Hon Community Collaboration Balance Patch

Well the tittle says it all. A new patch is coming up tomorrow and it will be a massive one.

S2 gathered around with the community and reworked a bunch of heroes and items. I don't have the inside about all the changes, but I'm able to give you the list of reworked heroes and items so as some of the changes made.

Heroes:

*Andromeda
*Blacksmith
*Blitz
*Chronos
*Cthulhuphant
*Defiler
*Demented Shaman
*Gauntlet
*Glacius
*Fayde
*Hellbringer
*Jereziah
*Kinesis
*Kraken
*Madman
*Magmus
*Moon Queen
*Ophelia
*Pebbles
*Plague Rider
*Predator
*Rhapsody
*Scout
*Shadowblade
*Slither
*Succubus
*Swiftblade
*Tempest
*Valkyrie
*Warbeast

Items:

*Bound Eye
*Hellflower
*Pickled Brain
As for the item changes:
  •  Bound Eye was really nerfed! Its is now impossible for the courriers to carry/pick up the eye, this makes it impossible to "scout" wards with the courrier or  to pick up a lost eye on the map, another nerf is the fact that if the other team picks up your eye it gets disabled and can no longer be used;
  • Hellflower also got nerfed, as far as I know its duration was decreased by 1 second (5sec to 4 sec);
  • As for Pickled Brain i can only guess! Maybe back to 1000g?

Hero changes:
  • Pebbles ultimate no longer removes attack speed, instead it increases base attack time. But what is the difference? Its easy attack speed items will no longer drastically improve Pebbles attack speed;
  • Valkyrie her javelin was nerfed so that is harder to hit a 5 sec arrow at lvl 1. This will change all the skill guides. I will play her 1st then see if it is really in need to rework the guide.
  • Hellbringer this is really the funny part, 2 days ago a follower (John i believe) asked me why people don´t play Hellbringer anymore... well besides his ultimate he is pretty useless! this will change now. S2 will unnerf his dead boil, giving his original damage back. We will see Hellbringer back on competitive play!  

As for the rest we will need to wait until tomorrow ;)
