Thank you, good sir.

Boring update. Basically, things can now emanate from objects (although you're sacrificing the total area involved), and AMC got a small nerf to his hives.
Also merc isn't impossible to get away from. He's now like trying to run from a mach 4 jet instead of a mach 5.

Yawn.

The nerf to merc if you can even call it that is just another buff to neith's broken root and artimis normal root

He Bo looks sweet, might start playing as him. I'm a bit disappointed that they did not take the opportunity to look at his skills/kit to see if he needs a nerf (which I think he needs)

Small nerf to Ah Muzen Cab and Mercury is good, but they still need more (or maybe less is more appropriate :P)

PS: Aw I'm going to miss that Vamana glitch (made me crack up every time it happened)

PSS: I wonder what the new Anubis card looks like...

PSSS: What is up with the "This ability can now be placed inside of walls and other blocking geometry."?

Now every mage can kill a tower huger. :/

Say for example. Someone is hiding behind a tower and your Ao. Before you can't target behind that tower with your 3 because of the tower and the wall behind it but now you will be able to. Same goes for walls etc.

I won't be making this official news until it has been edited.

Ohh I see thanks!

All I got to say is:

Only 3 wards are allowed at any given time per player. The oldest ward is destroyed when placing the 4th ward.

...

All the other stuff is fine.
