Some Hero
Details: ------------------- This is not a full list of changes, see the
above changelog for that. These are just some of the changes in more detail.
++ Keeper of the Light
Illuminate: ======= It now
gives vision gradually as it grows in the area it is "illuminating" rather
than at the end. Fixed Illuminate's interaction with Cliffs and units very
close to it
Mana Leak: ======== In short, a mana rupture. The
numbers are 0.035/0.04/0.045/0.050% of total manapool drained per unit moved.
So, if the target moves 700 units, at level 1 it loses 24.5% of total mana
pool.. at level 4 it loses 35% of its total mana pool. Duration of the buff
is 5/6/7/8
If the target runs out of mana, the effect stops and the
target is stunned for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds.
Chakra: ====== Increased cast range(500->900), lowered
cooldown a bit(19->19/18/17/16 seconds), rescaled manacost
(40/80/100/120->40/55/70/85), removed the damage bonus and minor health
regen.
Spirit Form: ============= Morphs into a new unit, same
stats/items as kotl. Gives him extra abilities. He has ALL his abilities in
this new form.
Blinding Light: -Targets a 650 aoe. Causes units in
the targetted area become blinded, causing them to miss 80% of attacks for
some time. Knocks back units 250 distance over 0.4 seconds. -Cast Range:
600 -Mancost: 50 Manacost -Cooldown: 20 seconds -Duration: 3/4/5
seconds
Recall: -Teleports an allied hero to you after 5/4/3
seconds. If the unit takes player based damage in this period, the effect
ends. -Mancost: 100 -Cooldown: 40
Illuminate: -Causes
illuminate to self charge when cast in spirit form. You can discharge it by
clicking on a temporary replacement icon that appears in your ability card.
++ Enchantress
Untouchable: ============ It now
is a normal skill and scales 30/50/70/90% from 50/70/90%
Enchant: ========= Creep control duration reduced from 120 to 80
seconds.
Impetus: ======== This is now the ultimate. Bonus Damage
15%/20%/25%, Manacost is 55/60/65 and Cooldown is 0 seconds on all levels. As
an ultimate it now pierces magic immmunity
++ Bounty Hunter
Track: ======
The movement bonus is now given in an area
around the tracked unit to all allied units. The bonus bounty is given to
bounty hunter as long as the target dies while under the buff, the killer is
not a factor. See tooltip for more data. Costs 50 mana all levels.
++ Broodmother
Spinweb: ========= Reduced
vision Cooldown from 90/75/60/45 to 90/70/50/30 seconds Manacost from 140
to 50

++ Beast Master
Call Of The Wild: ================== Greater Hawk: No
permanent invisibility. Has an active invisibility: duration 5 seconds
1 second fadetime, 30 cooldown 25 -> 200 hp 100 -> 40
bounty 280 -> 400 ms
Blue and
Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you can
customize this, see below)
Ban Time: 40 Pick Time: 60 Extra Time:
45
You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain
removes up to 4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero
ban.
After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the
heroes his team will use.
If at any time you run out of time, you
start to use up your extra time. If you run out and you are in pick phase,
you get a random hero.
Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft
phase is over. Right after the hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your
team are presented with a checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on
your team to pick which one they want to be.
The captain that starts
this process is random. If you want to give the starting to Sentinel, type
-cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is entered.
The
picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing by
team mates and observers.
