Hero Updates

Many heroes have received significant buffs. Many heroes have received significant nerfs too. Let’s take a look at the three heroes that come to our attention.

Doom

Doom is an interesting pick in the current meta and with the reworked changes, it appears to be even more interesting.

The agility has been increased by a considerable amount from 11 + 0.9 to 15 + 1.5. Although Doom is a strength hero, the increase in agility does signify enhanced attack speed, which will help him farm faster.

However, the Aghanim Scepter rework on his ultimate is the most important change.

• Reworked Scepter. Enemies within 325 radius from the target also suffer the effects of Doom. Also allows it to be self-cast to affect enemies around the caster.

God bless the enemies surrounding Doom from being doomed. Expect to see more of him.

Morphling

Morphling has always been one of the most terrific carry heroes to exist in the game. He can single-handedly turn games around on his own accord, provided he gets the necessary farm.

He fell off the wagon due to significant nerfs in the past, but now he may as well come back. The most important change is the rework of the Aghanim Shard.

Buying a shard now causes Attribute Shift (Agility Gain) to work while stunned and increases bonus Agility by 6. The same applies to Attribute Shift (Strength Gain) when activated.

Morphling’s Ultimate with the Aghanim’s Scepter has also received an upgrade.

• Scepter Stolen Status Resistance increased from 35% to 40%
• Scepter Stolen Attack Speed increased from 50% to 70%
• Scepter Stolen Spell Damage Amplification increased from 20% to 25%

Marci

The last hero to be introduced to captain’s mode, Marci, has been heavily nerfed. Let’s just say, she might go non-existent or be a situational pick at most.

• Dispose no longer stuns the enemy.
• Unleash no longer slows the enemy.
• Rebound radius has been decreased.

Primal Beast introduced to Captain’s Mode

The buffed creep has come to haunt Captain’s Mode. The super creep reckons and can now be at the disposal of teams who know to play him best.

Primal Beast created an uproar in pubs with many pro-Dota 2 players praising it highly. It will be interesting to see how things pan out in the near future.
