woot, i only lose when sniper is on my team, theres so many better ranged carries in dota atm.
his early and midgame sucks compared to for example clinkz, he has no escape mech and his abilities dosen't scale aswell as other ranged carriees. drow, clinkz, huskar and alot of others seem like a better pick.
his nukes are decent, but thats all.

Lots of stuff happening behind-the-scenes, so a light update this week.

GAMEPLAY
- Added Meepo to Captain's Mode.
- Added Magnus to Captain's Mode.
- Fixed Reverse Polarity not pulling units from the right location.
- Fixed Necromastry loss count for odd numbers.
- Fixed Reverse Polarity stunning cycloned units.
- Fixed Incapacitating Bite working against Wards.

UI
- Fixed enemy Meepo illusions displaying the wrong health bars.
- Team profile shows tournaments that a team has participated in.
- Fixed bugs with cooldowns and disassembling Tranquil Boots.

VISUALS
- Updated Necronomicon visuals.

BOTS
- Added Templar Assassin to the list of heroes that bots will purchase invisibility-detection items for.
- When leading a target, bots will no longer target an ability in impassable terrain.
- Added more usage cases for Poison Touch.
- Earthshaker and Tidehunter bots are now more aggressive when they have Echo Slam and Ravage up, which should help them initiate more often.
- Fixed excessive lead time in Light Strike Array usage.
- Fixed case where AoE targeted abilities could be targeted on invisible enemies.
- Fixed bug with Shallow Grave where Dazzle bot would only rarely cast it on teammates.
- Windrunner bot will now more often follow up a successful Shackleshot with a Powershot.
- Ranged heroes will be slightly more aggressive when laning.
- Fixed issue where bots with lifesteal were overestimating their tankiness.
- Fixed Jugg's loadout to not have him buy boots first.
- Dazzle bot is now a bit more judicious about using Shadow Wave.

Sniper had DoTA2's first televised mega-kill right? Pakjatt @ International 1.

How does a fall version of the Dota 2 map along with some Halloween goodies sound to you?

If you get 4th of july, I want one for the german reunification. With a wall in the middle and both teams have to destroy it so the dire can come to the radiant side where everything is better. Then the game starts.

On a slightly more serious note, I have no recollection how I ended up on these leaked patchnotes.
They sound pretty legit at the start, but some things are pretty out there.
