Wandering Waters New mechanic

• The top and bottom outer rim areas are now flooded by streams of traversable water. These streams have a current, starting near the T3 towers (right before the medium camp location), down to the T1 towers (former Twin Gate location).

To gather it a hero must stand within 300 units for 3s. Like Lotus Pools, the Shrine will not count down time while an enemy hero stands within the radius, and will resume only if the enemy hero leaves the area or is killed. Experience is granted to a random hero within 300 units and also to their teammate with the lowest experience. The values and behavior are identical to Wisdom Runes.

From 15:00 he follows the time of day: Bottom pit at day, Top pit at night (slightly closer to Dire's jungle entrance), walking across the river between them.On the way he no longer gets bonus movement speed, but gets +25% Slow Resistance on top of his base one.

Abilities

Throw

• NEWNew ability

Active – scales with game time

When running into a hero while moving between pits, Roshan will stop and grab them before violently throwing them away. Upon landing, heroes are stunned for 1s and take 200 pure damage + 0.5% of target's current health per minute of game time. Each time Roshan throws a hero, he gains 70 bonus movement speed and increases throw damage by additional 100 until he reaches his destination pit. After 5 throws Roshan ignores heroes on his way

Can be blocked by spell-blocking abilities and items, like , but can't be reflected. Heroes will be thrown away from Roshan based on their relative position to him

Tormentor Reworked objective

• There is only a single Tormentor active at a time, repositioned to the corners of the map. It first spawns at 15:00 (7:30 in Turbo) and depends on the day and night cycle: Radiant side at night, Dire side at day. As a result, it always appears at the Radiant side first (at the Dire side in Turbo), and Roshan and Tormentor are always on opposite sides, exceptions may apply in Turbo. Abilities now scale with game time instead of the number of deaths.

• Neutral Creep Camps that reside within a stream are considered Flooded Camps, populated with new amphibian neutral creeps: the Small camp on the rim between tier 1 and tier 2 towers, the Medium camp on the rim near tier 2 tower, and the Medium camp in the main jungle that was on the stream's way and used to be a Large camp. As the tides of battle rise, every 5 minutes one creep in a Flooded Camp is permanently upgraded to the next tier. Each camp has 3 units, so at 15:00 the Small camp becomes a Medium camp and both Medium camps become Large; at 30:00 the Medium camp becomes Large and both Large camps become Ancient. Each creep can only be upgraded twice, meaning a Small camp will never reach an Ancient status (sorry, Pollywogs). Units are not upgraded if the camp is blocked. Amount of upgraded units can't be increased, so if there is only 1 Ancient creep, attempting to stack that camp will not create another Ancient creep.CampAverage GoldAverage XPCreepsSmall camp54903× PollywogMedium camp811262× Boglet1× Marshmage ApprenticeLarge camp1171652× Croaker1× MarshmageAncient camp163.53122× Ancient Croaker1× Ancient Marshmage

7.37e

Active

Briefly refocusing its fractured elements into a single form, the Arc Warden is able to create a perfect electrical duplication of itself. The duplicate can use all of Arc Warden's current items and special Tempest Double versions of his spells, except most consumables and items that drop on death. The duplicate has separate item and ability cooldowns. If killed by the enemy, the Tempest Double gives bounty gold to enemies, and the ability's cooldown is restarted. The Tempest Double loses its sense of self if he is too far away from Arc Warden and takes more damage.
