DotA 6.64 released

6.64, dota, icefrog, released

DotA version 6.64 has been released, with several balance changes and minor hero and item tweaks.

IceFrog's AvatarToday, IceFrog presented DotA version 6.64 to the DotA community. Similar to the changes in every other version, adjustments to both heroes and items can be game-altering, although most of the changes in this version are minor tweaks and balances.

Some of the more notable changes in this version is another tweak to Phase Boots and Power Treads due to a previous bug, a slight nerf to heroes like Morphling and the rework of Pudge's Flesh Heap.

Read the full changelog here.

mmhmm icefrog wud need to add ms to forcestaff if that would be the case, otherwise, IAS is always good on support, easier to farm neutrals.
IN THA BUTT ?!?!

I heard TPs and wards help a little more than IAS, but I don't really understand the metagame so maybe it's just speculation at best.

I don't understand the metagame either, but I think a jungling support sounds great. Maybe we should have Midas turn to Forcestaff? Sounds great for support. You go Midas first and when you make all the money you buy the Forcestaff recipe to support better. With +IAS.

Shoes seemed perfectly fine even when phase boots were released. I didnt see anyone QQ'ing about them being imba. Phase boots were cheap and effective for many heros who didn really benefit from the IAS of treads and couldnt farm travels. And everyone INCLUDING heros like CM could afford one, so it was pretty balanced imo. Why try to fix something that aint broken ?

Anyways will this map be the stable one for upcoming pride and other tourneys ?

FYI, Phase Boots was bad because it gave you +armor, if you didn't follow the scene there were many complaints about that. Made some early-game ganker heroes like Clockwerk totally imba.

Also, agree that Syllabear wasn't hit hard enough, his bear is ridiculous. Every game I'm like "GTFO with that thing already", lol. Also we needed badly the Pipe nerf, but as far as I'm concerned, the changes go in the right direction.

Anyone else think Pudge's Flesh Heap is now extreme?

it should be on a larger AOE=(
on a positive note, now Pudge players wont be farmer anymore, bt will be more aggressive^^

i prefer Phase for the movement speed..
at least the -ms is buffed back..
Armor is 2ndary to me..

imo phaseboots is a lot better for certain gankers, like VS, it now gives +22 dmg.
Also PT got buffed, coz it's now 350gold cheaper and only gives 5 less ias.
