Version 2.6.4 Preview:
--------------
This week's batch of Heroes of Newerth changes and improvements includes a very special Community Collaboration Balance Patch, bringing another level of community-inspired content to the battlefields of Newerth. With the help of an extremely passionate group of HoN community members, S2's balance design team asked for changes that the HoN community felt needed the most attention and opened the floor to balance discussion. There are 30 heroes and 3 items going under the knife in patch 2.6.4 as we aim to realign the Heroes of Newerth experience with the core aspirations of the HoN community in mind.
Without further adieu, check out the list of Heroes and Items included in tomorrow's balance patch, along with a sneak peek interview with lead balance designer DOGKaiser about what it took to make this "Dream Patch" a reality.
Heroes:
*Andromeda
*Blacksmith
*Blitz

I hope there will be major changes to some of the heroes listed (Scout, MQ, Defiler comes to mind) instead of the patch being full of smaller changes. I do like the change on thejavelin though. Most of all I just want a rework for

soo umm...Pickled brain? is it being added back to the side shop?
They're changing it so couriers can't pick them up any more. (Said in the video). Also fixed a bug where if you put it down, enemies could take it and use it. Dying still gives the enemy access to it, though. Just placing it on the ground has been fixed.
how dare you even consider a rework for the legendary scouti hope there will be major changes to some of the heroes listed (scout, mq, defiler comes to mind) instead of the patch being full of smaller changes. I do like the change on the
