the new dota map is out. 6.49



.... here's a review

(i can't believe i'm spending time on this)



6.49 Changelog
===============
* Added a new recipe item (Armlet of Mordiggian)

(darn it. neither allstar or portal has its full info)

-Blade of Attack(650)
-Helm of iron will(950)
-Gloves of Haste(550)
-Recipe (700)
Total-2850


+15% Atk Speed(AS)
+5 armour
+9dmg
+3hp/sec

Activatable skill -
+40 damage
+25% AS
+5 armour
+25 str
-27hp/sec

its permanent till you deactivate it.
when you deactivate it. it has a 10 seconds cooldown before you can reactivate it.

Its totally imba.

firstly its cost is extremely low.
And -27hp/sec is no big deal.
When you use it you gain 475hp and 0.75hp/sec.Which takes 18 seconds to damage it off.

If you are a str hero.You gain 65 damage.
The total ehp you gain is 475+(0.06%x5+1)=617.5+1.3 of current hp.

just dun use it when you are low life. the 475 hp gain will increase by the % of your current life over the max life only. so its not a direct 475 hp increase.

the 27dmg /sec won't kill you or deny yourself like rot. it just leaves you with 1 hp.



* Added a new recipe item (Orchid Malevolence)
-Oblivian Staff(1925)
-Mystic Staff (2700)
Total-4625

+25 int(325 mana)
+35damage
+40% AS
+150% mana regen

Activatable skill-200mana 40sec cd.
Silence and amplify damage by 15% for 4.5 seconds.

------

Well.Kinda ex.Pugna loves this new version.
Silence helps alot. and the damage amplify is just sweet.
i don't think anyone would rush this.
A new wtf favourite.

* Added a new recipe item (Shiva's Guard)

Platemail(1400)
Mystic Staff(2700)

+30int
+15 armour

Passive Skill-
-25% Opponent AS aura

Activatable Skill->100 mana cost 30 second cd
40% ms slow for 4 seconds
200 damage.
Here's his AOE (click plz)
One unit can only be affected by it every 30seconds.

Well...Its slow is awesome.
Now INT heros with no chasing mechanism or are just slow like the ah pek can catch up with people now.
A must have for almost all int but one for each team.
__________


* Added a new base item (Javelin,139527)
Cost:1400
+16 damage
20% chance to deal extra 40 damage.

---------

P(an attack will deal extra 40 damage)=20/100=1/5
every 5 hits will give an extra 40 damage.
So its dmg increase is 8 per hit.
So total dmg increase is 24.
It wins claymore,which has the same cost but 21 dmg increase only.
It is MKB's new ingredient.


* Remade Power Treads
-Boots of Speed (500)
-Gloves of Haste(550)
-any one of each(Boots of Elvenskin,Belt of Giant Strenght,Robe of Magi)
-Recipe(350)
Total-1850


+65ms
+35% AS
+10 attribute

Activatable skill- Stats change
Click on it once to change
+10 attribute changes from each click.
A click on it changes it from +10 AGI to +10 INT to +10 STR and back to +10AGI and so on.
-------

Since it is not seen in league anymore... They changed it.They increased its price from 1530 to 1850.
The activatable skill is great.
+10 str = 190 hp
+10 int = 130 int
+10 agi = 10% AS + 0.7Armour

But remember. 190hp/130mp is increase by the % of your remaining life over your max life.
meaning ... if you have 1000 hp left and your max hp is 2000 which is 50% left.
you change to str and your health increase is only 50%
so you will gain 95 hp.
something like that.
So if you think your hero will need alot of mana/health/AS against a certain hero. You can change it.Or if you are running/chasing/ and you have not enough hp/mp, you can change too.

* Changed Monkey King Bar recipe
-x2 Javelin(1400 each = 2800)
-Demon Edge(2800)
Total-5600

I need not explain what does MKB does. it has no changes
Its old price is 1150+1650+2600 which is 5400
So its price increased by 200.

Good points->
By getting 2 Javelin first, you have more dmg to kill/farm/last hit.
You can get it in any order now. Last time we have to get the recipe last.

Bad points->
Quaterstaff is cheaper and easier to get.
Quaterstaff can be used for a bfly/oblivian if there is a need for change of build.


* Remade Vladmir's Offering
Changes-
From Recipe(1000) to Recipe(625)
Ingredients-
Recipes(625)
Ring of Regen.(375)*NEW*
Ring of Basilius(325+175=500)
Effect-
+5 Armour
+0.80% mana regen
+16% Melee lifesteal
+15% damage aura (from a 12 melee damage increase)

----

Its better now. RoR is a commonly used item but thrown away during late game.
15% damage aura is great for late game too and range heros.

* Reduced Ultimate Orb price by 50 gold

From 2300 to 2250

Now EoS is cheaper by 100 and linken cheaper by 50.
Now it can be found in the 2nd secret shop too.

* Mystic Staff price from 2900 to 2700 gold

Since the arrival of 2 new items which require this item and Aganimn's slight improve.This has to get nerfed.Its cheaper by 200.Obsidian and all int are very happy now.

* Reduced movement speed bonus from Boots of Travel by 5

from 90 to 85

BoT is just imba.
They should just nerf the cost.
Imagine everyone juking/binking and tele. no one would die at all.

* Reduced Linken's Sphere recipe by 100 gold

From 1425 to 1325
This item's total cost is reduced by 150.(ulti orb is now 2250)
Its total cost from 5500 dropped to 5350.


* Changed the second secret shop model (to Goblin Shop) and the shop's carried items

Now its bigger. i had problems clicking the small bitch and keep getting blocked by fog.Its cute too.

* Bottle and Ring of Basilius no longer shift positions in your inventory when used

nothing much to say abt this.its just suppose to be fixed earlier.
its just made for the better =D
but who would leave an empty slot on the first slot?

* Reduced Black King Bar cooldown from 100 to 85 seconds

fk. this is imba.
Magic immune for 10 seconds cd has been reduced to 85 seconds.
Maybe not much people like to use it thats why its nerfed.
i think we should see more of this in league now.

* Increased Kelen's Dagger of Escape cooldown from 25 to 30 seconds
same thing with the BoT and blink combo. Too many people flying around.

* Improved Bloodstone's charge regeneration rates
i'm playing single player so i don't know how much increase is that.
oh well. anyway this item's mini nerf shouldn't change much.


* Reduced mana cost on Hand of Midas
From 75 to 25

After spamming some people and you wish to return to base.but... your mana is not enough to use midas which requires spamming.
i've had rough times with this item too.but no one just seems to use it.
Anyway its price reduced to because of Glove os Haste
so its price is from 2010 to 1950.

* Lowered mana cost on Helm of the Dominator

From 200 to 75

I find it quite stupid to have a mana cost of 200 just to control a creep.
I used to play this item with Naix,PA and Lycan. whose mana is kinda low to control a freaking centuar/bear.
Now...
75 mana is no problem =D
its cooldown is still too long. maybe reduce it a little?

* Purchasing Bottle fills it to 2/3 instead of to maximum.

Another favourite item which is used it league.
and that stupid combo which allow people to stay in lane forever by selling the bottle to the secret shop and buying a new one.350 gold for 600 hp and 300 mana is worth it.Now we use a crow to send it back and forth anyway.


* Lowered Eaglehorn price from 3400 to 3300 gold

Too high.the second highest base item.25 agi for 3400 is just stupid. Agi isn't favourable anyway.
Reaver should be the most ex.


* Dagon's mana costs and cooldown now decreases per level
I love this i just recorded it.

Level 1-> 400 damage 245 mana 40 second cd
Level 2-> 500 damage 225 mana 36 second cd
Level 3-> 600 damage 205 mana 32 second cd
Level 4-> 700 damage 185 mana 28 second cd
Level 5-> 800 damage 165 mana 24 second cd

Its still to ex though.
but 24 second 800 damage nuke is gay.
Start of team battle cast.
Chasing cast again

* Reduced mana cost on Nathrezim Buckler

From 50 to 10.
Now buckler is rarely used unless its for mekan
it armour buff still don't stack with mekan and its mekan buckler combo is removed.
Maybe it can be used for countering deso.

* Euls and Guinsoo now share cooldown

Well this is somehow irritating

Ever seen bane/lion/rhasta disable 5 person?

Eul one,
Guinsoo one
Vodoo/Nightmare one
Impale/Shackle/Grip one
Necrobook/Ward Trap/Diffusial one

* Lowered Gloves of Haste price from 610 to 550 gold

Nothing to say abt this one.Now treads is good so it deserves this.Midas is under used too. and Gualet requires this now.

* Recoded Aghanim's Scepter. It can now be dropped, sold and disassembled. It also properly updates itself in deathmatch.

Now droppable.
Weeee.LION FINGER YEAH!~ *passes aghanim to Slayer* BOOM LAGUNA YEAH~~~~~
bullshit.

* Decreased Linken's Sphere cooldown from 60 to 40 seconds

This item required a nerf long long long long long time ago.
i hardly see anyone use it since furion sprout could just activate it and have its effect take place.And linken stops purification too.

* Reduced Hyperstone price from 2300 to 2100 gold
Great.Ac reduced price and everyone loved this.
* Remade N'aix

no comment.

i'll do this another day.

* Changed Crystal Maiden's Brilliance Aura to a global effect

.......... which is find quite stupid.

its aura stacks with ROB
and making it global... its team can spam like fk.2.4x mana regen wtf.

* Increased Acid Spray duration by 4 seconds

No diff. alchemist is still too weak.
NERF ITS STATS BACK

* Undid previous Jugg armor buff and increased starting strength by 3 and movement speed from 290 to 295

oh well.+57 str and 5 ms increase.
CHASE CHASE CHASE~~~~ NOOOOOOOOO MY RANGE IS TOO SHORT TO OMNI.

* Removed the invulnerability period while Priestess of the Moon is leaping

kevin... no more dodging with this

* Lowered Puck's initial Intelligence and Intelligence Growth

well... its imba from the start. i could harass anyone with my gay damage and mana.

* Lion's Mana Drain is now faster (same mana drain over 4 seconds instead of 5)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTT
i still love his infinite laning mana

* Changed Dark Rift from channeling to cast delay and reduced mana cost

YEAH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now it can be used for escape and not stop when it get stunned.its casting time was too long.
now it can cast and run . animation cancel!

its new mana cost is 75/150/225 from 150/225/300

welcome to league pit lord.


* Increased cooldown on Call of the Wild

now to 30/40/50/60 from 45 seconds on all level.

Well.. the piggy is too imba. and when it dies. it can cast again with its low mana cost.
* Increased Lich attack range from 500 to 550

more harassment.nuff said.

* Increased Pit Lord's movement speed and starting Intelligence

its new int is 19.6 from 14.4 and increase of 5.2/67.6 mana
its ms 305 from 295

like i said. welcome to league

* Improved cast and attack animation time on Broodmother

it amazingly hard to last hit with this bitch because of its animation.
i remember i was a sniper and had a mkb basher with me
the broodmother had a vladmir buriza mkb eagle
because of the minibashes. i got hit 3 times only.
wow.


* Decreased cooldown on Death Coil from 15 to 11 seconds

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM
we would rather spam shield... no diff.

* Rewrote Fissure to avoid Entangle and Impale based spell conflicts

never seen before this bug.


* Improved Chen's movement speed by 5
MY FAVOURITE NERF OF ALL!!!
RAWR! YOU HAVE 300 MS BACK! now you are same speed as your creep,

* Reduced Bristleback's strength growth from 2.7 to 2.2
finally. a nerf to the fatso.
his end game/lvl 25 str is reduced by 12.

* Reduced Poof's cooldown and mana cost

From
Mana Cost: 225/210/195/180
Cooldown: 60/50/40/30 seconds

to
Mana Cost: 140/120/100/80
Cooldown: 20/18/16/14

my clones have low mana cost. so i can't poof and net so much.
