2+3 stacks are only paired with other 2+3 stacks and 5-stacks with 5-stacks - all-pick now has a ban phase – each player has 15 sec to ban one hero (not obligatory) before the overall pick phase ## Items ### Lightbringer <sup>NEW</sup> INT-analogue of Sange/Yasha, consist of Staff of Wizardry, Robe of the Magi and a Recipe (total cost 2050g) -

replenish mana to an ally - 50 mana/sec, max 10 sec (500 mana) - cost: 100 mana - cooldown: 30 sec ### Sange & Lightbringer <sup>NEW</sup> in addition to stats of both components - Lesser Miam applies in 160 AOE of targeted unit -

sure, SRT heroes who mostly buy it benefit more from +INT than extra spell resist, but _it makes more sense_ for a defensive item to give protection, not mana pool - will also make AGI carries more sustainable to magic burst ### BKB - using Platemail instead of Mithril Hammer (no one buys it for more damage and armour will be more useful esp. during active) - no longer breaks TPs and other channeling abilities (same as Bladefury) -

CK ult give 2/3/4 illus, no random Reduce radius of ET spirit significantly, do not put on cooldown unless stun lands (enabling the pump fake - like SF can do with requiem) LC - improve duel cast point. reduce cooldown of press the attack and improve cast point, increase speed gained from overwhelming odds, maybe change from percentage base to flat increase, for blood cyka like movement. meepo - revert the death penalty thing back for him Gold for minion things in general more consistent. Brew master lings = 1$? spider = 16$? ... mine = 0$ NP treants, eniglets = ~$23?
