.You now lose one gold per second if you haven't picked a hero after the selection timer runs out in All Pick

I hope she silences her target if she hits with marksmanship up... or something useful.

Nm just clicked the question mark and its garbage.

How is it a nerf? If it travels in a wave now (in my mind in thinking something like death prophets nuke) it should be easier to land on a larger number of targets, plus it now knocks the enemies back, which synergizes with her frost arrow.

So dust or sentries completely counter the hero now... just stupid. Lowest win rate in the game and they hammer her even further?

Because breaking the game is a good way to balance the hero. The meta is really harsh for her anyway, with all the ganking and splitpushing there's not much for a hero that just sits in lane

Shadow Shaman
Mass Serpent Wards can no longer trap Roshan

Thank god, cheesy as fuck. Also wish they would have changed to to not be able to trap heroes, fucking obnoxious.

Tusk
Secondary units hit by the Snowball now take the same impact as the primary unit [?]
Removed 50% threshold mechanic from Walrus Punch
Walrus Punch base crit increased from 3x to 3.5x

Tusk change is a big deal too

Happy to see shadow amulet finally has a purpose beyond waiting to finish SB. Tranqs still bad until they reduce the timer or penalty for creeps for or against.

Terrorblade finally arriving. Time to relearn how to play him. Whee!

You only lose your free pathing if the enemy has sight, which to me means that you have to be more mindful of your positioning. That is, unless vision from creeps breaks the pathing too, since they see through the fog of war. But for heroes all you have to do is stay near a open spot in the trees, break vision, and bail.

I agree with Zaphid that she is pretty out of place in the current meta though.

Also, WTF is up with reversing the effects on earth spirits abilities? That's gonna fuck with some folks' muscle memory, haha.

For ranked I started at 2700, dropped to 2400, back up to 3000 and now down to 2800 and I que for all 3 modes available. I don't think any make a difference and I don't think I'm a markedly better or worse player at any of the rankings, just luck of the draw really. Only real way to advance is in a stack IMO, otherwise just enjoy the games and the ranking will be whatever it will be.

Just had a Captains Mode were a Russian grabbed captain first who didn't speak, write or even ping the whole game. Picked 4 carries and Rubick and he banned Pudge, OD, Zeus and Timber. Other team picked DP and Bristle with first two picks. Game was over in 25mins

You play the game wrong, if a game is going full retard you can't go only half-retard. Farm up that Agh's on rubbick and nuke the whole team.

Finally, I always hated when this happened to me. --- Items that have been purchased while dead can now be sold, if that item was bought during the same death. Previously, no items could be sold while dead.
