                                Just my 2 cents:
                                1.Lich will see even more aghanims, now with 50% slow
                                2.Necro hartstop aura range down 25% will make him less useful early
                                3.OD the new CM ?
                                4.Silencer more proper for pubs

                                Wrath

                                  Hurricane Pike
                                  * Active now grants 100 Attack Speed for the 4 attacks it provides on the target

                                  Isn't that a bit too op?

                                  [Lk].Zano

                                    You know, I kind of expect Sven to get the same nerf as Lifestealer in a future patch. The toad sure likes to give this treatment lately.

                                    [x]M̫̄õ̩Z̨͝ẽ͉D

                                      Does pa get attack speed buff on spell immune enemies?

                                          "Legion
                                          * Overwhelming Odds damage per hero increased from 20/35/50/65 to 20/40/60/80
                                          * Moment of Courage cooldown reduced from 2.6/2/1.4/0.8 to 2.3/1.8/1.3/0.8"

                                          In case you were not getting enough jungle legion commanders in your games.

                                          "Phantom Assassin
                                          * Phantom Strike can now target Spell Immune heroes"

                                          This is quite nice.

                                          "Terrorblade
                                          * Conjure Image manacost reduced from 80 to 70
                                          * Conjure Image duration increased from 32 to 34"

                                          Roflmao. How often do TB's illusions last the full 32 seconds in fights unless you are ahead anyway.

                                          "Ursa
                                          * Fury Swipes debuff duration increased from 15 to 20
                                          * Base HP Regen increased from 0.25 to 0.75"

                                          Think the longer fury swipes one wins the award for most pointless "buff" of the patch - when does an Ursa need an extra 5 seconds of his debuff being applied to something in order to kill it. The whole point of the hero is to blink on someone and burst them down from the very start.

                                            Where did the necro nerf come from though. Was he picked in competitive?

                                            Totentanz to The King: M ...

                                              RIP Na'ix honestly. I'll still play him obviously, but he is probably in the worst state he has ever been.

                                              Niskara

                                                Hurricane pike seems a bit insane, now it can replace an attack speed item, a stats item and an utility item all for 4375 Gold, not bad.
                                                EDIT: Not to mention good buildup.

                                                  Naix is very fine still you are overrating the nerf.

                                                    Necro got buffed afaik. The "value point" in hearthstopper early was never really that good, sure it was annoying, but most of the time a player decent at last hitting would be better of with just skilling pulse and sadist and be able to spam pulse more freely anyways. Hearthstopper always was at its strongest in the lategame and now it's even more so, you have to be in the middle of the fight anyways due to your low range spells, so the range nerf really does not affect him that hard. We'll see but im quite sure his winrate (atleast in higher mmr were people actually know how to play) will rise.

                                                      Hurricane pike was never really that amazing to begin with, the stats were nice, the build up was great, but i felt like the effect that lets you get free right clicks on them was underwhelming now it works as it should of worked from the start thanks to that bonus attack speed, it feels more fluid.

                                                                    wtf he got buffed

                                                                                                    which mean slower push, slower farm, slower to kill people (and even slowlier cause he has a bit less stuff).
                                                                                                    That nerf doesn't touch his laning phase at all, but severly touch his midgame -and thus his lategame both directly and indirectly-, since he has nothing but auto attack.

                                                                                                    Also, on a hero that is very kitable, such a reduction of dps output might also be what separate a kill, from a "need 1 more hit to kill".
                                                                                                    Just look how sven disappeared with little to no nerf, and he was MUCH LESS suseptible to kited due to his superior burst.

                                                                                                    Edit: You cann't dumpster game with medusa, cause nyx, no matter his role, even at 0-55, as long as he has maxed mana burn, will kill you in 4 second (or least make SUCH tremendous damage to you that even the worst noob in his team will be able to finish you in the second).
