For anyone who didnt already know, DOTA2 has a new update (6.79).  The new update has a hefty changelog which not surprisingly doesnt include a new hero.  For the full changelog check the DOTA2 Developer forum post.


What do you think about the new update?




A few highlights of some heroes (courtesy Reddit):


Bloodseeker:


Broodmother:


Axe:


Slark:


Nightstalker:


Riki:


Phantom Assassin:


Linkens Sphere:

Biggest thing for me is the swapping of small camp and medium camp in jungles and how exp is shared among ALL HEROES in vicinty (for jungle creeps). This allows heroes like bounty and brood to leach exp and make trilaning somewhat ... nerfed.
And the night begins at 4 minutes means nighstalker can come online earlier but at a cost of less farm and levels (2 minutes more can at least give him a lvl 6  ).And NS new ultimate effect makes nights much scarier .
And alchemist... i have no idea how his new health regen will help him ...

I find it not bad really.
Jakiro's character update is what matters to me other than the general changes. Liquid fire as an active attack is cool. Better for tactics

EDIT: Just now saw Bloodseeker O_O What the bloody hell?!

Also Bloodseeker wtf MS, since there isnt a cap anymore o0

The thing about bloodseeker is tps pretty much still counter him :/ but if yu dont have tp and is below 50% health gg wp duwapang putha !

It's a bird... It's a plane... It's Superman...

Nope. Actually, it's Bloodseeker.
