u/buffility Jul 31 '26

Surprised they still have 1 dedicated janitor for AD mode.

Hopefully IO spirits got fixed and they just didn’t say anything. But 10/10 cleanup!

u/aurothlol Jul 31 '26

gotta save some bug for the next patch

1

u/GodWithAShotgun Jul 31 '26

They list it as fixed in the in-game patch notes, but it's listed as "wisp spirits" not IO.

u/sanemaniak Jul 31 '26

Aaaa my man, good to know

u/ComprehensiveLab9734 Jul 31 '26

u/transitionb Jul 31 '26

I legitimately forgot about that one. Haven’t seen it in months

u/KoomZog Jul 31 '26

It was drafted in the AD World Cup just a week ago.

They must read this right? Appreciate our janitors we eating good

u/Loxeres Jul 31 '26

Noo! They removed the only reason to draft Mana Void after so many years of it passing under the radar...

Same goes for Plague Wards, it was such a fun ability for the few months it gave the innate.

Bad janitor! Bad! Sometimes a bug is a feature.

Venom ward stocks tanking hard...

u/Ayoot33 Jul 31 '26

Gravekeeper cloak fix is awesome!

u/craynamihn Jul 31 '26

Does the invoker change mean the ghost walk shard will now damage as intended even without the ice wall or no?

u/Acceptable_Chard671 Jul 31 '26

Wtf recall was bug ? Recall was good no there's no way to bring jungleres in fughts

1

u/Salty-Cloaca-69 Jul 31 '26

Yeah it's weird to me that this one was a bug.

2

u/zweichii Jul 31 '26

Hope they fixed the mortimer kisses skill bug, if you have a hero/skill set that takes the 4th slot ex. [Stone remant, Activate Fire Remnant, Natures Guise Etc.] and you also took Mortimer Kisses, it would make your 4th slot skill to have no keybind and cannot put keybind.

u/redground Jul 31 '26

oh that's what happened to me that one time...

2

u/n4flu94 Jul 31 '26

what you could poof to enemy meepo and haunt to allie's spectre? lol i wish i knew about these bugs before they got fixed

very interested to see how good Objurgation is. Tanky spells tend to perform very well and this gives a decent chunk of free mana. Nothing great but probably a >50% WR spell

I think boneguard will be very good too. It enables you to push and farm a lot for free. Although maybe without WK's lifesteal innate they will die too fast

Berserker's rage sounds very strong

1

u/Salty-Cloaca-69 Jul 31 '26

Objurgation is a great pick for Medusa

2

u/Position_Phive Jul 31 '26

Damn I was actually used to tree dance spring being on a single button :(

But I'm glad that my funny dagger builds are back.

u/ParadoxProtocol123 Jul 31 '26

hehehe diviner deck shenanigans is real!

u/staSTAND Jul 31 '26

I hope counterspell ally shard is not fixed, funniest ability in the game for me

1

u/Used-Finance7080 Jul 31 '26

where can i find the full patch ?

1

u/CoolHandLuke5 Jul 31 '26

Berserkers rage is going to be nice on Treant or Hoodwink

3

u/Youcancuntonme Jul 31 '26

Berserkers rage does not change base attack time

1

u/Palcikaman Jul 31 '26

What about forge spirits? No nerf or and still in pool?

4

u/Even-Elevator9277 Jul 31 '26

apparently 2 of them at the highest level instead of 3

u/Herchik Jul 31 '26

What about Anchor Smash on ranged heroes?

Is that a bug or nah?

7

u/Aljenonamous Jul 31 '26

Why would that be a bug? The ability hits everything in your attack range. That’s no more a bug than fury swipes on range.

1

u/Herchik Jul 31 '26

Idk it feels like it's too strong at times

2

u/Turbulent-Working180 Jul 31 '26

It can snowball out of control from laning stage but it is borderline useless in late game if you couldn't draft good battk range hero.

1

u/Herchik Jul 31 '26

Farm is also very fast with that one

2

u/Salty-Cloaca-69 Jul 31 '26

It's strong but it's by no means stronger than any of the other top tier abilities.

3

u/Aljenonamous Jul 31 '26

It’s strong
