The newest Heroes of Newerth patch is out, bringing us lots of changes and a new hero, Doctor Repulsor.S2 Games has released a new Heroes of Newerth patch. The 1.0.7. version of the game brings many changes to heroes, as well as a new one, Doctor Repulsor.
The item change that stands out is the Geometer's Bane nerf, a much needed one considering it's popularity recently. It was a must have item on every single one of the ranged carries and was dubbed overpowered by the competitive community. It remains to be seen if the lowered strength and agility it gives will be enough to balance it.
A number of heroes was brought down as well, including Arachna, Fayde, Forsaken Archer, Madman and Soul Reaper - all of which were banned/picked in just about every tournament game.
A few underwhelming heroes like Bubbles, Gladiator, Devourer and Nymphora received some love, in an attempt to make them viable in competitive play.
The new hero, Doctor Repulsor is based of DotA's Stormspirit and his ganking potential is surely a welcome addition to the world of Newerth. It remains to be seen if he'll be as popular as his DotA counterpart, though.
