There is a separate client called DotA 2 test where you can test all of the updates before they are released onto the main client, mine showed up in my library when i downloaded dota, so if it isn't there I dunno how to get it.


Nice, thanks. Hopefully i can have a go on it later. Want to test out some item combinations... And hopefully Shadow Demon is strong now, i really want to play that guy!

EDIT: double post removed.

OK, i also have a question about Alchemist. It states he can also consume the Aghs himself, i assume this would only give him the stats, or am i missing something?

On a side note, i am going to pressure my fried (whom i normally support) to play alch and get me a 15 minute Aghs on Disruptor.

Yes, as far as I know it only gives him stats. Well, you get some nice stats and raw HP and no inventory slot is used. I can see n00bs crying about accidentally consuming that or the perma 60 attack speed buff... thingy.

Weaver is crazy op as a utility hero. He is a legit offlaner with aghs now. He can turn into carry late like lina, also his support pickup potential is really good even as a 3.

I feel like all melee heroes won't get kited so easily now, they got so much ways to close the gap/disable the ranged heroes, I predict Huskar Ursa and Lifestealer comeback.

Lifestealer offlane with aghs to save carry and turn into carry late? I feel like it's a lategame choice:D k that sounds bad but yknow

Edit: I also feel like we will see normally cores played as a support. The new items feels this way, at least.

Yeah, i see people eating the attack speed thing by doubleclicking accidentally! I'll laugh. That's such a good idea though, get it after your farming item and them consume later.

Something we are forgetting here. Spare a moment for our poor Mods who are going to have to overhaul the entire bloody library! I do not pity you.

Doesn't LoL have a smaller, simpler, item pool? So if anything expanding ours make's it further from it... ...

I'm just really confused by this patch.

On the one hand it supports aggressive snowballing into massive undefendable advantage due to the changes to creep gold, and other gold, and making towers slightly easier to take. And a lot of change ups to make very much mid-game items stronger.

But on the other hand you've got a lot of really strong buffs to late game split-pushers, and a lot of incentive to have reaaaaally greedy supports. (What with so many good utility Ag's on none utility heroes).

And on the same vein, you've got an item that seems to suggest that Magical damage dealers are suddenly an pretty good high farm priority with the lifesteal and cooldown reduction (Like Leshrac and Zeus seem awesome with those). But in the same vein you have a lot more magic resistance options than before. (Even just the casual Pipe buff is pretty good).

It's just so weird.

I look forward to a month from now, when a lot of stuff has settled in a bit more.

Since you just can't have enough Chaos Breaker.

Not really simple if you think about all the build paths and synergies between items.
