Yeah true. Vengeful is pretty much horrible to play against. and Shrapnel is not that big of a problem allthough mana needs to be higher IMO.

They are talking about a bat in the vid so shouldn't it be with a bat?

Edited the title to be less misleading 8{(

Sniper will get some kind of laning nerf I imagine. It's the only really *********ty part of him (That's not an inherent part of his gimmick), that he lanes a little to well. By which I mean he's one of the better mid-laners in the game now. Probably just lowering the amount of Shrapnel charges you get initially.

Troll Warlord will obviously get nerfed hard. Like nobody will be shocked or disappointed by that.

I don't think Lina will get directly nerfed. But what I do think will happen is Eul's will get nerfed. Because the item is clearly too good right now.

Oh and more Oracle/ Earth Spirit nerfs on the aim of finally getting them to be fairer CM heroes. And probably Winter Wyvern going into CM.

Winter Wyvern in CM? Not in a thousand years...seriously he's probably the strongest of the "new" heroes right now. Cold Embrace is complete ******** :)

She's still closer than Oracle and Earth Spirit are. They are next levels of ********. Besides, it's easier to balance out Cold Embrace in this patch than to balance both of those heroes. And it feels like Icefrog likes to bring something into CM mode in major patches.

Other things that might get buffed; Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Kunnka, Huskar.
Other things that seem like they'll be nerfed; Eye of Skadi, Vengeful Spirit.

I would like one more little buff to cm and then I'm more than okay with her strength. Atm she is still great IMO but needs maybe one more buff to get her closer to comparison with other supports.

some boys here are still so mad at storm. so im just gonna leave this.

Shadow Fiend> Storm Spirit

@Blubbles

Everybody are sitting on the edge of their seats and you posted this as an official changelog? Maaan, come on.

What are the buffs that made SF overpowered? Other than an insignificant change on Necromastery and +25 damage on Shadowraze that is essentially only relevant when SF is level 2 to get the first few souls...shadow friend is still the same shadow friend as he ever was.

Storm got his ult's mana cost reduced by 30% which means he now has 42% more mobility than he used to, his only counter which is deathball strats got nerfed to the ground AND he now saves 1000 gold on his item build with the Soul Ring into Bloodstone. He got some ABSURD buffs, both direct and indirect, which is especially broken considering the "unfair snowball" nature of the hero.
