More like: On the bright side, all three item sources of Magic resistance now stack with each other.

I like it, just like evasion stacking earlier. Bash stacking next year, calling it now.
But it helps you none againt Aghs Lina.

Nice Slark buffs.



The damage changes are stupid.

What I don't like about the Damage types changes is Aghanim Lina. It deals pure damage, you cannot buy magic resist against it. It seems weird. On the bright side- you can kill Huskar.

Pure dmg on a 950 nuke. WHY THE FUCK NOT.

At least it doesn't increase her damage anymore. As a matter of fact it reduces it. From 950 Magical to 712,5 Pure. Although it doesn't matter much, but by this logic, blading carapaced Nyx with aghs will actually deal you back LESS damage than without it.

Pure dmg on a 1k+ nuke. WHY THE FUCK NOT.

• Laguna Blade Aghanim's Scepter no longer increases damage, only the damage type is changed

You sure it doesn't increase her dmg? It actually does, cause (almost) every hero has 25% mr at least.

I did not see that it will do the same dmg with 25% mr, my bad.

I did not notice it the first time. Still, you won't be able to defend against it at all.

The wording is a little confusing. The old scepter increased damage to 1250 (938 after 25% red.). The new scepter deals 950 pure. It is same damage but you cannot build magic resist against it.

Click on the question mark near the description. They make it Pure, but 25% less (Meaning 712,5). Not fair to heroes like Meepo, Visage or AM, but well... All for the sake of simplification. The words counter-intuitive mean less and less in modern gaming.

Just tested it. 712 dmg without aghanims on base mmr, 950 with aghanims on the same target.

What really worries me though is that Doom's Doom is now Disruptor's Aghanimed ulti. He'll no longer be flexible. In fact, on a competitive stage he'll turn into nothing more but a jungling support.

Assuming the patch notes you should really post it in bugs. Or ask them to change the patchnotes.

As I said, it is either a bug, or just bad wording. Maybe they mean 25% less dmg AFTER you get aghanims.

Got the same numbers, yes.
