What were the most fundamental mechanics changes the last patches? Cooldown reduction items/runes, lifesteal from spells and scaling spell damage come to mind.
How can the madman top that?

The goal isn't really 'balance', it's to mix up the gameplay so things don't get stale.
If the game was SOMEHOW perfectly balanced, people would eventually complain about getting bored.

I think the current patch is one of the most fair and balanced patches dota has had. I mean WE HAD LEGION FIRST PICK meta JUST NOW in the Major. The patch went through solid 10 different p/b metas in its history of 2 majors and TI.
But my god it got fucking stale and boring despite being a very good patch.
I want something fucking crazy to break the game
Austin Phillips
is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

Exactly, they want people to stop picking the strong heroes and shift new heroes into the meta, this will happen every patch.
When a strong hero gets nerfed they get fucking DESTROYED.

Morphling is nothing. A good hero. Not OP.
But MY FUCKING SIDES how hard Batrider is going to get fucked. FLAMEBREAK doesn't even cancel TPs and his pickrate just went higher.
That hero will have his fucking funeral in 7 hours.

he definitely rivals Ee and even Loh (reads as Loch, translates to piece of shit) for the most autistic person to ever be on a pro team
Adam Thomas
I'm fairly certain that the "new" being referred to with 7.0 is new heroes that haven't been in dota allstars before, like monkey king.
That's why it's called the "New Journey" update, because it's journeying into more heroes to further diversify the pool.
My guess is that throughout 7.00 updates new heroes will start getting added very frequently, and Icefrog and Valve have been working on a big pool of new heroes to roll out.
Either that or they made a sweet new HUD for the main menu

What is happening to him, I legit think he has lost all his willpower for this game. Watching his streams is really sad, he tries so hard to enjoy this game but everyone is cancer.
Reminder that while rtz still fights for them 3rd places, EE has won a valve event and moonmeander has won two.

7.00 will have passive skills similar to LoL.
You know how Silencer currently has an 'passive' inbuild ability to absorb INT without needing to level up Glaives?
It makes no sense but Icefraud decided to do that a few patches ago just to buff the hero. At least it will now be consistent across the whole hero pool.
Meepo also currently has an extra +10% base magic resistance? Might as well include in the new passive skills.
