Because d2l admins suddenly decided that you CANNOT tolerate this one particular bug. And basically broke the game by banning any hero that has an illusion spell or a manta to have a quelling blade in his inventory.

It's honestly pretty silly because at most damage values it has very little impact on the game.

With regard to PL, the question is almost never HOW FAST your illusions do a jungle camp, but whether an illusion can do the jungle camp by itself--in which case the actual damage difference from this bug doesn't change that much outside of a few edge cases.

Added Least Played mode to matchmaking! In this mode players can only choose from a list of their least played heroes. This mode is great for learning new heroes since everyone will be on equal footing.

GAMEPLAY
- Faceless Void: Fixed Backtrack working on HP Removal.
- Medusa: Mystic Snake now returns to restore you when it is blocked by Linken's Sphere.
- Meepo: Fixed an exploit with boot selection
- Riki: Fixed an issue with Permanent Invisibility on respawning.
- Slark: Fixed Impale based stuns not getting removed by Dark Pact.
- Issuing the haste command to the courier with the new UI no longer interrupts channeling spells on the primary hero.
- Fixed an exploit allowing items to be combined from multiple owners.
- Fixed Thunderclap being purgable.
- Fixed Malefice being purgable.
- Fixed Poison Touch being purgable.
- Fixed Brewmaster's Dispel not dealing damage to illusions.
- Fixed illusion damage interaction with other things that modify outgoing damage percentage (like Quelling Blade).
- Fixed being unable to target yourself with Force Staff if you are magic immune.

UI
- Fixed an exploit that let you bring up the panel to repick after the game started
- The Balanced Shuffle button now shows up for all non-league private lobbies.
- Fixed Nightstalker's darkness indicator persisting across games.
- Abandoned games are marked in the match history

BOTS
- Added Drow bot.
- Added Warlock bot (and Warlock Golem bot).
- Added support for bots using unique attack modifiers to harass while laning.
- Fixed bug that was causing bots to farm for buyback much earlier than they should.
- Fixed bug that was causing some bots to get stuck when trying to use a Tango.
- Bots that are lanemates of a carry will no longer jungle during the laning phase.
- If a hero is already jungling during the laning phase, additional bots will not jungle.

WORKSHOP
- Added Import Courier and Import Ward.
- Added support for animations and attachment points.
- Added Quicksave & Quickload import buttons to make it easy to redo a previous import.
- Added Centaur Warrunner, Batrider, Mirana, Keeper of the Light, Shadow Demon, and Slark to the Hero list (and http://www.dota2.com/workshop/requirements).
- Preview now allows you to add multiple cosmetic items onto the preview Hero.
- Preview now has a Portrait camera view.
- Preview now allows you to select a skin on models with multiple skins.
- Preview now visualizes attachment points on models that require attachments to be valid.
- Improved validation of polygon and bone count of submitted models.

- Meepo: Fixed an exploit with boot selection

I don't think the issue so much is clearly jungle camps, but has more to do with how strong the split push is. Is it game breaking? Apparently admins decided it is.

I would hardly call it more game breaking than Rubick getting permanent strenght from stealing Morph. That has been ingame forever and has had a much bigger effect on competitive matches. It's on the bugs list and yet I've never seen anyone complain about it.

Even the Lothar's bug was put to use with Kunkka in a few games and noone complained. Everyone knew TA had some bugs that made her stronger but she wasn't banned. Dota has a history of adapting to bugs instead doing bans and such, that's what I don't like about the decision.

It's basically SC2's division/league system. Which, IMO is pretty awful.

I want to know what my list looks like, because I random just about every game I play.
