Items of Interest?
We're also seeing some buffs to lesser seen items - both Shadow Amulet and Shadow Blade have received buffs respectively, with a longer duration on the blade. Rod of Atos has a lower cool down, while Eul's Scepter now does a little bit of damage. On the flipside of that though, Necronomicon sees the warriors get slower move speed, while also providing more gold upon being killed.Supports get some...support
What about the buffs to supports as a whole? It feels like there's a lot of love for those who have really dropped off, particularly Lich, Windranger and KOTL. Lina's attack range has been increased yet again, with Laguna Blade now going through magic immunity, ergo BKB with a Scepter. Leshrac's Lightning Storm also now provies a massive 75% slow for 0.5 seconds. Omniknight will become even more adored by his allies with Repel no long removing positive buffs when cast, including Guardian Angel.
It's not all good news for supports - Earthshaker has had his fissure creep blocking essentially removed and DK's dominant Centaur Warrunner now has a hefty mana increase, now being 130 at all levels. Batrider's lasso cost has increased by 75 mana, which may see his prominence in the pro scene curtailed somewhat, although trees no longer being shown as destroyed in fog of war should satisfyfans of the bat for now.As taken from:Ex-scepterional Ultimates
How about that buff to Abaddon on his Aganahim's? 'Aghanim's Scepter Borrowed Time now redirects 35% of all damage dealt to nearby allied heroes to Abaddon when active'. It's hard to see in action, but this should make Abaddon even more of a horrible hero to come up against in a teamfight - rumours that Goblak has gone out to party in celebration are unfounded. As mentioned, Lina's Laguna Blade now rips straight through a BKB with Scepter equipped.
Jakiro's Macroypre is now doubled in length by an Aghs, while Keeper of the Light may be the biggest beneficary, with the monster upgrade of a permanent Spirit Form, alongside getting the effects of 'unobstructed vision and Illuminate heals allies for 75% of the damage values' during the day. Shadow Demon now gets two purge charges, while Omnknight gets a longer Guardian Angel.
