At least IceFrog has better sense when it comes to nerfs/buffs, unlike Riot.

due to the art's tendency to make everything cute i kinda don't want any comics with nightstalker to be made....on the other hand seeing nightstalker with the new "vision reduced by 25%" (800 nightvision => 600) "hey did it get darker to you?" "oh no" *nightstalker sudden rape* "yes. yes it did."
@Random Dude: Nuke spell like FoD and Laguna blade. Don't forget that his ult damage to kill has been reduced and needs scepter to improve it back to its normal number.
Can't wait to see the 6.79 changes in DotA 1 though, expect a gigantic Oracle nerf. (and hopefully a techies buff)

@Random Dude: Not really, by the time Luna has her 4200 stick, most team by this point has stick together to push. At most it means 1-2 more beam on 1 enemy. And not to mention that it doesn't increase her physical damage a lot...
Axe's removed CD on ulti because it's being overshadowed by true-
more difficulty on casting his spells as well as not being able to spam his magic immunity.
or bara, who got his magic immunity removed as well as having slower attack instead of nerfing the damage. while he can still kill people with his combo, its more difficult and can be stopped.
nice Jo, you understand how Icefrog "fixes" the game.
rather than removing what makes the hero strong, he instead nerfs around them in order to make them less favorable or more tricky but "still" good.
like just look at naix. he didnt lose his magic immunity or loss damage, but instead has a bit

Calling hax on some Hero changes. (eg: no more limit on luna's aghanim beam, removed CD on Culling if it kills the target)

I don't really play moba games, let alone Dota, but from the context and that I have played WoW before, I'm guessing Icefrog is basically the Ghostcrawler of valve?
So... Who IS icefrog? I've seen Gyrocopter do some major damaga in the internation and no nerf so far. What does Icefrog have to do with this? And why to nerf him? He's not even THAT broken...

The patch notes posted by a Valve dev on the Valve development forums where they post all the patch notes? That seems pretty legit.
@Krystian Omni isn't picked only because he's so hard to lane. But with the update changing the lanes and pulls, we may very well see more dual lanes being used. He isn't bad, he just didn't have a place. Now he can quite feasibly lane.
