Game Mechanics (Ally only weapon buff things)

[LucasBlitz]

Since Dagger of Fate now only buffs damage against allies why not make the buff blue? I mean in the digital game it just activates the effect and only shows as still 1 damage. So instead why not make a new rule for the digital game that the blue buff means it does more damage to allies that way stuff like DoF and Pithing Spear make a bit more sense?
This is a more cosmetic thought anyway.
Btw the effect would be blue to represent the item is "enchanted" for a better proficiency against allies.

I'm all for better special-effects in game, even if cosmetic in nature. It can give the game an exciting new glow factor.

I made a request to Wulven to put a shiny gold-chain around my Millstalker's neck. That would rock!

Bumping this for more attention and a slight hope it might get added to the game maybe?

[OccultFormula]

I love this idea.

[maxi1230]

Should be added.

[Ganjamus]

I like this idea. Although Pithing Spear now gets the bonus damage against heroes as of 2.89.

[Lahiri]

+1.
But there should be a way to see both attack values.

This is the type of shit you ask yourself when making changes. If you know what you are doing.

I dunno... it would be a lot more difficult to make clear to a new player - because they'd see a blue 3, and not realize what the 'blue tint' on it meant until after they used it a while and put 2 and 2 together (leading to a lot of "why didn't it do 3 damage!?!?" bug posts), I would lean towards more of a hover-over text, or possibly display the damage that will be dealt on the 'attack' button after the target has been selected (seen a lot of people pump weapons against Viska for example, despite heroes only being able to deal 1 damage to her regardless of buff)

Huh?

That kind of stuff is inevitable though, sort of like the Viska example you provided. It's just less confusing as a weapon you buffed but it still has "1" on it imo.
