Most likely fake, they forgot the gold/bronze rims on the rares. But I think they may be good guesses.

I don't think you should be able to bash on your first hit on your hero.

Clutched out a 3v5 ranked win. Our solo offlaner never could load his hero into the game and tried for 5 minutes before giving up, well after first blood. We tried to talk him into abandoning before first blood but he wanted to keep trying. He eventually gets the abandon but the game is going to count anyway.
Well after another minute or so our mid Huskar abandoned around 6 minutes. I can't blame him for leaving; he lost the lane to Invoker by deciding to leap on an Exort Invoker under his tower with cold snap and forged spirits online. But this leaves me (Luna) and my 2 supports (Dazzle) and (Ogre) to face the inevitable. We entertained quitting because...well obviously. Rarely do I give up but I was ready to queue and hope for a better game. We were up against Invoker, Slark, Sky, Weaver and QoP (that's 4 cores vs 1 and 2 supports for those keeping count).
Down 15K XP and who knows how much gold at ~25 minutes and being split push chipped to death defending base, we took and won a couple of fights (better called skirmishes than full on 5v3 engages), got some levels and some gold and just sort of hung on. They were so committed to pushing they forgot they could sit back and farm up some sieging items.
Well eventually we killed 2 or 3, took aegis and decided we had to push down mid as 3 and try to break the base and end the game. QoP was pushing one of our T3 towers and we just ignored her. Not like we were going to win a protracted game 3v5. Got some more pickoffs, burned aegis and died...bought back and BoT'd back in, wiped and ended.
42 minutes of 3v5 in a match we probably shouldn't have won if it had been a full 5v5.
Never give up, boys. Never, ever give up. Make the mothafuckas earn it every time.
(says match didn't count; it counted.)

There is no gold/bronze on this page once the items are known.
And buy a BKB, my god.
I like how Undying has no core items, you litterally just build what ever you think is best for the game. If feel you are sort of stuck with a single skill build though, I can't think of a situation you don't want make tombstone. Maybe you really want the level 2 heal early?
Also, it looks like Pudge is going to take his rightful place as #1 most picked hero soon, he is really close to sniper in 6.84.

I would consider guardian greaves core on undying. It's a great item for early fights and dives (still a mek at that point). It also keeps undying's mana up, it gives him a bigger mana pool to spam more spells in the span of a single fight, and helps him survive while they beat on you while your zombies beat on them.

Yeah considering Undying is a Known Arcane/Mek Builder GG boots seem like a no-brainer as a core item.

oh heeeeeeellllll nawwwwwww not my kunkka....fuck.....

I think they might give him a bit of a texture upgrade but not a remodel.
Out of the ones that 'need one the most' (Zeus, Slardar, Mirana, Viper) I can only really see Viper getting a whole new look.
Gentle Rodriguez

Mirana doesn't need a new look anyway, just a really subtle touch up. Actually a lot of heroes need that, Jakiro looks like trash.
There's a lot of models that need some touch up and you named the ones that are more commonly brought up but I think guys like Undying, Tide, Jakiro and Enigma also need some love.
I doubt they'll touch any of the girls.
I really want a Visage immortal but no one is going to vote for that
I voted for visage
I voted for visage
sweet if no one else votes for anything now, visage wins with 2 votes!
thanks

The animations for the new wards are really cool
You don't enjoy being chrushed in lane and then getting all T1 pushed with tombs under 10 mins? You're a bad person! You should say this is best version ever!

Other than Gyro is there no other counter to undying?

I'm looking at stuff they might nerf with Undying and that deathlust buff of the zombies seems a bit ridiculous. 400 health threshold at level 4 tombstone? That's half health or even more for most heroes.
Edit:wrote Bloodlust, meant deathlust, the buff zombies get when your life drops below the threshold.

Does that mean mouz to disband after TI qualifiers / TI main? Seems to be a common occurance
This is nothing like before! They actually signed a team before the qualifiers as opposed to picking up the one unsigned team who qualifies!

Oh right they dont count as "hits" anymore
Hmm, I don't know.. A lot of Aghanim's upgrades are new/altered. Probably one of the bigger changes.
No, but I went above 1080p and could not stand the tiny mouse cursor.
Hmmm so it's not designed to scale well? I'm looking at driving DotA on a 4k panel and considering my options.
thank god this has been happening to someone else, it has been driving me up the fucking wall

It's been a bug for a while. It's fixed in the latest beta client.

I think it's possible, and I'm sure you can do something to make the cursor bigger, but I didn't want to put forth the effort for simply super-sampling. If you have a 4K display it might be worth it.

People don't want a redesign, they want updated textures and a breakdown of the model for better Workshop item support.
Keep fighting the good fight! Bugs aside, general consensus is that 6.84 is the best patch in a long time... and I agree.
We might get some minor tweaks in 6.84a and b soon enough, but I think the general feeling of the current meta will stay until after TI5.Early teamfights, lots of ganks, comeback potential through big teamfights and new items, less so through extended jungle farming into the lategame (except for Alchemist, oh my).
