I saw Icefrog at a grocery store in Seattle yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnÂ’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Ribbit Ribbit?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

He's totally right though.
7.00 didn't come out til December last year.
That's not exactly a fair comparison. 7.00 was the biggest overhaul to DotA we've seen to date imo. It completely altered the game with the implementation of talents and removal of attribute bonuses. It stands to reason a patch of that magnitude would take longer than the average content patch. Given that Valve is adding 2 original heroes this is a pretty big patch, but it's also been longer from 7.06f to now than it was from 6.88 to the release of 7.00.

pls icetoad save us from same heroes at FIRST MAJOR OF THE SEASON
Starting to think it might be Nov 6 after dotapit.
Long break till next event, after League Worlds + Blizzcon
yeah but that would be depressing as hell
shame we have like 5-6 tourneys here that are all being played on
the games are good, the teams are good, but the picks are all pretty rote at this point with the exception of 1 or 2 heroes

You do this to yourself. You keep setting yourself up for disappointment.
Patch in December. Mark my words.
aight so evidently this screenshot is making the rounds dunno how true it is (if real or doctored/fake/old) but claim is it's from perfect world in response to chinese patch fervor:
claim is that the patch is coming in "a few days" or "near term" and that they are in the process of translating but it isn't finished yet (either the balance or translation)? my chinese expert said it translates to "near term" which i have no idea what timeframe that gives, the original poster of the screenshot said "few days." any chinese experts on gaf ??
What am I supposed to be reading here
nice
wonder what the time estimate actually translates to because "few days" and "near term" sound completely different -- the latter implying it could be another month or so
perfect world responded to chinese patch fervor by claiming they were in the process of translating the notes and that the patch is close. the time estimate given remains unclear based on the translations i've seen with some ppl saying it means a few days and others that it's more ambiguous

It's time.
also are both new champions debuting at the same time with the next patch or are they being rolled out randomly piecemeal in the future, I haven't been keeping up aside from living vicariously through anbokr

When they announced at TI, they said (or strongly implied) it would be the same update. Not really sure what "TWO NEW HEROES" "THE DUELING FATES" update would mean otherwise.
aight hype train mb dead - my rd2l captain chinese expert said he originally misread and it doesn't even say anything about a timeframe (so looks like the original poster of the screenshot also jumped ahead), evidently it translates to:
"patch is so slow"
"we are not getting alot of sleep recently because we are busy, you can guess what we are busy on... smile emoji"
"you can sleep easy, i know what you are thinking of, it is not that fast"
so actually implies patch is further off sadly, if anything, JEBAITED

That art lolthis might(read: 99% fake) be fake, but apparently the patch is coming today at 2200 cest

Seriously doubt this is real. #1 you have the off-screen nature of these things usually being fake.
Disregarding that though, at the top the headings "2 Heroes", etc. Those are exactly the same as the top bar of the Dota 2 blog right now.
The background image also is just a screencap from the trailer. While you could argue that maybe it's a placeholder, something that's allegedly releasing today isn't going to have a placeholder at this point.
Plus if Artifact was really coming out with this, don't you think it would have a dedicated section/page on here? Valve's style with these pages lately is to have one long thing to scroll through, maybe a seperate page for patch notes, seperate page for tours of the new heroes, but the summary would all be on one page.
HOPE (i think that particular screenshot is fake)
definitely feels like they intend(ed?) to get the patch out before esl major with the "about a month" comment on Sept. 18 but i guess it's just not ready -- we'll find out in the next couple days
see i assumed they learned by now and vastly overestimated the release day with the "month" comment to give themselves breathing room lol

i mean, that's why i wrote 99% fake
posting fake notes are always fun

Someone make fake notes pls
yeah but you'd just think after underestimating dates for years they'd be more careful and vastly overestimate
i guess they underestimate their overestimate ecks dee
I STILL HAVE HOPE THOUGH -- ideal scenario is the perfect world comment is strictly about the translation and once that's all locked down, we get patch later today or tomorrow

Im gonna have to stream 50 techies games arent i FUCK
Techies
- Land Mines can't be placed within a 1000 AoE of each other
- Stasis Traps take 10 seconds to activate.
- Only one remote mine can be detonated at a time. If you use the ability to detonate multiple of them, they detonate one after another, one per second.
- Silence removed from Blast Off!
Necrophos
- Reaper's Scythe no longer modifies respawn times.
- Ghost Shroud removed
- Sadist added.
Tinker
- Aghanim's gives 5 missiles instead of 4.
- Level 10 talent change to +1000 AoE March.
The few times there were legitimate leaks, they were like right before the actual drop. I specifically remember the 7.00 notes being dropped a couple of hours before the actual notes dropped, and no one (including myself) believed Talents were real.
