Item Changes

- Added a new recipe item (Urn of Shadows)

7/30/2019 6.55 and 6.66 Changelog

8/16

Requries:- Sobi Mask (325)- 2x Gauntlets of Strength (300)- Recipe (250)Total: 875

Provides:+ 50% Mana Regeneration+ 6 Strength+ Active

Starts with 0 charges. Each time an enemy hero dies near you, it gains a charge.The first charges increments by 2, so it goes 0/2/3/4/5/etc

Each usage of the item decreases the charge by 1.

Each hero death can only charge up one of these items per death, so more than one hero having this will not increase the charges for both of the items.

Can be cast on an ally to heal, dispels on non-creep damage. Can alternatively be cast on an enemy hero to do half the heal (200) as damage over 8 seconds.

Heal: 400 HP over 8 secondsCooldown: 10

Scroll of Town Portal- Reworked mechanics

- The casting time system for scroll teleports are now dynamic.Whenever a hero teleports to an area, it causes any other teleports to that area

to be delayed with extra time based on the number of heroes that teleported orare teleporting there. Each teleport leaves has memory lasts about 20 seconds for that location.

This does not affect teleports to the fountain area (it accounts for rough areasaround shop area as well).

Example: First hero teleports to his tower, he takes the usual 3 seconds castingtime. Then lets say the 3 other heroes teleport right after. The second one that telports after the original has a 5 second teleport time. Then 6 seconds, 7, etc.

- Teleport location effect no longer lies to the enemies about the landing spot

- Enemies now see the colors of the teleporting heroes

- Increases max range on where you can choose teleport near a building from 350to 525

- The color of the teleport effect changes if you are in delayed teleport mode.

It goes to normal once you have the standard 3 seconds left. So both sides can tell if its a quick or a delayed teleport and time things accoringly.

he gold that the leaver is carrying is also frozen until the hero is either unlocked or swapped.
