What? Pick tanky heroes? Really? You seem to be missing the whole point.
What IS the issue? Bounty Hunter didn't get any changes in the patch, and I haven't seen a huge upsurge in his pick rate in pro games or wins in pub games. (I think his pub winrate has actually gone down).
Not only about that. And how is there not a huge upsurge in his pick rate? If you want to get a Chen you simply MUST ban him now and even if they won't there are a lot of indirect buffs to him like offlane creep changes, more exp range and ability to leech exp from pulls. If you now don't kill him in lane, he will get a fast level 6 and that's really all that hero needs.
^ And that makes a hero overpowered?
If you're playing 3-1-1 to a 3-1-1 means BH will meet 3 heroes which most likely got some reliable disables, which means his life will be a hell as supports carry items to grant vision. Still OP? meh.
He needs farm too, what are you just going stealth in jungles and leeching xp? Might be ok for an enigma type but bh needs a few items.

Offlane BH leeching XP from both the jungle and the lane. As you can see, he wasn't really THAT useful. In fact, I didn't even really feel his impact as I was denying him in the lane and pretty much few shot him in team fights.
On the other side of course - http://dotabuff.com/matches/370237126
It really depends on how the team is doing as a whole IMO. The patch was a great buff, indeed, as a BH player I loved it myself, but I still don't see a great difference in my games.
Bh needs phase and a wand... his ulti gets gold after that
@Winter the first match is what happens against a shotgun morph against a squishy hero
Bounty snowballs so much tho http://dotabuff.com/matches/334782359 BH is the comeback king too
BH was already very good against junglers but now he can defeat a jungle hero so easily it really is OP.
All offlane heroes got buffed in 6.79. BH was already a first rate offlaner. Now he can out level the enemy safelane carry as a solo offlaner easily.
@winterchillz...if you were already very good at BH and are not facing excellent tri-lanes that would have been able to zone you out before then it won't change much.
But if you were not so good at BH it is now much easier. And a pro-level tri-lane that could have zoned out a BH now cannot. Far too many sentries are required to stop BH from getting plenty of xp since he does not have to last hit pull creeps to get the xp. Supports cannot afford to stop him. BH could even be checking the rune while they do a pull and get the xp. He only needs to be within 1300 range.
Can you position to leech the jungle xp and the wave xp at the same time? Where do you stand? Idk how big 1300 is.
Kill him twice or more before he reaches 6 and he becomes a lot less useful. One stun is enough, the slow from dust does the rest.
@Mark - You can.
i read this forum in disappointment, another qq thread about nothing, step up your gameplay, if you want to qq about something cry about lich. the hero gets exp now for denying his own creeps

Come on now, that hero can't be balanced anymore.
