Après l'effervescence de la scène pendant The International 3, retour au calme pour Valve qui continue de sortir des patchs pour Dota 2. Au programme cette semaine, le changement le plus important est sans doute l'ajout en Captain's Mode de quatre nouveaux héros : Elder Titan, Abaddon, Centaur Warrunner et Troll Warlord. A voir comment ils s'intégreront ou non dans la metagame compétitive.
Egalement on a le droit à un ajout bien sympathique pour les spectateurs avec la minimap qui affiche maintenant les runes, ce qui devrait faciliter la lecture du jeu pour tous. On note également que Valve travaille sur la boite de sélection des unités souvent décriée avec un problème de hitbox.
Enfin de nombreuses corrections de bugs sont également de la partie.
Les runes sont maintenant affichées sur la minimap en mode spectateur.
CHANGELOG
GAMEPLAY- Fixed players' current gold being networked to enemy players.
- Fixed Spirit Breaker's charge target being networked to enemy players.
- Picking up an armlet that is toggled on will only grant the buff if you own the armlet.
- Autocast abilities check target type rules consistently. This should prevent Clinkz's searing arrows hitting wards, for example.
- Added Elder Titan, Abaddon, Centaur and Troll Warlord to Captain's Mode.
- Fixed Neutral Thunderhide not using Slam when 3 enemies are nearby.
- Fixed Neutral Thunderhide's Slam not slowing attack speed.
- Ancient Apparition: Frostbite debuff will prevent health gain from levelling up, extra strength or extra max hp.
- Slark: Fixed BKB not removing Pounce's Leash.
- Treant Protector: Fixed Overgrowth affecting couriers.
- Troll Warlord: Fixed Illusions benefiting from Fervor.
- Troll Warlord: Fixed ranged form sometimes being able to bash.
- Weaver's geminate ability no longer activates when attacking wards.
- Weaver's Time Lapse and Disruptor's Glimpse now can rewind things back to before Time Lapse or Glimpse were first skilled.
UI
- Runes now draw in the minimap for spectators.
- Increased the penalty for not readying up from 45 seconds to 2 minutes.
- Spectator stats dropdown is unlocked while listening to broadcasters.
- Added a preference and cvar "dota_spectator_use_broadcaster_stats_panel" to allow spectators to have full control over the stats panels.
- Private (friend/guild) lobbies now display their game name so that those browsing lobbies can get more info on what the lobby is for.

- Fixed bugs that were allowing edge panning to be enabled during drag-select.
- Reduced CPU usage of drag-select.
