Item changes? Simple. It's useless to mantein 2 pure damage items which bring nothing else to the game than "recipe costs more". They simply removed them and rebalanced the costs and benefits of items. That's good. This means that probably more items are coming in with different abilities, other than "+xx damage"

I believe that the reason for removing those items was because they hardly served any purpose except filling up in items.

Halberd was a lesser Mithril Hammer, because it basicly was just random damage added.

Bastard Sword follows the same reason, it was just lessening the gap, serving no real purpose.

Techies semiport to HoN, I dunno...

oh ok, thats make sense now, i read about nigma post in the reddit and he said he believed that new item is on the board and they are discussing it, but they cant just add it into game because an item can affect the wholegame because item can be brought by any hero

I'm glad they're updating the items.

Can't wait for the next gold collection avatar.
