interesting stacking changes, OG is playing on that patch in like 10 mins. I'll probably watch it to see how fly/jerax handle it lol

Every core builds HotD to stack now.

You don't get the bonus if you stack it yourself. Supports might buy HotD to stack multiple camps and pay for itself+attack speed aura though.

Honestly this looks like a really good patch for supports. Reduced courier cost, lots of money out of stacking and free money from communist bounty runes, looks nice.

Not crazy about a stacking meta, seems boring Lots of boring shit like defensive supports like dazzle to protect stack clearing hard carries like AM, Sven, Luna.

I am just a 2k scrub so take everything I say dota related with a grain of salt.

The EG who just lost a qualifier final to Complexity just molested Newbee in 2 Games, 20 minutes and 17.5 minutes. That was disgusting.
