-----------------------------------------------------

My ideas of the buff Roshan clearly needs at this point, as he's been far too easy to take down lately. Let me go through each little section of the changes above.

Firstly, removing the ability to even interrupt Rosh while he's walking to the other pit should heavily reduce the amount of bugs with him and the Twin Gates, at least I hope.

The next big change is him having super high health regen while no one is hurting him. This means sabotaging and stealing Rosh from the enemy team now takes a bit more effort if they decide to back off.

The next set of changes are mostly to help him scale better throughout the game. Especially, against high physical and magical damage. His max health and health per minute being reduced mostly equates to pure damage being better against him, which I think is fine.

Rosh getting a very weak cleave that is mostly there to destroy mass amounts of units will help mostly with facetanking with creeps and illusions, especially when his Slam isn't enough or is just on cooldown.

The extreme attack speed changes are mostly because he's screwed over way too much by attack speed reduction. This makes him far less so. For example, Untouchable from Enchantress at level 3 lowers attack speed by 200. Currently, this leaves Roshan doing 1 attack every 2 seconds. With this change, he'll instead do 1 attack every 1.4 seconds.

Spell Block becoming a Spell Reflect akin to Mirror Shield seems like the best choice, as it makes debuffing him more interesting, since someone who procs the Block will also have a spell cast on them.

Rosh Bash dealing pure damage and having a scaling damage buff means high armor heroes can no longer face tank Roshan and be totally safe. Made even more apparent by the increased attack speed per minute.

Lastly, Slam will now do a short silence and disarm, disrupting teams that pile in, and giving more ample opportunities to the enemy team to retaliate against a Roshing team. The Slam also now does damage across the entire pit, making ranged heroes less good at risk free damage.
