IceFrog releases 6.77c

 

 

 

The dominance of the support duo of Keeper of the Light and Nyx Assassin may soon wane as IceFrog just released 6.77c. The majority of the 6.77c changes focused on nerfs of Illuminate for Keeper of the Light and Spike Carapace for Nyx Assassin.

 

Other minor changes were also made to Tranquil Boots, Heaven’s Halberd and Drow Ranger’s Marksmanship. With question, the update will heavily affect the current meta-game as both Nyx Assassin and Keeper of the Light were automatic pick/ban heroes in the early drafting stage. Here is the overview of what 6.77c has in store for us:
