6.76c stomps on Centaur Warrunner
Nerfs to Centaur's new ulti, Stampede, amongst other changes in 6.76c
Just one day after our report on the Centaur and Drow Ranger dominance in 6.76 & 6.76b, IceFrog has released a new version of 6.76c with significant nerfs to Centaur Warrunner’s new ultimate, Stampede and Drow Rangers abilities.
A few further bug fixes were implemented to tag team made, the Centaur has been restricted from Captain’s Mode and lag issues were resolved. But let’s focus on the Centaur for now;
As we reported and according to DotaBuff.com, Centaur Warrunner is currently enjoying a 67.55% winrate, which happens to be the highest amongst all the heroes. It is to be expected that the changes to his ultimate will make it drop significantly.
The new Stampede’s changes in detail:
Centaur Warrunner’s Ultimate : Stampede as of 6.76c “Grants you and all allied player units on the map max movement speed and zero unit collision for a short duration. Any enemy units you or your allies come into collision with take some damage and get stunned. Enemies can only be affected by stampede impact once.”
