Io Becomes The Best Support? 5 Important Points You Must Know in Dota 2 Patch 7.12!

Lately Dota 2 more frequent updates that change the various systems. This is done to keep their promise with updates at least 2 weeks. Well, on this update, Dota 2 patch 7.12 gives some changes to many heroes. But from the update, there are some important points that must be known to the players. Curious what? Let's see the review below.

1. Many Heroes are Reorganized

Through this update, Icefrog seems to decide to rearrange many hero skills. Enchantress and Dark Seer underwent changes that made them a little less effective in the early games, but they were even stronger when it entered the mid-game.

Unlike Riki, he changes in his Tricks of the Trade where he will attack only one target randomly in the target area every 0.5 / 0.45 / 0.4 seconds. Its duration was added to allow Riki to disappear longer. Although only attack one by one, Riki actually becomes more dangerous when doing gank to hero alone. With the capital Diffusal Blade, Smoke Screen, and Tricks of the Trade, 1 enemy will die faster.

2. Io Will Be The Best Support Candidate

In this update also, Io get quite significant buff in Tether hers. Tether now no longer has a duration, which means he will do Tether continuously for not be separated. Not to mention Io will adjust movement speed with hero-in her Tether make Io can run faster when doing Tether to hero friends with high speed movement like Pugna, Luna, or Enchantress. Not to mention if it has reached level 15, the heroes seem to get a free Aghanim's Scepter when Io take the talent "Tether Grants Aghanim's Scepter Bonus".

3. Omniknight and Tiny got Nerf Again!

Not satisfied after being nerfed many times since patch 7.07c, Omniknight back nerf again! Now the cost of his Repel has increased from 50 to 85. Increasing 35 Mana is not an easy thing for Omniknight who has a small stat intelligence in the beginning.

Not to be outdone, Tiny also get hit again nerf since patch 7.07c. After Toss gets a cooldown increase, Grow lowers the attack speed more, and Tree Grab weakens early in the game. Avalanche was finally exposed to nerf also the cooldown is rearranged for 17 seconds every level to 20/19/18/17 sec. This certainly lowers Tiny's potential at the start of the game.

4. Phoenix So Counter Main Night Stalker

You know how dangerous Night Stalker is when holding Aghanim's Scepter is not it? There is almost no chance for you to run away from him despite trying to hide. But now Night Stalker already has a natural counter that is Phoenix.

In this update, Phoenix gets a very good buff that is making the night into the morning for the duration of Supernova and has the highest priority. That is, Night Stalker's Hunter in the Night and Darkness will not work for that duration. If there are hero friends who chased Night Stalker, stay Supernova wrote from the fountain! Plus Supernova radius increased from 1000 to 1300.

5. Pangolier Enter Captain Mode

The last of these updates is with the inclusion of Pangolier in captain mode. This allows pro teams to have a broader hero pool. With this, Techies live only who have not entered in Captain mode before finally the whole hero can be used in this mode.
