IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

ember spirit (0% as far as I know)
Soul keeper (0% as far as I know)
Pit lord (10% We have concept art)
Arc warden (0%)
Winter Wyvern (0%)
Techies (5% maybe)

So, if we start at the same time as last year (late august), valve will have 2 months to realease all the heroes.
Pretty sure we will still have 4-5 heroes unrealeased at TI3.


I doubt we will have a a full pool at TI3.

At least we won't have all of the heroes in CM, as I imagine there will still be a handful of (slark) bugs to work out on the newer heroes.

I remember seeing him as an offlaner. Not sure about mid or not but he can easily go mid. He brings a ton fuck of AoE to the teamfights and like wairai said he can stop pushes fairly easy. But then again, we are talking about Chinese doto here and again, we still have to see how he is in DotA2.

As far as the heroes being released... I highly doubt you will get all the remaining heroes before 2014.

Based on their current progress, I don't think they'll have them all reintroduced into Dota 2 before TI3. They will probably work on the more 'metagame relevant' ones, such as Elder Titan and Pit Lord (probably 1 or 2 others? I dunno) and leave heroes like Techies till last, as sad as I am about that.

Abaddon is 90% likely to be the hero released after ET (or maybe before ET).

After that...I'm not sure who else has made progress tbh.

And his third skill can removes basic armor and magic resistances making it a good pick for tanky heroes.

His spirit also got the third skills. Its really a pain to lane against him.

Gaben must have died 20 times to techies in his first dota match or something

Not that I think the hero is particularly well designed or anything, but I really want techies in Dota 2. Too much fun.

Pit Lord? Which hero is that? Don't you mean Abyssal Underlord?

There is no way TC will be picked in CM. Have you seen his face? Too damn ugly for tv.

Somebody go and use this in pub before they patch it: If somebody has a sentry ward and is given more sentries, he could sell those sentries for gold. Potentially gold share bug that help you getting 3 mins midas

What the fuck? TC and now Azgalor? Is Valve trolling or just fucking with us?

TC is mid and offlaner. basically he's a hero that weakens tanks and sets up initiation with spirit + echo stomp, teamfights with his ultimate, which has very big aoe and is also excellent counter initiation

You can also pool your mid another bottle or two and buy a couple extra couriers so he can have a constant stream of regen through a bottle crow "assembly line". He will definatelly win mid with that.

He's also very good for anti-push because Echo Stomp lets you stall a creep wave for 5 seconds at zero risk.

Man i want abba before TC. TC is another boring 10000 range stunner AoE shit, Abba remove stuns, can deny himself and make for the best rambo experiences.
