I can't recall, but do your abilities get reset when you get reborn?

Yes

 

[Pungza]

Ability draft is really fun, can see myself playing it alot

 

[Emerson]

Friend tells me that Reverse Captains mode is seen in test client. Anyone else?

 

[dave is ok]

Someone on reddit posted this:

Folder structure has been renamed to Nevermore from Shadow_Fiend.

Model files has been renamed to nevermore.mdl from shadow_fiend.mdl

ShadowFiend has been renamed to Nevermore

nevermore.mdl is still the old Shadow Fiend Model

New Voice Sounds such as "Nevermore is here", "Never say Nevermore" and "It's now or Nevermore." when spawning(I'm sure Cyborg will release them all soon)

 

[shira]

Phoenix is one of those heroes that will never need an in-game item. He's perfect as is.

I'm surprised they didn't commision anuxi for a custom chinese arcana. Feathers and balls for days.

 

[fiore]

That supernova looks amazing

 

[Raytow]

Man TB is pretty fun for a melee hero, damn you Valve! I don't want to buy his arcana, but he looks so cool with it =/

Nevermore is here isn't new.

Edit: None of those are new, in fact.

 

[BraXzy]

Oh wow we are being spoilt. This update looks incredible.

The replay takeover thing sounds insane! So now you can get a bunch of friends together and try and reenact 'the play' from TI2 or something. Epic.

 

[Razzer]

So, whilst I am not really getting phoenix that much gameplay wise, his visual and audio effects are sublime. I tried his E for the first time and suddenly I was firing a massive laser, it's beautiful. And Supernova has already been posted so no need fro me to explain. The other two look nice as well.

 

[Mohasus]

Can't wait to play a Bristleback with fiery soul/centaur's passive/berserk's blood (just one of these). A mage riki (WITH CONCOCTION) also seems fun.

 

[Razzer]

Imagine Enchant totem plus shadow walk plus Walrus Punch (and some other steroid).

 

[Borgnine]

ShadowFiend has been renamed to Nevermore

Can I quoth you on this?

 

[Hellish]

Someone with in-house powers should make one in test so we could play ability draft as the bots seem to just afk in fountain.

 

[Zeth]

Takeovers create new unique replays you can presumably also takeover. Inception.gif for sure.

wont you just rage quit and leave soon as draft is over?



On the real though conceptor was hosting this mode already a few monthes ago. It was the omg lobbies if anyone remembers. Also yall dont know shit til you do the overpower take aim psi blades impetus build

 

[Skab]

I think he is mistaken.

 

[dave is ok]

I was just taking stuff from reddit. I thought he was always named Nevermore in game files.

What does this mean?

 

[inkls]

So yeah, terroblade has some pretty awesome pushing power

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Bottle, Travels, Blink, Sheep, and Aghs now core on Tinker.

It's too good, guys. RIP dagon.

 

[Hylian7]

Holy shit I had a dream the other night that Phoenix only made bird noises. I am some kind of doto prophet

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Ew... dodged a bullet there. I wonder how abruptly they changed plans after the negative reception, considering this is basically fully modeled.

 

[Kard8p3]

So GAF, this might be a dumb question so apologies in advance, but with blink not costing any mana, think it would be worth it for TB?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

what the fuck is at thing, ballad?

I don't see why, no. His movespeed is STUPID fast (like CK fast), and his Q is a slow. I think he has enough ground-closing tools to not need it.

 

[Chris R]

He was Poenly making a pun.

 

[Dinosaur Tamer]

It's the WIP Pheonix model that has been in the game files for a few weeks.

 

[LiQuid!]

I'm here to tell all of you guys that based on first hand knowledge, Magnus' RP into Aghs Lion's finger is a clusterfuck of badness that needs to be removed from Dota.

Phoenix? Like...Phoenix Phoenix? A model for the hero that was just added to the test client Phoenix? Surely not. That looks like hot, smoldering ass.

 

[Schweinehund]

Holy shit TB is insane, loved his demon form. The normal form feels a bit stiff with its attack animations, Illidan was a bit more fluid and fast. I really want to see the arcana now.

Also going to be so much trolling with his ult, stole sniper bots health on my team .

 

[Strider]

gah damn Terrorblade is fun. Purposefully taking damage from a tower then swapping health with an enemy is too funny lol

About to try Phoenix. Then Ability draft.

I think the model is new, just the textures were old

I wonder if they going to go with this or something totally different

 

[Razzer]

So does anyone know how you are meant to build Phoenix. I just played a hilarious bot game where I went mid and got a radiance and a heart, going 4-4-0 for my skills. The W does a ton of damage if you can get all 4 onto one target. With that, Q, ult, then spam spirits again upon emerging from the ult I was almost teamwiping them on my own. Ofc this was with a good level advantage cus it was bots and I had an easy time in lane where a human would punish me, but the damage was good. Does that sound legitish to people? (I doubt it is.)

 

[balladofwindfishes]

With his name being Nevermore, maybe they're taking the raven theme of the chinese version and going all the way with it

 

[Skab]

That was only one of like 4 concepts floating around for him.

 

[JustinBB7]

Played both heroes, tried doing RAD but server disconnected (was lobby game with bots because I'm not level 13 in test).

Terror is fun, but nothing really special about him I feel. Illusion based hero with a neat little ult. Phoenix however is fun as fuck. Shame the other team usually kills you before you can get your ult off.

Still have no idea how you can kill the "beast". Maybe it's just not in test yet. The new map also doesn't seem to work unless you load it somewhere or something? I only ticked themed map and just got the normal one when I got a match.

 

[spk]

That SF art looks a lot better than what we got

no no no no just give us dota 1 swaggerfiend with some fire plz

Anxious to try out the re-balanced LC counter

Phoenix is a support, you build as you would look to build any STR support. Hearts, Shivas, meks, blink are all legit. Rad is a facerolling item. Should not be a common purchase.

 

[sixghost]

Ability Draft is pretty damn weird.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Items that have been purchased while dead can now be sold, if that item was bought during the same death. Previously, no items could be sold while dead.

This is a nice change.
