I for one do not like a lot of these nerfs, IMO its too many to handle at one time. Some of them we not needed, like Naga Sirens SotS' duration. How do you all feel about these "changes"? good or bad?

We needed the nerfs to keep it interesting, there are only so many things you can do when the heros aren't changing. Hopefully this is still fun.

Thought so.

Either really good, or really shitty.

He's Imba'ed like a mother****er, but if you know what you're doing, you'll dominate completely with him. Else, you're pretty much screwed cause he has nothing that's like..."good for newbs" pretty much

Wat does it matter wat we think as long as we can adapt to new map. It not like we haven't been through one map change.

the nefts ruin the feel i cna t keep ttrack of them all, most heros signatures movers were ruin, and therefor ownge heros are now dead heros, such as saldars stun, the stomp stun was lowered, that means less time to perma stun, thsat means saldar is bad in most cases, another example? bounty ww doesnt give ms boost, which happens to be his chaser move. and track bonus speed is absolutally horrible. anther instance? snuiper scattershop dmg reduce, that was his key nuke/farm move. the map is bad too, its bluky and has an odd awkward feel to it. im disappointed. they better get smart and fix this bullshit.

There you go, poor little greg now has not many bugs to exploit and kill noobs with. *waits to kill Tiny ally toss out of bound bug*.

Its obvious that Icefrog was either on crack or he didn't know what he was doing so he smashed the whole game with a nerf stick.
