NEW GAME MODES
-as/-aa/-ai should bring a bit of variety back in to the game by limiting the available heroes. Had a good -ai -ar game last night; bit of a nukeathon but was entertaining.

So yes, my other favourite bits so far in the new version:

Assassinate and Rupture now have status buff icons: Good - whoever decided to take the one off Rupture needs assassinating tbh
Aegis removed from -dm: I might start playing -dm -ar -sm games again
Fixed a bug with DMAR that allowed repicking and screwing up the hero count: good
Lycan Wolf Form has proper melee attack, not missle based: good - means battle fury will work on woofy but he'll be slightly less hax when chasing heroes down
Radiance AOE from 400 to 550: translation - Radiance is actually useful again

sange and yasha now £1000 :(

Me and Bonkers had a play with the new heroes - his (cant remember name) has an insane health regen thing, and mine (avatar of vengeance) is the ULTIMATE piss off hero - play him (or worse against him) and you'll see why :D

Vol'jin is the new hero, he's pretty hax with the insane regen.

We played an -ai game the other night, which was amusing.. however you have to make very clear what the game mode is.. lots of people often don't want to plan an all int, agi or str game:/

i can't see public mr/aa/ai/as games being popular, however i think they'll make our private online games and our lan games that bit more interesting by giving us another mode to play with.

plus -aa will force me to learn to play agility melee heroes...
