                    Thought this was a speculation article on the likely changes in 6.87... Alas, it is a trip down mid lane.

                    What do you think will change in 6.87? Will we see the pitlord emerge finally? What new items are coming? Who gets the bat hardest? Who will be the next meta first pick hero???

                    Though that would be more interesting... Looking back at how we got here has its benefits as well.

                      Doubt Pitlord will come. The focus should be to get the most heroes into CD for TI, and adding a new hero now is just too late for that. It'll come afterwards I'd assume.

                      I don't even think it'll be a really major patch. With the majors and all I feel like it'd make the most sense to have the biggest patches between TI and the fall major. I suppose that didn't quite happen last year, although I think they kinda wanted to do it, but well... it didn't work out or whatever.

                        Wonder how many people are playing since 2004 or earlier.

                          Veno and ET needs some rework! Theyre too outshined by overpowered heroes, terrible support capabilities, high manacost spells, almost negligible in teamfights, and they need drafts that fits them which is not the case in the recent and previous patches.

                              I think PitLord will come at TI6 like techies did.....

                                    Back in the day, heroes level cap was 10, there were no item recipes, Crystal Maiden was Frost Maiden, Luna looked like Mirana (Tyrande, actually), there was a starcraft Tank into the game (no, it was not HotS, it was DotA), riki was a real ninja and had WD's death ward as ultimate... oh 3.6d dota, how I liked you...

                                        Just nerf OD and buff SF,lesh,lina and other midlaners a little,I'm tired of seeing these od invo dp od invo dp od invo dp every single game

                                          I think 6.49 was the blink dagger change

                                          Keep Awake

                                            Veno is an excellent counter to low hp lineups from mid to late game.

                                              the queen piece was buffed too hard and the bishop is OP bullshit now; nothing but fucking king's pawn opening spammers

                                              QuiltedNipples

                                                6.84 did NOT introduce comback mechanics! It nerfed them and made it easier to snowball with good team play without just farming all game

                                                      If only we got new patches at least every 4th month, the meta wouldn't be as stiff...
                                                      And we have no idea when 6.87 is coming out, which actually hurts a little.

                                                        To point out the mistake of the article:

                                                        6.83 was the one with comeback mechanics being introduced. The era of Ho-Ho Ha-Ha. You think this patch is one of greed? 6.83 meant you picked 2-3 hard carries, and support Zeus and crap was a thing because you had to get as much lategame as possible. Towers didn't die quickly (being super buffed to get rid of the TI4 push strat) and the game would turn around completely if you won a teamfight from behind, so most teamfights were insignificant - all that mattered was that you hit one big one in the lategame by hitting your 50 minute timing or whatever and then BOOM, with all systems online you finally break the enemy base.

                                                        6.84 was the patch of TI5 and it nerfed the gold comeback mechanics of the previous patch, but not the XP (so XP swings are still huge). It also made towers less crazy tough again so that push strats would become more viable.

                                                                              God damn it guys, OD isn't even that bad. I do agree that rescaling his Q to like 1/2/3/4 is fine but otherwise he is somewhat fine. I played with several OD's recently and if the player is inexperienced he/she will suck. Can you just counterpick ffs. Anyway back to the updates. The blink dagger seemed pretty broke but the CD sort of compensated that.

                                                                              Electric Eye

                                                                                Chess had many significant changes over the last thousand years, and even had differing rules until FIDE began the international standardization in 1929. Most significant changes were made before the 1900s, though. eg.

                                                                                - Pawn double move and en-passant
                                                                                - Queen and bishop changing movement
                                                                                - Allowing promotion to pieces not already captured and/or other pieces than queen.

                                                                                And many technical rules related to tournaments; time limits, touching of pieces etc.

                                                                                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_chess#History

                                                                                Vergil

                                                                                  so i guess the heroes who will get murdered in the new patch are OD , INVOKER, Spectre and maybe others will receive small nerfs.... I like playing OD and spectre a lot. but whenever a hero takes the scene by storm they murder it.. same will happen to OD and spec..I am not an Invoker player however..so i don't care what happens to him...... probably Ember Spirit's popularity will go down even more... however would love to see some changes regarding Terrorblade. That hero has been out of the Dota 2 scene for long enough

                                                                                              dota will be just like lol, a cashgrab game nothing else, valve knows they failed with dota, they want to milk money now

                                                                                                      ummm guys.... I have a question about Hurricane Pike of the new patch.
                                                                                                      According to the note I've read it says "both heroes are pushed away from each other, 450 each, and you can attack the target regardless of the distance". Is this statement wrong? I dont know since i havent had time to read the patch notes. But from the sound of it i see that Enchantress can use it on an enemy and Blink or TP to increase the distance and easily kill the target within the remaining seconds.

                                                                                                      This almost gave me goosebumps... I hope I'm wrong. Please comment saying that I am wrong TT_TT lol
