The patch is here!

What do you think? Personally, I think the item additions are pretty good, balanced and usable overall. It's the scepter changes that I think will be pretty op. I'm talking about Storm Spirit's AoE vortex and Oracle 1s Purifiying flames.

Manila Major primary pick support - Oracle. Called it.

I'm glad they've made a new item for some more movement speed. Slow supports should be able to benefit from this to run from greedy carries.

• That nerf to Zeus (especially his passive) was a looooong time coming.
• So was a buff to Rubick, especially his passive, but it's still not good enough.
• So was the nerf to silencer's W. I'm a silencer player and I never understood why they kept buffing W in the first place. With at least 30 int stolen the hero deals so much damage even while playing support.
• No clue what's their idea with the change to Skywrath's scepter. I doubt anyone will be buying it now.
• No clue why they keep increasing stack count for Troll's Fervor, he's rigged enough.
• No clue why they keep increasing mp regen for Maiden, she's got much more than enough.
• I'm happy with the change to Abyssal Blade.

I'm also glad they made more intelligence increase spell damage too, finally non-stuns spells don't turn useless by level 20.

Overall interesting patch and certainly better than the last one despite the flaws I pointed.

She's never picked in competitive gaming because everybody
calls her a big creep, nothing more. Actually I haven't seen her a
lot these past few months in standard matches

Yes, Tinker buff ftw.

I've only skimmed over the patch but it's a good patch in my opinion. That scan feature is handy but its probably a lot more useful if they added a special effect on the ground too and not just on the minimap.

That new silencing item is imba. Even considering the price. All crit + silence + very short cd is too much. I like the new pike force staff though. It's neat.

Bloodthorne to kill every support on the map.
