Major's over, should we be expecting 6.87? in General Discussion

    It's about time.

      This patch isn't that old yet. I would guess another 1.5 - 2 months

      Livin' Real Good

        Might be another month sadly.

        6.83 was cool cause it had fun meta heroes, and lots of hidden secret meta heroes (like Lina until she got noticed in 6.84) Sniper didn't really matter to me, he was easy to kill, nice and squishy. I guess I like the late game meta in that patch cause solo pick offs happened a lot more cause there was less grouping.

        6.84 was godlike, insanely fun, TI was in the horizon, things were all positive vibes. (fun mid heroes, Storm, Lina, Queen, SF, Leshrac, Wind ranger somewhat, TA, somewhat)

        6.85, dull patch, but not that bad.

        6.86, not dull, a solid patch, but nothing as fun as 6.84 was, only thing I hate is Spectre, she's the first hero of a meta who has ever annoyed me.

          OD, slark, invoker, spectre, ursa, zeus, np nerfs incoming. and bye bye dota addiction.

          Livin' Real Good

            I don't think Slark's getting nerfed, the hero hasn't been changed for the past 3 patches (not nerfed or buffed) he's a pub stomper, so they'd never buff him, cause he'd be ridiculous, but in competitive play he's pretty balanced. The only reason he might be extra strong in pubs next patch is cause all of his carry competition that has been getting nerfed the past few patches, while he stayed the same. Same with Wind ranger and Templar Assassin, it's a matter of time for them, their competition is getting nerfed, bye 6.84 mid heroes, and bye 6.86 mid heroes soon.

              Next one might be the last patch before TI which means all the fun to watch heroes will be buff. Storm buff guaranteed

                My predictions

                Heros to be nerfed:

                Popular in competitive

                Invoker further slight nerfs
                Earth Spirit further slight nerfs
                Gyrocopter further slight nerfs
                Chen slight nerf
                Witch doctor slight nerf

                Popular in pubs

                Invoker further slight nerfs
                Spectre nerfed
                Zeus possible slight nerf

                Heroes to be buffed:

                Popular in competitive

                Beastmaster another slight buff
                Bane further buffs
                Disruptor further buffs

                Popular in pubs but not in competitive so are going to be even more OP/annoying in pubs

                Pudge buffed again
                LC buffed again
                PA buff
                Slark buff
                Necrophos buff
                Omniknight buff
                Abaddon buff
                Riki buff

                Not particularly popular in either

                Winter wyvern slightly rebuffed to try and be a bit more viable, still will have useless ultimate.
                Elder Titan further buffs
                Brewmaster buffed
                Terrorblade slight buff
                Oracle even more changes which alter almost all his skills again
                Leshrac slight buff to move him back into situational viability
                Naga Siren buffs (I will abandon dota forever if this hero ever reaches fotm level)
                Arc Warden buff
                Lycan buff
                Phoenix further buffs
                Nyx Assassin further buffs
                Pugna further buffs
                Timbersaw further buffs
                Centaur warrunner further buffs
                Warlock further buffs
                Jakiro further buffs
                Doom slight undoing of the nerfs (probably buff to devour or infernal blade)
                Clockwerk buff
                Puck further buffs
                Tinker further buffs
                SWM further buff
                Magnus further buff
                Kunkka buff
                Venomancer big buff probably incoming - this was one of only 4 of the non-banned in captains mode heroes not picked at Shanghai major the others being meepo, sniper and storm, despite the fact that venomancer has been buffed repeatedly in every patch since 6.82 (apart from 6.83 were he received no changes).
                Ogre Magi buff

                Probably some more changes but I'm getting tired at this point.

                Item changes:

                Some random item removed from sideshop
                Another random item added to sideshop
                Blademail duration increased from 4.5 to 5.
                Cripple (rod of atos active) will now grant units that attack the target 50% accuracy up from 40%.
                Heart of tarrasque HP regen increased to 5% up from 4.75%.
                A couple of random items which are more or less popular have their cost increased or decreased from between 50 to 200 gold.
                Drums of Endurance active movement speed increased to 15% up from 13%.

                                            Kratos..!

                                              What is wrong with LD..why the hate? He is pretty balanced.. He isn't broken like OD

                                              Niggachu

                                                ^ You mean like Invoker.

                                                Kratos..!

                                                  I think invoker is OK after the defeating blast nerf.. He is still a little overpowered..but rightly so because he has 10 skills.. He is supposed to be better than other heroes.. But OD man..that thing is just too much to deal with

                                                  dunce

                                                    i dont think invoker is terribly op, just a strong hero

                                                    Niggachu

                                                      Bro, Invoker has pretty much the best stat gain in the game, plus, the fucking orbs give him a lot! There is no hero in dota that has 4(four !!!!) +primary stat gain/lvl. Wtf is this shit???

                                                      Kratos..!

                                                        Pugna has 4.. Centaur has 3.8.. As @inx4c said he is just a strong hero.. And he has 38 base damage..

                                                            I don't think they really need to nerf anyone, just buff a couple other heroes.

                                                            -Buff sniper, reduce the shrapnel cd, reduce the activation time.
                                                            -Buff troll warlord, give back 15 dmg on melee form
                                                            -Buff dk, increase stun range a bit
                                                            -Buff storm, just revert his last nerfs or something

                                                            -Nerf OD a bit, but not sure how. Maybe just reduce orb int steal to 2/2/3/4? Maybe reduce the dmg to 5/6/7/8%?

                                                            Синячий патруль

                                                              Another nerf of od invo , spectre and sven
