that's a scary realistic changelog, even if it is a joke. Kind of mean spirited imo to go so realistic with your joke it seems real (and to even hype before that you should believe the unexpected).
So we'll see I guess if it's a joke or not. But those notes seem so real...

He mentions Samoa in his tweets. Where it is currently April 1st. I'll leave it at that.

Random buff ideas:
Skywrath
-Arcane bolt travel speed to 600
-Arcane bolt deals 50% damage in a 75 Aoe. (Or just large enough to hit two creeps standing next to each other).
-Concussive shot cd to 20/17/14/11
Tuskar
-Ice Shards have a sub ability that reverses the orientation of the shards when formed to block people chasing
-Snowball has fixed 500 MS
Ogre
-Ignite has 150 AoE from the beginning, multicast levels increase it by 100/200/300
-x2 multicast chance to 35/45/50
PA
-Stifling dagger now silences for 0.5/1/1.5/2 seconds
-Blur has an active that works like a level one Phase shift
-Maybe rescale crit somehow
Witch doctor
-Cask stuns for 1.5 seconds, but stun time is reduced by 33% for each subsequent bounce to the same hero, so the duration goes 1.5 - 1.0 - 0.66- etc
Wraith King
-Change ult back to 50% slow, add ASU that increases slow to 75%, shortens cd at level 6 and 11 and also refreshes the cd on Wraithkings items when he revives with ult. (Probably shouldn't work on RFO.)

SB is the worst hero in the game

I don't consider this a reason to believe something is fake or not anymore.
Lich's spell name using its Dota (Dark Ritual) name and not its Dota 2 name (Sacrifice) however, does cast doubts.
I meant the item, have no problems with the space cow.

The true plot twist: Dota 2 being discontinued, Dota 1 to be the sole platform going forward.
Odd, seems a group added an entire chest to the workshop. Wonder if they actually have some deal with Valve, or decided to just test their luck:

There's zero chance that changelog is real, is written in way that at a glance it seems believeable but if you look closely is has to be fake, right guys? guys?

The uploader of that collection needs to make less chest items and more updates to the Dreadknight set.

Apparently Luminous told a person on the dev forums about some of the changes IF was planning, hours before Bruno posted the log and they match. No idea if this is reliable or not lol

My take is that it's realish, but ultimately more on the fake side. I don't think it's current, but might have a few changes that end up being real. My thoughts for why this is probably fake (or outdated or incomplete)
- No Invoker or TB changes, which is kind of strange (but not entirely out of the question)
- Calling Lich's sacrifice by its original dota name.
- Two period typo on the Spirit Break change.
But honestly none of those are 100% damning. Valve has made typos before and IF has neglected to change heroes many people see as problems. So ehh...

Dota already had a few 6.80x patches (to fix bugs), so they very well could just move to 6.81 to avoid confusion.

S4 is still the best western Puck.
Had a better look at the "patch notes". And regardless of whether they are legit or not I though some changes/ideas were interesting:
I've seen this idea on reddit, found it interesting and not just from how cool it sounds for how the game starts. Its pretty much a small buff to level 1 Roshan and heroes with high vision during the night.
Guess it could help his early laning and make a soul ring even better on him.
Would be interesting to see this kind of stuff, like Doom disabling item auras on doomed champions. Wonder how useful it would be against right-clickers if it disabled lifesteal from items such as vlad's?
I heard the remnant nerf hit him hard and made him useless after a big teamfight, I think this would help him in a balanced way. Thoughts?
The spear change would improve his survivability with his increased magic resist right?
Certainly improves his aghs (its considered the worst aghs upgrade right currently right?)
Probably would make smoke screen more useful, wonder if it means rikki isn't revealed by auto-attacks only or that detection doesn't work? Even though it would make him a bigger pub stomper, what does everyone think on how helpful it would be to make him more competitive?
Interesting idea tbh. Would make it pretty useful in teamfights, being able to cut damage from luna's ult by 50% sounds pretty strong. Not very good with his aghs though.
Pretty useful against heroes standing still while invis like TA or SK.
I'm a fan of Undying and pretty intrigued by this idea. It would certainly solve the problem of zombies taking too long to pile up. Really interested on thoughts for this one.
Why not always just give the aoe vision on yourself when using it, sounds like a waste of an ult if self cast doesn't do the global damage.
edit: whoops nvm, though it was his ult
Small buff to illusion heroes?
Again, whether these are legit or not, thought some ideas where pretty interesting. Thoughts?
