I´ve heard of the weirdness that was 5.xx Dota. There was a small compilation posted in a forum somewhere a couple years ago.
Nightstalker was Voidstalker and didn´t need night for full effect. Another Hero that was basically a siegetank, complete with immobile siegemode. Dozens of heroes with ensnare, long stun and/or avatar(Magic immunity) as skills. A hero that had 3 summon skills, so he could solo towers with ~10 summons around lvl 6. Original Invoker didnt have 10 spells. He had 27. The order in which you summoned Wex, Quas and Exort changed the skill you get too. The compilation was very funny.
I only once tried a pre 6.xx map, I think it was 5.83 or so, the last map before Icefrog took over. It had a very basic looking terrain, Chen had none of his skills he has now. Instead he had some generic crap and an orb that adds x% of his max hp in damage. The recipes had no icons. I´m pretty sure the items were very different too.
I played that map once or twice, but it felt unrefined to me.

I still remember my first map was somewhere around 6.30 or so. Mirana and Alchemist were my first new heroes. "Professional games" were played with teampick. TEAMPICK.
Sentinel could only pick Sentinel heroes and Scourge could only pick Scourge heroes. Sentinel was heavily favored because Beastmaster, Chen and Jakiro were much stronger back then(Also there were 2 other heroes that amde the standard Sentinel lineup which I don´t remember).
Chen was nerfed via nerf of jungle creeps. Jakiros double breath was like 110 mana on lvl 4, you could spam it forever.
Beastmaster Ult wasn´t nerfed until much later. Pre nerf the cooldown was 60s on all levels, manacost 150 all levels and range was somewhere around 1000 on all levels. 1000 range was awesome.

So much nostalgia.

One of my favorite moments as spec is when I dispersed 2 mortred 1k crits in a row, killing everyone on their team instantly.

My all time favorite moment is when my brother playing OD astralled me as lion ulted me. I still watch that replay and wonder how it worked, but I was astralled before the particle hit my model, so I lived, but lion's instant cast ult was used. One in a million.
