He's fun, that's for sure. It's hard to factor in how effective he is just yet but his pushes/ disables makes for some interesting crowd control.

Looks like they made Steam Boots +5 all stats with a +5 toggle... which is better but still wouldn't bring me over to using it again without the ias even if it was +10 to all.

I was using them for the awesome increase in INT they used to provide, but now I'm not so sure it's worth it..

yeah my computer is fixed so now i can play some of this.

so unused to this though ​. dota so much easier

Wait... Someone explain the "pro gamer competitive tourneyfag" logic that is being used behind The Dark Lady being buffed?

Her Dark Blades ability is clearly nerfed. You can't even argue about this.
And her ult is also nerfed. Sure it has a shorter cooldown time (by what, 30s?), and a slightly lower mana cost. And in exchange it only effects a small area of the map?

Unless there is more changes to her than what is in the patch notes... How can she possibly be better when she got nerfed???

This is what they are talking about.
