[Granadier]

Random ability draft looks like something that will be epic when you're drunk.

You now lose one gold per second if you haven't picked a hero after the selection timer runs out in All Pick

Very nice.

 

[BearPawB]

Lion
Aghanim's Scepter now causes Finger of Death to hit units within a 200 AoE of the primary target

Wowza at those Void buffs.

random ability draft...is this the equivalent of ARAM in LoL for dota 2. just a fun mess around mode

 

[ViviOggi]

I love how the Mattfrog just swapped Kaolin's silence and stun components, pure genius.

Best balance patch ever.

 

[Manus]

Lol I can't believe people think Brood was OP. one stun and she's done for.

 

[traveler]

Ability draft sounds awesome. Terrorblade looks awesome. (Base seems better than arcana to me, but that's fine, at least they're distinct looks) Would have preferred Phoenix, but I can't complain- awesome new mode, 6.80, a new hero added, tons of cosmetics, a new event, and new cosmetics is plenty. I just hope ES is still playable; I really loved the concept and was sad to see how broken he was.

Also, R.I.P. patch day matt.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Glad they didnt nerf Venomancer out of the game. Glad they did to Earth Spirit.

 

[abunai]

[Kard8p3]

Time to spend money I don't need to..

 

[JustinBB7]

Would rather have the abilities just be randomed for you in that mode, but picking them is fine too, will be fine either way.

Meepo buffs yeaaahh

 

[Drkirby]

RP into finger g_g

RP into Refresher Scepter Finger.

Rampage


I wonder if the Hero Drafting will actually change how your hero looks like in the art.

 

[Gav47]

Damn, Faceless void got a nice buff

 

[BearPawB]

RP into Refresher Scepter Finger.

Rampage

Or vaccum

 

[close to the edge]

WC3 had orb items that added extra stuff to your auto attacks.

http://classic.battle.net/war3/basics/heroitemspermanent.shtml ctrl-f orb

You can also see how much some items were inspired by vanilla WC3 items. (for instance, the Amulet of Spell Shield is basically Linken's without the stats and with a worse cooldown, Cloak of Flames is basically Radiance and so on)

 

[Haly]

Bristleback
Base damage reduced by 4

Welp. Pack it up folks. BB nerfed to the ground.

 

[dorkimoe]

Losing gold per second for not picking a hero? best thing they ever added. fuck those idiots

[Raytow]

Welp. Pack it up folks. BB nerfed to the ground.

[KingKong]

I wonder how many times IceFrog will buff Windrunner's ult before just changing it for something useful

 

[Granadier]

Would rather have the abilities just be randomed for you in that mode, but picking them is fine too, will be fine either way.

Meepo buffs yeaaahh

Ursa with Divided we Stand.

So now that Tinker has an Agh's upgrade, that means there are only 5 INT heroes without Agh's upgrades.

 

[Haly]

RIP EARTH SPIRIT

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Can't wait to miss observer ward transfer and put them in fountain.

Love the bottle change. I like healing, and it's going to be really useful for mana.

NOBODY HAS AN EXCUSE TO NOT GET GG BRANCHES.
