I didn't have time to watch anything, but Secret seems to have major drafting issues and Zai seems to have really terrible games more often than not. Guess the istanbul preparation didn't pay off.

Yeah there's a lot of really cool shit, including upgrades for people who don't have enough slots(BoT and the silver whatever that gives attack speed and you can consume it).

Love the support space stuff, both ward types stacking and Arcane+Mek into a better item, frees up a ton of space for that 50mins magic stick and bottle.

Lots of fairly crazy stuff, hard to say what's going to be more broken than the other. The agh upgrades are great but a lot of the heroes that got them are either poop or can't farm agh easily(Nyx agh looks godlike, but how are you farming an agh). The spell leech+reduced cd item is like WUT for strong int casters like Lina/Zeus.

One thing I like about a lot of the new aghs is instead of being derpderp more ultimate, they add new abilities that shift a traditional carry-like hero into a support with the agh. Lifestealer, Morphling, Weaver, Wraith King, Naga Siren, Alchemist. Note that a bunch of these were already played as support(morph recently, WK, Naga and Alchemist), but it's still a really cool way to design them I think, giving those heroes a true duality.

Techies Aghanim's Scepter upgrade now causes the Minefield Sign to make all Land Mines, Stasis Traps and Remote Mines within 125 area of effect immune to True Sight. Can only have one sign out at a time
TROLOLOLOL!

Of all of them, the Morphling aghs looks the most insanely OP. Aui was basically talking about how its a free aegis for carry Morph..not to mention you can do stupid shit initiating with him depending on your team

alchemist being able to give an permanent aghs to anyone while taking up no slot seems insane

Added Aghanim's Scepter upgrade to Centaur: Stampede reduces all incoming damage by 70% and allows allies to run through obstructions (trees, cliffs, etc). Destroys trees

That is ridiculous.....Roshan....surprise!!

Jesus. I've been one of the many people claiming the game has been boring the past few months, but all this takes the cake. This is all gonna be interesting...and take a while to learn.

Yeah HR vs. Tinker right now on 6.84 in DreamLeague.

Watched Waga play it for a bit last night and there are some hilariously gimmicky stuff you can do, a lot of which probably won't be relevant in pro. Will be interesting to see what happens between now and TI.
