[edit] 1.66.1 Patch Notes

• Fixed the F6 bug

[edit] General

• Significant Lane Creep AI changes
  • These all involve the assist trigger that causes the creeps to aggro you when you attack an enemy hero:
  1. When a hero causes the assist trigger to go off, there is a 200ms delay before the creeps will turn and come at you
  2. Creeps will chase for exactly 1600ms (down from 1800ms)
  3. If a creep is in the middle of an attack animation but has not hit its attack impact point (600ms), it will de-aggro and stop its attack as long as you are out of it's short melee range
     • AKA: Creeps will not finish attacks they start on you if they hit the end of the trigger
  4. A creep must deal damage before it can be called by the assist trigger again
     • This means if you tug, they must turn around and actually deal damage to a unit before it can chase again
  5. You must be within 600 units of an enemy hero to cause the assist trigger to go off
