                  Terrorblade
                  Metamorphosis Movement Speed Loss increased from 25 to 30
                  While this is a buff, it also needs to be considered that illusion based heroes are nerfed overall.

                  Wait what?!

                    Not a Chen player myself, but my friend loves the combination of both his buffs and the siege creep buffs. (He loves the persuade 5 siege creeps and wreck buildings strat)

                        Ithink terroblade is nerfed -30 movement speed is definitely a nerf. which is okay the fact that tb is one of those top tier carries rite now or last patch

                          The comment about the treant nerf is incorrect: the root from nature's guise does interrupt TPs, much like overgrowth does

                            It seems to me that strength heroes favored in this patch. We will see more Sven, NightStalker, Axe, Alchemist, Bristle, Magnus, CK, DK in TI7 compared to Kiev Major.

                              Treant and terroblade portions fixed, were from an older, 3am draft. Also fixed some othrr formating issues, sorry!

                                    the new Xp Deny is SOOO huge when it comes to support! If played correctly, I think Supports will always get lvl 20

                                        Glad for the Naga nerf, its just a played out, obnoxious hero.

                                          Not even going to mention the UAM changes? You can stack desolator with satanic now! It's a dream come true!

                                            I think for a while Icefrog wanted to make the moment to moment gameplay a little more thoughtful, and the original jungle changes were a reflection of that. The problem was that instead of making it a more challenging feat to jungle, it became unprofitable altogether. It's a good rollback, but maybe the xp can be reduced a mite further to encourage extra ganks.

                                            As good as it is to see the jungle back, I think the further encouragement of lane mechanics is the biggest change to the game right now. The opportunity for a free farmer to gain xp just went through the roof, and denying creeps throughout the game is now a profitable strategy.

                                                  Right after the patch came out I saw a bunch of people complain about the change saying that if you can't land a ship you probably shouldn't dota. It's not that they're wrong, it's that they are missing the significance of the change, and Skim points it out perfectly.

                                                    I wish there was a dislike option. Agree with this very subjective article or not, you have to admit it was sloppy. I've quite frankly come to expect better work from this site.

                                                    ancient build lore

                                                      Soul Catcher in a huge AOE is such a sleeper change. You thought Fatal Bonds was bad? Prepare to die purple.

                                                        P.S :- Love this blog. Every time a new article comes out I let out a small squeal of joy. Keep it up my friend. Cheers!!

                                                        no handshake

                                                          A couple of hopefully constructive remarks:
                                                          - DENY MECHANICS: you could have mentioned as well that free farming in lane is now much more efficient than before; coupled with the decreased in creep vision it creates an imperative to gank the safelaner while doing it with more positional uncertainty
                                                          - SHRINES: roaming supports and offlaners mostly suffer from this change, which makes life a bit easier for cores
                                                          - NEUTRALS: you rightly point out that stacking is back, but an immediate consequence of this plus the points above is that trilanes are back, too
                                                          - ECONOMY: the change in gold lost per death makes it so that from level 10 on you lose more gold per death than pre-7.06

                                                            Regarding charge based abilities, doesn't Sniper's Shrapnel count as one? And wouldn't refresher refresh that as well? 14 stacks of shrapnel is somewhat comparable to an aghs blackhole IMO.

It only applies to those standing within the circle (Not positive on that point but I haven't seen anything to specify otherwise). In other words Sven has a more reliable armor buff for the team with a far greater uptime ratio.
