6.77c nerfs Nyx, KotL and Drow

6.77c released

In the latest version of Warcraft 3 DotA, Nyx and Keeper of the Light receive a nerf; Tranquil Boots get changed as well. It is not known yet when this will be ported over to Dota 2.

With this patch, IceFrog decides to nerf two popular competitive heroes, Nyx Assassin and Keeper of the Light. Drow Ranger's ultimate Marksmanship is also reduced in power; since she is not in Captains Mode yet, this will only affect normal match making. Rooftrellen's Living Armor receives yet another change - read the full explanation below:

* Tranquil Boots disabled speed reduced from 50 to 25
* Tranquil Boots heal increased from 170 to 250
* Tranquil Boots cooldown increased from 40 to 60

* Illuminate manacost increased from 150 to 150/160/170/180
* Illuminate AOE reduced from 400 to 350
* Spiked Carapace duration reduced from 2.75 to 2.25
* Spiked Carapace cooldown increased from 14 to 23/20/17/14
* Marksmanship bonus is removed when there are nearby enemy heroes (instead of just being halved)
* Reduced Marksmanship enemy detection aoe reduced from 400 to 375
* Heaven’s Halberd's Disarm is no longer dispelled by Manta
* Living Armor damage reduction is now done for all instances of damage that reduce its charges:
