        I dunno, Templar Assassin and Wind ranger seem very strong, especially cause they were good last meta, now they have less competition as far as mid's go. They didn't get any nerfs like I predicted, so I expect to see them a lot. But I don't they have very annoying play styles, even if they're picked alot, they'll just be good, not annoying. Bloodseeker in the other hand, NOW THAT WAS ANNOYING, just tping every time you got ruptured so annoying af, especially him having one of the lowest skill caps in the game.

        I'm fucking psychic, I predicted Venge and Mirana would be the next supports who got buffed to point where they could become cores just like Lina and Lesh who got over buffed, and look what happened, no one played them support anymore, just core. Please tell me you guys remember me saying Venge and Mirana have the potential to be amazing in 6.85, cause they were already "secretly" good in 6.84! But yeah, anyways, no one cares. lol I remember saying supports just keep getting buffed and buffed.

        The only buff that venge didn't get that I was hoping for was an Ult rework, OR make it so it stuns the enemy for 1 second after they get swapped, so that way venge has enough time to run back and stun them, and not have the enemy run away, and lose half the distance of your swap for no reason, or maybe slow them if stun is too much.

          We'll see in the following weeks. I'm really liking this patch already, and I liked 6.84 as well.

                  If AM and PL aren't popular, then I get the feeling Medusa could rise to power as the feared hard carry. o_o

                  Soultrap

                    ^AM got buffed, because Battlefury is 50 gold cheaper now. Woo-hoo!

                    Mokujin

                      I hope to see Invoker in some official games

                      takodoro

                        I will go with 4.

                        TA, Bat, Invoker, Gyro.

                        Edited: PL is still strong especially with buff to zero cd purge.

                          Lina barely got nerfed, definitely still gonna be cancer till people realize that she wasn't that good to begin with. Same goes for Leshrac too actually.

                          Giff me Wingman

                            invoker, Batrider (competitive), balanar

                              CK, Riki, Spectre

                              evil

                                No experience with invoker, could anyone explain to me why he would be good now?

                                Mokujin

                                  I don't know why everyone is saying TA is strong, she is the same hero as before. It's just going to depend on what heroes are played in mid this patch.

                                  Livin' Real Good

                                    Yup, well see.

                                    Ariaflutter.Ataraxia

                                      TA is strong since midlaner is nerfed like storm or lesh, QOP get nerfed too. SF just still the same as before puck can't matchup TA.

                                      the nerf of everyone is buff to TA lol.

                                            medallion/crest nerf makes any armour reduction hero more viable as well to kill roshan earlier and faster.

                                                                How's tinker gonna be cancer, he was fucking garbage and only got a 0.25s buff on rearm

                                                                the realm's delight

                                                                  Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                                                    Quick maffs

                                                                          Lycan might see a comeback. Necro probably will see more mid action. Drow buff isn't significant for pubs at 3k. It's 2%, it's like 5 extra dmg when she's lvl 20, the main thing is the cd but that usually needs a visage or something to be very strong.

                                                                          Socram

                                                                            ф

                                                                                  Idk why people think the ck buff is so big. I guess with his illusions all hitting -armor is better than more crit dmg.

                                                                                                    Specter will be The new cancer, She was already really strong, and she got buffed. Riki, Ck, CM and warlock might also be approaching cancer status.

                                                                                                      #12

                                                                                                        With these buffs to her I might be able to make it all the way to 47% enchantress win rate :)
