Dota 2 test got an update for me

I wanted Magnus so bad. Ah well, maybe him [U]and[/U] Brad next week then.

-snip-

[QUOTE=Banned?;37809345]That's exactly what you're suppose to do with it.[/QUOTE] Yeah I thought so, but I was asking if there were more things you could do.

Wait a second, .75 was supposed to come within these few weeks... Yep, I'm betting on 6.75 coming during this week, along with it's Dota2 port (AND heroes.)

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;37809643]This week we're shipping an embarrassing lack of content. We're saving it all for next week. [URL]http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=56343[/URL] oh well :([/QUOTE] KOTL got nerfed Can't tell if im happy or upset. Even tho his Q is easy to dodge, I feel like the range on it is too far long. There's so many spots he can hide in to fuck you up with his Q, now it wont be as easy. I used to buy a quelling blade on KOTL and cut my way to a good spot and just charge from there.

Pudge got some pretty sweet new icons in this test update. [img]http://i.imgur.com/0F792.png[/img]

Nice. Now the icons actually look like something instead of some random thing that no one knows what the fuck it is.

ursa+wisp picked in mouz vs m5 it owned

I hope Beastmaster, Sniper, and Necrolyte get remade icons soon, imo they're worse than Pudge's or Leshrac's.

[QUOTE=Gorm;37811031][img]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/6/64/Take_Aim_icon.png[/img][/QUOTE] Paint.net is amazing, don't dis. Also obligatory "surprise techies!"

[QUOTE=butters757;37810972]I hope Beastmaster, Sniper, and Necrolyte get remade icons soon, imo they're worse than Pudge's or Leshrac's.[/QUOTE] At least they are actually understandable. Edict's icon was just a stove's rampaging flame, lesh's ultimate was a red explosion thing, and Pudge's ulti was the smashed remnants of a heart or something.

[QUOTE=Gorm;37811031][img]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/6/64/Take_Aim_icon.png[/img][/QUOTE] I actually rather like snipers, I always though his where based on WoW hotkeys. They remind me of them at least.

[QUOTE=Devozade;37811726]Rot looks like a fish face, enjoy.[/QUOTE] i will never unsee

[QUOTE=Devozade;37811726]Rot looks like a fish face, enjoy.[/QUOTE]Glad I'm not the only one who saw it.

Anyone else having lots of trouble with the DOTA2 Network?

Magnus lore was dug up. "The master-smiths of Mt. Joerlak agree on only a single point: that the horn of a magnoceros is more precious than any alloy. And of all such horns, the largest and sharpest belongs to the beast they call Magnus. For half a generation, Magnus took easy sport goring hunters come to claim the treasures of his kin. Each time he would return to his cave with hooves and horns stained red, until his Matriarch urged him and all their kin to seek refuge to the north beyond the shadow of the mountain. But Magnus scoffed, having never failed to defend his people. The magnoceri would stay, he decided, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance... nor does it ever change its mind. But when Mt. Joerlak erupted without warning, and half his kin perished in the fire and ash, Magnus changed his mind after all. The survivors pushed north, until they reached a blockade watched over by a hundred hunters armed with bow and steel. Magnus expected no less. He led his fiercest brothers and sisters in a charge against their enemies, and fought with a ferocity matched only by the fire-spewing mountain at his back. Meanwhile the magnoceros elders, mothers, and calves vanished into the drifts. The master-smiths are divided about what happened next. Some say Magnus reunited with his kin, while others claim he suffered mortal injuries and expired alongside the body of his Matriarch. Neither theory is correct. Magnus did vow to rejoin his kin...but only after seeking out those responsible for the eruption of Mt. Joerlak and watching them die upon his horn, for a magnoceros does not believe in chance."

[QUOTE=Shibbey;37811488]Why would you remake Necrolyte's? He's got the best one in the game: [img]http://niggaupload.com/images/pLBJc.png[/img] awww yeah gurl[/QUOTE] How did I not notice that
