What are the earth spirit nerfs?

What are the earth spirit nerfs?

• Stone Remnant recharge timer increased from 25 to 35
• Geomagnetic Grip now does a 2/3/4/5 second silence instead of a 1/1.5/2/2.5 second stun
• Geomagnetic Grip damage rescaled from 125 to 100/150/200/250
• Boulder Smash damage rescaled from 100/150/200/250 to 125
• Boulder Smash now does a 0.75/1.25/1.75/2.25 second stun instead of a 3.5/4/4.5/5 second silence
• Boulder Smash radius from 225 to 200
• Rolling Boulder now also gets interrupted if disabled during the initial 0.6 rolling charge, instead of only while its moving
• Geomagnetic Grip now kills trees along the path of a dragged allied hero
• Targeting someone directly with Boulder Smash will now be blocked by Linken's Sphere
• Fixed being able to cast Geomagnetic Grip on magic immune allies
• Fixed Boulder Smash being able to target Magic Immune units
• Fixed Rolling Boulder travel distance going further than intended if you use a Stone Remnant near the end of the roll

Now the recharges take longer, now he doesn't have an inescapable combo since now you have to use your skillshot to stun instead of the bullshit from geomagnetic grip which isn't even hard to hit.

So I dont know that much about the meta in high level mmr games but do you think he is still gonna be one of the top picked heroes?

Hah i'm not even that high level, only 4200 mmr, he'll be picked still but he isn't easy mode win anymore.

DAY 3, PHOENIX ANNOUNCED! Oh yeah, and there's a neat Lina set too.
http://www.dota2.com/newbloom/day3/

Also, friendly reminder that CM will be pure shit after the patch hits in the name of "balance".

 

[(-TG-)SvenPhantom]

I'm hoping the set made by agito666 gets in, the patch is out in test client!

According to what I heard from dota 1, Phoenix was overpowered but seems like a fun hero.

Time to find a new waifu?

Also, it was about fucking time they added the ability to sell items while dead, i've made mistakes buying things while i was dead and couldnt sell them. This update is pretty based.

 

[GenocYda]

Looks nice, I've just sacrificed all my greevils and plenty for other items, I hope it's be worth the weight.

 

[Pat]

Phoenix looks awesome probably gonna be a cool mid hero if i had to guess

I think he's being played more like a support/babysitter, but I think he's changed since last time I played DotA, his Sunray used to slow units and Icarus Dive used to be flat nuke with Disarm. But that's long time ago, even Terrorblade got changed, he used to have life drain and it was possible to use ti on allies to heal you and deny yourself, it was quite cool.
