what did he mean by this?

>Each team also has 5 Shrines inside the base.

How is anyone supposed to take high ground?

tell me this is just some custom game bulldogs playing.

Runes

Runes are now two different categories: Powerup Runes (Haste, Double Damage, etc.) and Bounty Runes.
Bounty Runes are no longer located in the River.
Powerup Rune spawns now occur at only one river location at a time.
Each of the four jungles now spawns a Bounty Rune every 2 minutes.

Shrine

There are Shrines near each team's Secret Shop and new Ancient Camp locations. Shrines can be teleported to. Shrines become vulnerable whenever all Tier 2 towers fall for the respective team.
Each team also has 5 Shrines inside the base.
Shrines have an ability with a 5 minute cooldown. Allied heroes can right-click to activate it, generating a 500 AoE aura that lasts for 5 seconds. The aura provides 120/40 HP/MP regeneration per second (heal values increase during the game by 2 HP / 1 MP per minute). Activates once you are in melee range after right-clicking on it. Shrines ability becomes available to use outside of the base once creeps spawn at 0:00.
Shrines do not grant vision.
Shrines provide a 150 gold bounty for each player on the team when killed.

Jungle

The Primary jungle for each team now has 1 Ancient, 2 hard, 2 medium, and 1 small camp.
The Secondary jungle for each team now has 1 Ancient, 1 hard, and 1 medium camp.

The most broken shit in this patch is the shrines, by far.

>Jungler now a standard role in every game
>High ground taking harder than ever before

Ilexa is obviously going to be an Intelligence hero
I wonder what her skills will be

...

SO
FUCKING
FURIOUS

ola reddito

Why the fuck Icefrog is copying fucking HotS now? What's the point of this?
Port Abathur from that garbage fucking game while you are doing this, then

it's going to be my mission to completely ruin all the shitty greedy junglers in this upcoming patch

not that that's possible since they will be at 100% hp most of the time thanks to shrines

Only thing I don't like about the patch.

>Root Mechanics

>Root now disables the following movement spells: Burrow Strike, Waveform, Blink Strike, Phantom Strike, Reality Rift, Pounce, Skewer, Ball Lightning, Timber Chain, Rolling Boulder, Icarus Dive, Leap, Poof, and Time Walk.

I enjoyed fucking over naga with these

>"Dota 2 is nothing like League!"
>Dota 2 becomes more like League with new patch
>People realize how shit Dota 2 is
>Everyone moves to League

Say goodbye to your shitty game XD

Icefrog has always said he hated Techies. The only reason they're in Dota 2 is because people wouldn't shut the fuck up about them.

HOW MAD ARE U xD

UMAD SON? UMAD???

YEAH, U MAD!!!

What Did They Mean By This?

Powershot damage reduction per unit hit increased from 10% to 20%Powershot damage reduction per unit hit increased from 10% to 20%Powershot damage reduction per unit hit increased from 10% to 20%

MONKEY KING HAS A 2000 (TWO THOUSAND) RANGE BLINK. ICEFROGGGGGGGGGG

>having to appropriate stuff from an inferior MOBA
i cannot fathom the shame you people must be experiencing right now

Dotards will you ERP with me now?

How do I change it so that the enemy stats "replace" my own when selected, or any unit. I'm pretty sure this is an option, but I can't find it.

SO it's a 3000 range slight of fis with a critt? Holy shit

Wow all of these level 25 talents are pretty cool

Too bad I play support and literally NEVER get level 25.

LICH:
Frost Armor can now target invulnerable structures.
Level 10: +125 Health OR +15 Movement Speed
Level 15: +100 Cast Range OR +5 All Stats
Level 20: +150 Damage OR +120 Gold/Min
Level 25: +25 Frost Armor Structure Armor OR Attacks Apply 30% MS and AS slow

F R E E SKADI AT LEVEL 25

F R E E SKADI

Alright, that new game start animation is fucking incredible

>new HUD
>it looks exactly like the new LoL HUD
>pic of Tiny loading DotA looks EXACTLY LIKE THE FUCKING LOL LOADING SCREEN

Is today April 1? Please tell me it is.

Neutrals spawn time from 0:30/1/2/3/4/etc. to 0:30/1/3/5/7/etc.

HOW IS THIS BALANCED? ONE OF SK'S TALENTS IS LITERALLY + 50HP REGEN

Isn't this pretty fucking crazy?

I honestly don't think the changes are that bad.

The Roshan is in a stupid place but now Dire doesn't have the advantage any more and more rosh fights.

I'm kinda digging this patch apart from the shrines desu.

Sorry that you're now COMPLETELY irrelevant since now we're just a better version of you

Sorry bro

so are we literally league of legends now?

so looking over it, the Talent things arent that big of a deal

First of all, only carries ever reach level 25 and it takes like 40-50 minutes to do that even. Supports are lucky to ever even reach 16 in a game. So the lower levels of talents are buffs for supports who cant afford items. And the higher level talents just make the games end faster at 50 minutes.

But fuck those jungle changes

>he's a shitskin cuck numale faggot jew kike thirdie animeNEET semi-cuck flyover madboy

At least that Tiny playing computer games looks cute as fuck.

HAHAHAHAHA JUST NERF MY SHIT UP ICEFROG
