DotA 6.82

[scorpion2001gla]

well , i guess it's not old news that Valve and it's DotA2 brought the 6.82 patch to the public , and well , it has HUGE changes , including modifying the map :

• Roshan was moved , some Ancients as well
• new rune called Bounty ... which is not bad ... gives out exp and gold
• new item ... which i find useless in mid-late and late , but damn expensive !!!
• bloodseeker reworked , with a very fucking long silence that it's not an ulti ... why
• phantom lancer fucked up with attributes and skills , now he can't go invisible to escape the enemies
• some other bits and pieces that i can't think about it right now and/or i have little information - like gold figures regarding killing and enemy , comebacks are not more possible and once they do , they are hard to repel ... 

personally , i can live with the new map , although it's the map i've learn since 6.60 ... which was in 2009-2010 ... though i think this change is not necessary positive , since you don't come with a total new thing without announcing and asking the community if they want this .
i would have wanted the option to play the classic map and the new map .

heroes were radically modified , some in a very bad manner , and i don't like it , making the total number of playable heroes in AP , for me at least , much smaller - which means the gameplay is slowly fading for me and i'm sure for others as well .

in the next post , i will post the entire change log , in case you don't know about the changes .

so , what's your opinion about this ?
do you like it ?
if yes , why ?
if no , why ?

p.s. : mby a moderator can make it a sticky and install a pool on this post with the question " do you like the new 6.82 " with " yes and no " options .

DAMAGE TYPE CHANGES
A few abilities and damage type mechanics have been reworked. There are now three primary damage types and a Spell Immunity Piercing status with each. Each ability now carries a notation in the tooltip indicating these.

The three damage types are Physical, Magical and Pure.

Physical is affected by Physical Armor, Magical is affected by Magical Damage Resistance and Pure is affected by neither.

Magic Immunity has now been renamed to Spell Immunity. Spell Immunity only defines if Spells interact with it, not how damage itself is handled. This means that on its own Spell Immunity status does not reduce any damage.

Black King Bar, Repel, Rage and all other previous forms of "Magic Immunity" now grant Spell Immunity status and a 100% Magic Resistance bonus.

In the vast majority of cases, the interactions are still the same, however an example of a case that would be different is if an ability has both Spell Immunity exception and has Pure damage type. Previously the damage would not have any impact, however now it does.

Ability Tooltips now have these fields:

-Damage Type: Physical/Magical/Pure
-Pierces Spell Immunity: Yes/No

If the Damage Type is not Magical it will be colored differently to make it easier to notice. The same is true in cases where Pierces Spell Immunity is Yes.

There have been a few abilities rebalanced with these mechanics in mind. In some cases the intent is to maintain similar balance, in other cases as an adjustment to their balance.

Additional Notes:

1) Composite Damage: This damage type has been removed. There are no longer any abilities which use Composite Damage.

2) HP Removal: This is no longer considered a Damage Type, and its remaining uses are as an alternative cost to Mana for spells to use (Sunray, Burning Spears) or as functional HP modifications (Armlet, Sunder, etc). These are now considered usage costs in the game and are never lethal.
