    1. Reworked Mortal Strike vs creeps. Grants a 9/11/13/15% chance to kill a non-player non-ancient unit in one hit and gain a charge counter. Can cast mortal strike to summon skeletons equal to the number of charges you have (max of 4/5/6/7 charges). Skeletons are not bound to you and will auto attack targets they find.

      maybe better in jungle ? probably good when used for pushing towers

      great in lane combined with hellfire blast

      • get ganked, if you have vampiric blast and get healed
      • easier to kill someone in lane, maybe this makes him great offlane
    2. Guardian Sprint moves at 700 Speed along the river at ability-level 4

      Big buff to roamer slardar.

      Soul ring also buffed, so this might make slardar top roamer.

    3. Shadow Raze damage reduced from 100/175/250/325 to 90/160/230/300 Shadow Raze now has a stack counter for each time an enemy gets hit. Causes the enemy to take 60 more Shadow Raze damage per stack. Lasts 8 seconds, gets refreshed on stack gain. (First hit does 0 bonus, next does 60, 120, etc.)

      seems like buff if you can land all 3 razes

    4. Every 5 seconds, a random enemy within 350 AoE will be shocked, taking 100/130/160/190 damage and getting purged (40% slow for 0.5/1/1.5/2 seconds, dispells positive buffs).

      Used to be:

      Razor moves with increased speed, and any abilities targeted at him are instantly countered with a jolt of electricity which damages, slows, and purges buffs from enemies.

      Seems like a big nerf

    5. Meat Hook can pull Runes back to you. Mana cost is refunded if successful.

      Interesting thing: go offlane and don't leave lane because you hook bounty.

    6. Spiked Carapace damage return mechanics now work like Blademail (still returns only once per enemy, does not stun the Spell Immune).

      does this mean you still will take the damage?

    7. Reworked Leap. Has 3 charges. Leaps a distance of 550 per charge. Grants you movement and attack speed for 2 seconds. Replenish Time: 60/50/40/30. Mana cost: 40. Movement Speed: 8/16/24/32%. Attack Speed: 25/50/75/100. Leap bonus affects only Mirana.

      Awesome. Seems like it received big buffs.

      Combined with agi movement speed - v hard to kill.

      Level 15 talent is strong. Level 25 ult talent is strong.

    8. Meepo

      Buffs

      used to be

      -3s Poof icon.png Poof Cooldown 25 +400 Health

      +25 Attack Speed 20 10% Evasion

      +25 Movement Speed 15 15% Lifesteal

      +15 Damage 10 +4 Armor

    9. Reworked Poison Touch. Targets a unit and releases a poison that splashes on nearby targets (like Ethershock targeting). Applies a DPS and a slow to the targeted enemies. Anytime a poisoned target gets attacked, the debuff duration gets refreshed. Deals 10/20/30/40 DPS and slows for 14/16/18/20%. Lasts 4/5/6/7 seconds. Affects up to 4/5/6/7 targets. Cooldown: 35/30/25/20. Mana cost: 80. Cast Range: 600/700/800/900. Physical damage type. Gets refreshed by the same target rules as Blink (player-controlled units and Roshan).

      this seems OP

    10. Bane:

      New cancer in lane.

      Nightmare when offlaner wants to attack, harass, repeat.

      Enfeeble steals damage, but may be relevant only if playing mid.

    11. Death Pulse kill HP regen multiplier rescaled from 10 to 6 Death Pulse kill HP regen duration rescaled from 7 to 6 Death Pulse HP regen rescaled from 1/3/5/7 to 2/3/4/5

      not really a nerf to necro as he gets annoying late game when team-fights happen

    12. Health

      Lane harass will be a lot more interesting. 50 dmg = 10 sec regen with Ring of health that's cheaper?

      Strength carry rejoice.

      Bloodcyka indirect nerf?

    13. Nullifier:New Item

      Riki new OP hero ? A mute works just like a regular silence, except that it disables active items instead of the unit's spells. Mutes usually come together with a regular silence.

      Go to items for melee carry. No more force staff, euls, blink, so looks good on PL, Lifestealer, Sven and other melee carries.

    14. +75% Accuracy + 60 Pure damage proc (the attack that procs the accuracy also procs the pure damage, pierces Spell Immunity)

      PA + Butterfly X 2 = win
