What does 'deny a friendly unit' mean? So are the different classes (support, carry, etc.) 'hard' roles or just suggestions? I never pay attention to them atm, and basically play each different character in the same way. Is this completely wrong?

How many new heroes?
bone7 has visa issues
Eye patches too.
Who needs carries when you have a CM + Witch Doctor lane that wrecks so hard?
Denying is like last hitting, but on your own creeps. Denying your own creep gives the enemy hero no gold and less XP. You can also deny your own lane towers when they get low enough. I would suggest watching some youtube videos on denying. Its a very crucial thing to know.
The "class" suggestions are very out of date, but still mostly true. You can stick to them till you get to know the heroes better (so when youre 1000 hours in

Clockworks remake apparently shipped

I guess you can't queue for ranked as a party of four now? Or have I just never had this happen?

Seems to be a bug introduced today. At least I hope it's a bug, it would be really odd to block four stacks
DP needs to switch games

Streaming patch stuff, including all the new F2P sets etc: http://www.twitch.tv/cyborgmatt/
It's not a bug. It's to prevent solo queuers being stacked with a party of four.

Looks like for clock they just plated his texture quality by a lot and gave him a shiny new portrait
Good enough for me! Also he's set up for items now.

Well I'm going to have quite an awkward time then. The majority of my games with friends are four stacks. Guess I'll have to shuffle around looking for a 5th or kick someone out to only play with 3. How lame.

singsing seems to really like his ember
Nothing gives me satisfaction like seeing a doom, NP, LC or any other insufferable jungler on the other team, picking up wards right away and just magic bushing the shit out of their jungle. Not a single person at my tier dewards and the confused and underleveled jungler comes stumbling into lane at 8 minutes looking for farm.

hearthstone? cause I can relate in dota 2. I only have tinkmaster overspark. Really fun card but I rarely play it
No it's diablo. I've been playing hearthstone but less lately since it's always the same cards and arena get boring after a while.

lol man, at thsi point of the game i just laugh at pudge first pickers on ranked. i laugh at the pick and i laugh even harder at all the hooks missed and how bad they are. i just dont give a fuck anymore, if we win we win if not, fuck it.

I'm glad they're diversifying modes for those who want it...
But at the same time I can't imagine this being anything but a train wreck and lots of pictures being posted "volvo plz look at the team you gave us this aint balanced".
Edit:wait this isnt real is it
That shop update for tournaments is nice though.
Wait, is this real?
Pudge is a perfectly viable pick. Even if they miss hooks you can still be useful by holding someone down with Dismember and a point blank hook. Get Blink to be even more useful.
I've never understood why people give Pudge pickers shit in ranked.
Is this Balanced Draft thing actually in or just spotted in the files? If yes, ranked, unranked, or both?
Could of sworn that string was already in the files. Guess I'll find out when I get home.
I wonder if we are going to get a large update to tie into the release of free to pay, or if the next big content patch is still a ways away.
yes,yes,yes,yes,yes, so much yes.
Cloud9 carries EE, not the other way, do you even watch them?
To be fair, 90% of pudge pickers are just the worst people.
If this isn't real I'm going to be upset.
Riot beat to the punch yet again.
I don't count on it
