The New Blink Dagger, Lothar's Edge, Diffusal Blade

Kelen

Kelen's Blink Dagger

Can teleport 1200 range
Cannot be used if damaged by a hero over the last 3 seconds.
15 second cooldown
Cannot be used by vengeful and pudge.


What do I think?

I think that it was a great buff. You can now escape even if you are being killed by the creeps. And now only heroes can interrupt it. Adn the reduce of cooldown is more great because that it can be more spam but the bad side to this is that it can be spammed again. Like the previous Blink Dagger. It can be spammed and can be used to escape but nerfed and nerfed until icefrog get the taste of players to use Dagger again.



Lothar`s Edge

Lothar's Edge

Requires:
Mithril Hammer
Quarterstaff
Lothar`s Edge Recipe Scroll

Gives:
+38 Damage
+ 10 Attack Speed
Wind Walk (Active, 9 duration, 20 cd, 75 manacost, 20% ms bonus)

What do I think?

I think that this is a nerf, nerf to agi heroes. The nerf of agi is really bad for nevermore because of this is his core item. But on the other side icefrog buff Diffusal blade which I think to be the next one to be spammed by agi heroes. The damage given by Lothar's is a decent move by icefrog. He should equalize this to dagger because it is used by escaping not to gank. It can help to gank but sometimes theres a small chance.


Diffusal Blade

Diffusal Blade

Requires:
Blades of Alacrity (2x)
Robe of the Magi
Diffusal Blade Recipe Scroll

Gives:
+6 Intelligence, +25 Agility
Charged: Purge
10 Charges 600 Range
4 Second Duration 12
Second Cooldown
Passive: Feedback
20 Mana Burned per Attack to Heroes

What do I think?

The one where the alacrity of Lothar's thrown to. This is(I think) a great buff to a item that is being ignored for so long. I now always use this to agi heroes that do not have any orb effects. I used this to Nevermore and it is really great. The agi and int is realy balanced in the way sing this item. The 20 Mana burn is really awesome buff too. For now this Item is the best for agi heroes.

Agree that diffusal blade and manta will be much more common on agi heroes after the remake.

I also agree that the Lothars change is a nerf for agi heroes, but I haven't noticed any change in builds for the heroes who had lothars as a core (Nevermore, Sniper, Viper among others). Your thoughts on this?
