Yep. It's time.

Here's a 6.89 wishlist for debate/discussion/general ****posting. Those of you on Discord would've seen some of this earlier, but there's a lot of strange stuff in there otherwise;

Items



Note before I begin: While there are nerfs to serial offenders like Hurricane Pike here, they're not going to at all reduce its rate of purchase. I haven't actually done it in these notes, but I believe the solution to its ubiquity is to add a number of other items that fulfill similar functions, but in very different ways. Consider, instead of Pike, an item that passively supresses crowd control, as an example. These would ideally be priced similarly, so they are in direct competition.

- Black King Bar can now be upgraded to level 2. Level 2 Black King Bar does not refresh the spell immunity timer, but the minimum duration is 6.5 seconds.
+10/14 Strength
+24/32 damage

- Diffusal Blade can now be upgraded to level 3. Level 2 has been rescaled accordingly.
+20/30/40 Agility
+6/10/15 Intelligence
+40/50/60 mana burn (20/25/30 on illusions)

- Hurricane Pike recipe cost increased to 800.
- Hurricane Pike Agility bonus reduced to 15.
- Hurricane Pike cooldown increased to 16.

- Heaven's Halberd reworked.
Components: Sange, Hyperstone, Recipe(800). Total: 4850
+22 Strength
+40 damage
+55 attack speed
Active: Heavenburst: Unleashes a burst of energy of 500 unit radius that applies a 35% blind and a 10% slow to all enemies hit. Lasts 6 seconds.
Passive: Lesser Maim. Gives a 20% chance to slow by 20%/10% for 4 seconds.

- Heart of Tarrasque now has an active, trading the passive regen for 8 armour and 10% magic resistance while active. Lasts 6 seconds, on a 25 second cooldown.

- Infused Raindrops magic block reduced to 105.
- Infused Raindrops cooldown increased to 8.

- Rod of Atos reworked.
Components: Point Booster, Staff of Wizardry, Staff of Wizardry, Recipe(1350). Total: 4550
+225 Health and Mana
+10 Strength
+30 Intelligence
+10 Agility
+50% mana regeneration
Passive: Cripple. Attacks have a 20% chance to hit twice, the second hit dealing 85 damage and slowing movement and attack speed by 40% for 4 seconds.

-NEW ITEM: Izura (2050)
Ingredients: Staff of Wizardry, Robe of the Magi, Recipe (600)
+16 Intelligence
+50% mana regeneration
+5% spell damage

On that note…

Sange and Izura (4100)
Ingredients: lol guess
+16 Intelligence
+16 Strength
+16 damage
+50% mana regeneration
+5% spell damage
Passive: Greater Maim.

Izura and Yasha (4100)

+20 attack speed
+100% mana regeneration
+16% movement speed
+9% spell damage
Passive: Cosmic Maim. Grants a 30% chance to slow by 26%/13% for 5 seconds, and reduce the enemy's magic resistance by 6%.
Active: Exudes an aura of cold 300 units around the hero, that slows the movement and attack speed of enemies within it by 25%.
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

I remember smuggel saying how 6.84 would be called 7.0a

And i thought, maaaaaan. I need to troll the community with some patch progression.

So there you have it.


I must also take cognisance of my absence from here. Working hard has its own perils like my liver issues, but I came up with yet another patch to trigger folks and incite new ways of playing dota. Your game is going from defense of the ancients to the conquest of the ancients. It's not gonna be the same
Go On, Feed Me.
