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.

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr would they really release a patch like that just before TI2?

Either fake or is super-duper-alpha for a post-TI2 patch release.

Reading it now :D

He's underused in dota2 and I think it's safe to assume that the next balance patch will be dota2 centric rather than dota1, I mean it will be AFTER the actual release

Found it =P

http://www.joindota.com/en/news/3132-aui_2000-weve-had-a-couple-of-offers/

Where does this name come from? Does it have any special meaning?

Long story short: one game there was a Priestess of the Moon [known solely as Mirana in Dota 2] on the other team who kept going bottom. So we said to "kill the POTM bottom" and Black^ (now on Mousesports) and Fogged kept saying “POTM bottom” for the rest of the game. We later had to decide on a team name for GosuGamers and sort of just randomly selected that.

If that's real...that would be massive. Holy crap.
Level 3 Marksmanship agility increased from 45 to 60
Poison Nova now affects buildings
Spiked Carapace now lasts for 2.5 seconds (down from 4.5) seconds, but reflects and stuns all sources of damage over that period instead of just the first one
Reaper's Scythe aghanims now deals pure damage
Phantom Lancer agility gain from 2.8 to 3.4

Just some of the things I noticed.

This actually looks legit, The way Icefrog balances is buff everything that isn't used, slightly nerf top picks, nerf top bans

There's been sillier stuff before in beta builds of dota. I remember reading they once tried to remake techies' suicide to utilize the BW " Nuclear lunch detected' sound but couldn't balance it out properly and scraped it

The only way to know for sure is to post this on Playdota.com and wait for icefrog to reply. He likes doing some oneliners in those threads

his laning phase is already absurd, i'm not sure why IceFrog would make it even stronger :p
But I have no problem with that being true, I just find it unlikely

obv. I was just saying that it wasnt really obviously stupid. It actually looks thoughtful, if it is fake then it was a well done forgery.

Boots of speed shareable?

Shackleshot no longer has any effect if it fails to shackle the target? Fuck that.

Jakiro's facing direction now matches his turn rate a little more (this is purely a visual thing)? Thank god Jakiro is so clunky.

Level 3 Marksmanship agility increased from 45 to 60. Holy shit.

Split Shot damage from 45/55/65/76 to 50/60/70/80. Kipsate, medusa!

Lycan base armor reduced by 1. Good nerf no not really.

You can now target yourself with Unstable Concoction. Nice.

Poison Nova now affects buildings [Need feedback :wacko - what are you serious

idk overall doesn't seem that far off base, definitely needs tweaking though

Dunno if it's real or not, but it seems credible. It buffs a lot of underused heroes/items. And nerf a lot of top picks. Except the poison nova but why not.

Actually how often would you use poison Nova for pushing towers? Seems rather useless most of the time, especially that it would probably deal like 25% of damage
