No new hero, but still a really noteworthy patch. Basically the big things - - Added Team Matchmaking! Teams have a public rating based on their performance against other Teams. - Added Language setting for Matchmaking! The large bug fixes - Fixed direct unit target spells having 24 less effective range. - Fixed Day/Night cycle duration as well as initial state being a bit off. - Fixed some ability Backswing timing issues (Kunkka, Clockwerk, Timbersaw, Meepo, Pudge, Spiritbreaker, Sand King, Riki, Nyx, Lion, Pugna, Shadow Demon, Batrider).
Also some anti-griefing - Dropped, non-sharable items can no longer be destroyed by teammates.

Typically these patches come out about 24 hours later, they're being tested on the test server to find critical bugs like chen being able to control roshan. |

| If that courier fix is what I think it is then this is huge. I cannot believe it has taken so long to fix such a huge and common bug. |

Do you mean the bottle crow bug? (Bottle sometimes not refilling in fountain) |

Keeper of the Light: Fixed Recall going off if Keeper died during the delay.
This would've saved me from one particularly embarassing incident a few weeks ago. :[Last edit: 2013-02-07 08:56:31 |

No, I mean the courier not responding to deliver commands if it's interrupted while delivering. This happens several times every single game and sometimes you die because that bloody courier refused to deliver your critical item and you were to busy to notice.Last edit: 2013-02-07 08:58:53 |

Pretty decent patch. Some nice fixes and the addition of the Language option for Matchmaking is intriguing, though I'm not certain whether or not it'll have the desired effect.
Anyway, cool stuff Valve, I like it! |

Why does everyone think he's first ban/pick?
He's still pretty much the same silencer as before. Last word is now a nuke rather than an aura, and now only silences one person. Big deal. There are strengths about him, but compare him to what is in now.
Nyx eats him. Literally. A KotL beats him outright without trying. Lifestealer will make his life awful. Most supports can return any aggression he gives and trade pretty well with him. He has no chance in mid vs most heroes that are popular now (other than TA). He still has no slow, no stun, and no escape. He's pretty much going to die to any gank, and every lost engagement pre 6, and that's a problem because his best choice for laning is in a tri vs tri situation.
The only way I see him doing well is if you have a carry with a stun, and then put him with a kotl. But even then he's just a bit of extra help to win the lane, not doing it outright.
So no, he's not going to be first ban/pick, he's going to be incredibly fringe and seen maybe slightly more than never.

it is a good step, while non-english will probably still que for english it may reduce the amount of games where such a thing happens.
Silencer might make a large impact actually I feel as a support. Global Silence is simply an amazing teamfight ability and he will still do a substantial amount of damage if lots of kills happen.
Also Silencer makes non BKB Pucks cry. |
