No surprise hero

Don't know what I expected. Some of these sets are nice though, and in general I could care less about hats.

edit; What who the hell uses a gamepad on Dota. Why the hell would they spend time on that over getting a hero in here.

Read again. It's for spectator controls.

I saw it, I still never heard about it in the past 2 years lol. Saw someone saying it could be for disabled people, that's good but the thought of controller for any part of Dota never once crossed my mind.

It's not for playing the game. It's for watching it. If youre watching the international on your tv in big picture mode, you now have a remote for it.

Using your controller as some sort of remote while watching TI3 could turn out to be quite nice for some people.

Patch! Patch! Patch!

How late in the game are Valve intending to ship LC? Doubting she sees any of CM anytime soon.

Purges are supposed to instakill summons :x

I know the Diffusal Blade purge does that intentionally (a stupidly high damage value to summons), but I guess Demonic Purge now just does its sticker value to summons?

Not really, purges were supposed to deal extra damage to summons, except for Shadow Demon. Diffusal Blade Purge will instantly kill summons and illusions, a Satyr Trickster Purge will do 400 damage to summons and illusions. Shadow demon does not do any extra damage to summons.

The spell was never suposed to deal any extra damage to summons. Really.

Unclear on what you mean by extra, the purge deals damage at the beginning and end of its duration under normal circumstances (hence sticker value). Does it deal no damage whatsoever to summons?

Other purge spells like Difusal Blade effect or the neutral small Satyr do extra damage at the begining if the targeted unit is a summon. (Difusal does 999999 in dota1, Satyr does 400)

The extra damage that demonic purge was supposed to do is 0 (it was killing the summons ON CAST, so they died as soon as you finished casting it). The damage that happens after it ends is a different story.
