DotA 2: 6.83 patch, The International 5 on the way!

[wezai]

Omg, Finally Templar Assassin! And she looks so freaking cool. Can't wait until she gets added into the main client to test her.

 

[Ignatius]

How can it not be NA, he was on the blog.

 

[Vyke]

No idea where you saw NA at on the blog, I looked for it after you said something about it and saw nothing. Unless it's not on the official Dota 2 blog?

Even Cybrogmatt's Blog told us Templar Assassin would be the next hero.

 

[Ignatius]

Spoiler

enlarge, to the right of disruptors shoulder thing.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

that doesn't look like NA to me..

 

[Deleted member]

It's all hidden in the files, Sveet.

 

[Vyke]

Nyx doesn't have eyes, though. The guy in the Blog art does. Not to mention Cyborgmatt also put up most of the Nyx textures, etc on his blog. That thing doesn't look anything like NA.

Also I just realized, why the heck is Distruptor about to impale himself on a whole bunch of spikes?

Check this out: http://www.cyborgmatt.com/2012/05/dota-2-unreleased-heroes-preview/#nyx-assassin8217s-concept-art

Keep in mind this was just the conceptual art, the final model could be very well what we see on Disruptor's image background. In fact, it does look very similar to its conceptual art.

 

[Mic_128]

Good to see that Ice Tiny's looking like it'll be added.

 

[Mota]

Definitely liking the pink effects to TA's abilities. I guess Valve think they have too much blue, purple and red in the game.

Does it? All I can see looking similar is what might possibly be the horn, but even then, there are two eyes nowhere to be seen in the concept art.

It's not like I'm going to rule him out completely though. It definitely would explain why Disruptor and Axe are attacking spikes.

 

[Turazrok]

That looks exactly like na wtf

 

[Vyke]

Wtf? Are you people some sort of silhouette expert brigade I'm not aware of? I had to squint and get really close to my screen to actually find out that those aren't eyes but the bottom of his helmet, haha.

 

[Turazrok]

Word up Avril?

 

[Sinz]

Word up Avril?

That aint me

 

[Turazrok]

That aint me

AL #1 incest team.

Cap with his sister girlfriend think he better then you

 

[Sinz]

It really is his sister/girlfriend. It's ****ed up.

 

[Turazrok]

Hey man.



Incest #1 AL

 

[SUNG666]

Ok wow I dunno what eagle eyes you have but I finally found it

And am I missing something here? I thought he was called Nerubian Assassin, I don't know where Nyx comes from

 

[Mic_128]

Nerubian though is a Blizzard-created race, so they really can't use it wihtout copyright becoming an issue, hence the change to Nyx.

 

[JaceComix]

What I like about the name changes is that the acronyms are staying the same. Still NA, still OD, etc

Also, Naga Siren is on the bottom right corner of this week's blog post...so...well...honestly who knows what the **** these signs mean after last week's patch.

[Mota]

Very nice Naga!
Gotta let the Chinese have a practice on her

Not a fan of the voice acting, expected a soft singing siren used to lure foolish sailors to their death.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I have finally discovered invoker and his glorious brokenness

 

[Sinz]

I have finally discovered invoker and his glorious brokenness

Low to mid to high he is really good. But Highest he is outclassed by other heroes. (Dark seer, leshrac, lycan, prophet, chen, tide, brood, etc)

Low to mid level games its so easy to win with him its sad.

 

[Mic_128]

I love invoker. His spells are so much fun to steal as Rubick >: )

 

[Cinbad]

QUICK! list the top 5 dota heroes you want to give a hug to!
1.) Venomancer
2.) Dark Seer
3.) Enchantress
4.) Juggernaut
5.) Ursa

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Tornado is such a good support spell and cold snap is really strong early game. Plus having an escape (ghost walk) is really cool too. I think hes my new fav hero

 

[Lovage]

yo is disruptor actually a decent pick/fills a good role?

he is my MANSSSS (but i wanna hear his weaknesses)

 

[Cinbad]

Disruptor is such a fun support. Pubs have no idea how to counter him. I'm sure he has a few mroe weaknesses, but here are the ones i can think of:
Becomes irrelevant towards the late game
Countered hard by blink dagger/forcestaff
Has crazy mana issues

 

[JTB]

[yt]CGn9GM30h9s[/yt]

man this is great

Just glimpse them away?

 

[Ignatius]

Its more an issue that you can get force staffed out of kinetic field, so you dont really have any reliable setup later.

 

[Mic_128]

Again, glympse them back in? He's at least got more options than say, Furion, or other heroes with blinkable CC.

EDIT: And picked up Ice Tiny today, huzzah!

 

[Ignatius]

Kinetic will be over before you can ever glimpse them back in.

 

[Lovage]

yea glimpse is slow as hell, and field doesn't last longer than like 4 seconds iirc.

you can still do good setups with glimpse -> ult

 

[Ignatius]

You can, its just forcestaff hard counters it. Silence doesn't stop item usage.

 

[Mic_128]

Had an instance today of Naga throwing net with Furion teleporting away. He was caught, finished the half a second left of the TP and tele'd out. Intentional or not?

 

[JaceComix]

I think it's only a root/snare, not a stun. So probly intentional.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

When did it change so that furion's tele cd isn't triggered when he is stunned?
