Huge release in DotA and the changes are going to follow in DotA 2 soon as well.

DotA 6.75

Dark Seer lost a lot of legendary status with the nerf to vacuum so it can't pull invulnerable units anymore. I.e. epic Naga ult -> Vacuum -> black hole/Echo Slam/Earth Splitter combos are now gone

Im quite exited about the changes to SF and Doom, also Lycan kinda just got punched in the dick. Jakiro and NA changes are nice as well.


One of the PL changes seems like a typo.
"- Agility growth increased from 2.8 to 4.2"

I sure as hell hope not!

Also Naga and Phantom assassin got pretty nice buffs!

EDIT: Treant protector is now Heimerdinger

I just checked the dota heroes page and that 4.2 agility is the real deal. Straight up 1 more agility per level than TB

What inte the fucking fuck? That's just insane.. He wasn't actually weak before.

I really like the changes a lot. Makes so much more heroes viable in competitive play, while balancing out others. Lycan's jungle seems much more counterable now and he really needs to adjust his early jungling, maybe getting to pull a stacked neutral camp to quickly gain xp or something like that. I'm really looking forward to see how it affects competitive play and especially the draft.

There are lot of seemingly minor buffs / nerfs that actually could be a big deal, such as Clockwerk's Cogs and Disruptor's Kinetic Field countering Force Staff. Or Brewlings no longer being unaffected by Black Hole (Enigma buff, Brewmaster nerf).

What are you talking about Naga Siren got nerfed pretty hard actually. I think you meant Nyx Assassin.

PL in comparison to other carries wasn't a great pick-up, although I also was surprised by the amount of extra agi. He probably doesn't even need to build for Radiance anymore, but could just straight go Heart, Diffu and Manta now.

Black King Bar
- Can no longer be sold

whoa. so no more selling and buying a new one when it's fully decayed? Or at least it'll take a lot more gold to get a new one.
