buff tzz dann auch am blink plz

tb meta buff omfg

midas auf stufe 5 creeps satry hellcaller gibt so 300??

drow hab ich noch nichts gesehn

crow rework geht auch, jetzt zahlt man hat extre dafür, dass man wards mit ihr planten kann, aber früher hams auch die heroes gemacht

die impale reworks funktionieren hoffentlich auch endlich mal, hatte heute/gestern wieder 2 games in denen mates deswegen sich mit sk in den tod gestunned haben :>

luna lucent beam buff ist ok, ulti an beam naja, der normale beam ministun klingt ja gut aber 0,6 ist nicht viel, dafür hat das ulti garkeinen mehr

mit dem sata recode kann luna auch nicht mehr den uberleech auspacken

dagon buff LOL


so das halte ich vom patch

irgendwie finde ich den invorker sau schwach, ulti hat 30 secs cd und egal wa sman kombiniert es kommen bei mir nie mehr als 10 verschiedene spells raus und selbst die sind net sooo stark
ich habe keinen vergleich zum alten invorker, weil ich die vers damals verpennt habe, aber imba is der keineswegs
außerdem is sd ein sehr sehr geiler mode !!!!
