[badmafa]

Neat.

[kitchen]

frogs gonna frog

[Goaty]

excellent

[Geno.]

Doom is way too strong now.

[GodlyKha]

Harpys imba

So basically its a laundry list of changes and doesn't fix any of the fundamental problems with the metagame or hero designs by the wildest imaginations, but tries to balance it via sheer numbers. Its not a step forward, but maybe a necessity

Weak heroes are given numerical buffs, strong heroes are made awkward instead of fixed
Balance should be elegant

[Laocedric16]

ok, i'm dissapointed.

Slark
+6 Agility?
Magnus
-Slight Nerf
Sven
-Slight Nerf

[snow.pika]

Boring where are the remakes

[qmau]

[Soulzim]

Not what i was expecting...

[Geno.]

Drow Ranger, how you doing.

[jimmyvan]

finally we have a small but decent balance patch

[BlindMaiden]

Posting in a IceFrog changelog thread!

[Evermourn]

A small balance patch is what was needed. Nice.

[Geno.]

So many viewers in this thread.

GG Doom OP

[Julliant]

Sven's Warcry got more buffs? I thought it was the only OP component. It makes Dazzle's ulti look shit.

[ChexGuy]

Nice to see Rooftrellen buffs, but I wish he got a bit more.
