    Massive changes here in this version:

    cant buy aegis anymore (roshan now drops a 1 ress charge aegis)
    Rapier can be manually dropped
    3 new items (Hood of Defiance, Assault Cuirass, Bloodstone)
    new atk and hero icons
    weaker roshan (gets stronger each time he respawns)
    DR/Aegis is no longer a good strat
    2 new secret shops for top and bot lane

    theres more but i think those r the main changes which will make the most impact on the game. (except new icons xD )

    opinions on it?

    I havent tried the new patch yet (stuck studying two midterms for tomorrow)

    The first thing I saw on the change log was bloodstone. Personally I think that item may be overly imbalance, as it serves almost as good as Dizzle&#39;s ult. Many int heros are used in competitive gaming and most of them can benefit from Agh and Refresher / Linkens ( Zeus / QoP / Orgi Mage / CM / Lina / Lion / Engima / Rhasta etc etc.. not to forget DOOM? <-- GG Early AGH / Refresher / Radiance)

    Pushing with INT makes it a whole lot easier with the death aura bonus + gain sight upon death + reduce spawn time.

    Other than that, this patch is pretty good.

    cant buy aegis anymore (roshan now drops a 1 ress charge aegis)
    -Roshan is nothing but a buffed neutral creep. Removing Aegis decrease game time by lots. Invis and Lothar users benefits lot from this change due to no more early Aegis Gem combo.
    DR/Aegis combo is still possible. If you can farm a DR, most likely u can take down Roshan easily and get Ankr. Camp Roshan with wards and kill it everytime it spawns. Controlling roshan is a big part of the game now (just like controlling mid for footy)

    Rapier can be manually dropped
    -Should have been like this long time ago, not that it matters now.

    3 new items (Hood of Defiance, Assault Cuirass, Bloodstone)
    -HoD and AC buffs melee heros lots, this is something I really liked. (but quite expensive to make + item slots)
    -HoD could counter the strategy I mentioned above. Antimage / Viper with HoD can get upto 75-95% spell resistance with HoD.

    new atk and hero icons
    Always good to see changes

    2 new secret shops for top and bot lane
    -This is a must as new items will be added in the future.

    Other things
    -Satanic has a nice buff now
    -Turning on and off aura to prevent creep push / noticable ganks.
    -Observers can view CS and etc
    -New modes improve the game for sure

    Hero still needs to be nerfed
    BristalBack !!!
    Shadowraze needs to increase per cast
    Butterfly might needs some nerfing after this patch. 30 Evasion is a crap load =o.

    GG this post is full of english flaws lol havent slept in a long time

    the new item ur talkign about is the Assault Cuirass

    stats on it:

    10 armour
    40% ias
    +5 armour aura to u and allies
    15% ias aura to u and ur allies
    -5 armour aura to ur enemies (basically a non orb deso added)

    so basically...

    15 armour
    55% ias
    a -5 armour prescence of the dark lord of ur own

    damn ownage if u put it on dps heroes.

    Roshan drops aegis, but it doesn\&#39;t giv the stats. just 1 ressurection charge.

    his quill spray was so stupid it barely took any mana it also had a passive action where if physical damage hit him it would shoot off randomly without you even using it. His damage reduction is crazy he can tank a whole team and his movement speed from his ulti makes him escape no problem. He can slow you to where you can barely move making you easy prey for ganks. Hes such a crazy hero.

    bristalback.

    although they nerfed their ms and set a value on # of quills can stack, it is still very imbalance. 40% reduce dmg is too much imo.

    alchemist sucks
    he was pretty cool when he came out
    but he really sucks lol

    can&#39;t believe anyone would say that he&#39;s imba
    is it because of his ult? hmm

    now BS ult is imba, feeder on your team and then it&#39;s just T__T a sad game
    POTM... haven&#39;t seen a good nerf on her yet too imba

    bs ult isn&#39;t imba....if ur too stupid to press the &#39;h&#39; button on ur keyboard then maybe thats why its so strong.

    they reduced the collision size of potm&#39;s arrow skill therefore making it more difficult to land.
