Dota 6.60 Beta 46 Map - Dota-Allstars 6.60 Beta 46

dota allstars 6.60 beta 46 Dota 6.60 Beta 46 Map Download - Dota-Allstars 6.60 Beta 46 Map (before is Dota 6.60 Beta 45, just added Beta 46). The previous Dota 6.60 Beta post comment is already reach more than 300 comment and become harder to read. So, i decided created this fresh new post so it would be easier to us to discuss the new beta map, Dota 6.60 beta 46 :)

In this Beta map, Tauren Chieftain already have complete skill set, there's massive changes on items and even more new items (WTF!). Check the post for pictures and changes.

SPOILER ALERT!


In this picture, Tauren Chieftain already has complete skill set and he is wearing new items ^^






Now Aghanim is viable for many heroes, not only intelligence heroes

For new heroes pictures and skills, you can check Batrider post and Tauren Chieftain post. You can also discuss both heroes on their respective post :)

Dota 6.60 Beta 45 Changes Summary (relatively to Dota 6.60 Beta 21)

Below is a compilation from redrach analysis about the changes and other feedback:

Heroes Changes

Huskar has been hugely buffed now with indefinitely stacking Burning Spears, and Aghanim's that increases damage done to enemy by his ultimate (65% of their HP) and a reduced cooldown (15 -> 8!!) Looks like Aghanim's is *the* item of choice on him now.

Razor has been remade to be less of a point-and-click hero. Chain lightning has been replaced by 'Plasma Field' - a huge AoE nuke that hits twice if you micro, and his ultimate is now an active that attacks one unit at random. I'm unsure what 'Static Link' does, but presumably his ultimate has been coded to attack the linked enemy in particular.
All-in-all he seems harder to play, but I'm unsure if he's stronger than his 6.59d counterpart. (He's definitely weaker than his imba 6.60 beta 21 version)

Medusa now has an AoE Purge for her ultimate ('Stony Gaze' - fits her theme better)! But it only works on enemies that attack her (or are facing her? Unsure.) Which means its useless while chasing. Bit of a nerf there. Chain Lightning has been replaced by 'Mystic Snake' which just seems to be a slower version of Chain Lightning. There must be more to it, but I can't tell.

Sniper's changes really disappoint me. Scattershot has been replaced by 'Shrapnel' - a 30% AoE slow that does 40 dps over 10 seconds at level 4. Unfortunately such a skill would only slightly boost Sniper's survivability, and the slow only affects units in the AoE to boot. Which means he's still gank fodder.
Also now he can no longer one-hit creep waves, making him more of a sucky farmer.
Aghanim's now reduces his ultimate's casting time and increases range.

Items Changes

- Pipe of Khandahar (1500g), item that allows you to activate 'Ghost Form', an ability that makes you invulnerable to attacks, makes you unable to attack, but lets you cast spells. Unsure if you take more damage from spells in Ghost Form, or if you're even targetable. Would make it a decrepify clone, except without the MS reduction.
- Talisman of Evasion (1800g), gives you 25% evasion.
- Monkey King Bar now has 'True Strike', a passive that ensures your attacks always hit (bypasses evasion). Which means it counters the above item.
(The two changes above severely hurt Mortred. Now any agility hero can cheaply (relative to Butterfly) obtain evasion, and also counter Mortred's evasion.)
- Quelling Blade (300g), cheap new item that gives +40% damage (20% for ranged) vs. non-hero units. Clearly an item meant to help melee heroes farm. Good starting item for Void, IMO.
- The Leveller, upgrade for Quelling Blade. Gives a lot of +stats (lots of +agi), plus 40% damage to non-hero units and 60% damage to buildings (20% and 30% for ranged). This relatively cheap item should help a lot of melee agility heroes contribute more to their team in pushes, as well as help them farm better. Prediction: Battlefury + Leveller will be the new in-thing for pubbers to get.
- Poor Man's Shield, upgrade for Stout Shield that gives 100% chance to reduce hero damage by 25. Seems like a completely useless item to me, esp. now that Vanguard has a 70% chance to block 40 damage from all sources (up from 65%), even though it's quite a bit cheaper than Vanguard.
- Manta Style is now an upgrade for Yasha (wtf). It has Illussion (actives), no longer give Feedback orb, and only gives +stats and bonus move and attack speed (wtf). Needless to say, this is a bizarre change.
- Diffusal Blade is now upgradable like Dagon! (Level 1 - +22 agi, +6 int, burns 20 mana, Level 2 - +36 agi, +10 int, burns 36 mana) Upgrading the recipe refills Purge charges (8). Now it's a strong item on its own.
- Sange and Yasha no longer needs a recipe, so it's 500g cheaper overall.
- Reduced Hammer cost by 10
- Rapier back to +250 damage
- Reduced Radiance Recipe cost
- Vanguard now gives 70% block

Maelstrom's recipe and stats have changed:
Mithril Hammer (1600g) + Gloves of Haste (500g) + Recipe (900g) = Maelstrom (3000g)
Grants +24 damage, +15 attack speed, and a 20% ctc 150 damage Chain Lightning.

Now the items reflect the theme (Mithril Hammer -> Hammer icon of Maelstrom) as well as synergize with the proc (more attack speed = more Chain Lightning procs)

Butterfly recipe changed:
Eaglehorn (3300g) + Quarterstaff (900g) + Talisman of Evasion (1800g) [No Recipe]

Other Changes
New System of messages when one takes a rune.
Completely revamped LR
Courier now has new skill , Return Home
Emphasis to farming , many tool-tips now have " Damage to non-hero units "
Undying's Tombstone AoE dropped a lot (for instance at 4 its 1200->1000).

  9. Haha, many of these Aghanim upgrades are plain nuts.
    Vengeful Spirit - ultimate cd reduced from 45 to 8!!
    Huskar - ultimate cd reduced from 15 to 8, damage done to enemy hero increased to 65% from 50%!!
    Night Stalker - gives him unobstructed vision (through trees, over cliffs) during night. This may sound trivial, but you need to play him to see how big a buff it is. Remember, NS has the largest vision range of all heroes at night.
    Spiritbreaker - cd reduced from 75s to 20s!!! (wtf he's almost competitive-worthy now)
    Clockwerk - cd reduced from 40s to 15s, and he can target allies!
    Invoker - cd reduced from 5s to 2s (wtf) and mana cost removed (110 -> 0)!!! If you're a pro at rapidly invoking spells, this is a great buff for you.
    Chaos Knight - duration increased to 30s from 20s, and cooldown halved (180 -> 90)!! Potentially very deadly with the new Diffusal Blade buffs.
    Panda - Buffs so many things. Duration, Strength, and cd.
    Pudge - Now deals damage equal and leeches HP equal to a multiple of his STR (1x/2x/3x) per second for 3 seconds! A level 25 Pudge with Aghanims and no other item or flesh str has 130 strength. So that's 390 DPS nuke/heal for 3 seconds. Pretty sweet. (Now imagine an uberfat Pudge with Hearts and dozens of hero kills >:D)

    Some other upgrades are kinda meh.
    Windrunner - damage reduction reduced from 40% to 25%. Considering her ultimate is the worst skill she has, I'm not exactly excited to see this.
    Sniper - Ultimate gains +1000 range and casting time reduced to 1s(?) Great, now he can KS even better. And his ability to actually survive a fight is unchanged.
    Faceless Void - Duration of Chronosphere increased from 5s to 6s. Not much of a change for pubs, but I guess it could be useful in higher level games where the outcome of a match depends on properly getting off AoE spells.
    Atropos - Damage done increased to 270 dps from 215 dps. Not worth the gold cost, IMO.
    Sand King - slight decrease in cd (100 -> 80) and +1 pulse (10 -> 11)

  13. Can't seem to form Agha in this version. I buy all the component but the item doesn't form. Wierd.I think you're making the same mistake I did. When it says two of (Ogre Axe, Staff of Wizardry, Blades of Alacrity), it means two different ones. Two Blades of Alacrity won't do, it has to be a Blade of Alacrity + Ogre Axe/Staff of Wizardry. Or a Ogre Axe + Staff of Wizardry.

    (Ofc, which pair of items you choose doesn't matter in the end, but it helps to buy ingredients that will help your hero while you're waiting to complete the scepter: Like Ogre Axe + Staff of Wizardry on Night Stalker - gives HP, Damage, and mana to cast spells)

  15. Quelling Blade, works 40% for melee and 20% for ranged attackers. Been trying it out with Medusa to see if it works with split shot. That's 95% damage at level 4 for creeps if it does. Also has anyone tested if it stacks?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow, without a doubt Quelling Blade is a must have item for heroes who needs farm (Troll, Void) ^^

    Those new items will changes a lot of strategy guide for sure lol ;p

  19. Check out the Chicken Courier! It has 2 new skills, one makes it give the hero its items and the other skill tells it to head back to base :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. why the hate on the new shield?


    Its incredibly cheap and really helps the agility carries tank early game.

    I mean, the point of the patch seems pretty obvious if you look at the competitive scene: nobody picks carries anymore. The goal here is to make carries fit into the new metagame, correct?

    So, give them an item that can help them farm (cheap hand of midas pretty much) and give them an item that can help them tank.

    And best of all, since most carries are forced to get wraith bands/slippers to increase their attack early game damage and help them farm, they are now able to conserve the gold even more.

    + No more stupid fucks are going to do things like get Vanguard on every agility hero in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  21. this beta 45 obviously favors agi-type heroes..most items are meant for them!! i dont say i dont like agi-type but i can say im not fond of them, they are so thin..icefrog should have considered balancing the item coz this map really showed big revamped on agi-type heroes!! agi-type are great harassers early-late game compared to the str-types!! icefrog should have given importance on the fact that str. types are no match early game, when mid comes str owned agi..BUT WHEN LATE GAME COMES, AGI DOMINATES STR!! my basis was, most agi are DPSers and item dependent...most gamers on GG n BNET uses agi-type heroes, and now beta 45 is out, i think more gamers will still choose agi-type..why bother to use a str type only get harrassed..the fun of choosing diff types of heroes is gone!!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Although this benefits competetive/high skilled games it drastically changes stuff for mediocre and below games.
    Those games usually always last until late game and therefore you will probably see more crappy troll/sniper/etc pickers.

    Concerning Medusa Chain Lightning: It gives you back some mana (it jumps back to you at the end). I don't know how the amount is defined but you definitely get back mana.

    Casted it on a single creep: Got back something like 10 mana
    Casted it on a whole creep wave: Got back something like 60-70 mana

    SniperI don't think he's worse than before. Finally it is worth to actually level scattershot instead of just skipping it. A 30% slow in a big aoe is nice for team battles although he's still crap overall.

  27. * CM: now has Crystal Nova instead of Frost Nova, does same damage to all units in the AoE.
    Brillance nerfed.

    * Dirge: actually Tomb AoE always was 1000 even in 6.59d, it was just a tooltip error.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I just totally pissed of right now, Most of the heroes got buffs but, what about my Techies? Couldn't you at least give his Remote Mines 40 more damage with Aghanim's Scepter or burn the ground they detonate on?

  30. what are the new brilliance aura numbers?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Quelling Blade indeed stacks multiplicatively with itself, as well as with Leveller.
    To give you some idea of exactly how broken this is, let's look at the numbers:
    With 1 Quelling Blade, you do 40% more damage to non-hero units, or 1.4 times your normal damage.
    With 2 of them, you do 1.4*1.4 = 1.96x
    With 4 of them, you do 1.4^4 ~= 3.8x
    With 6, you do 1.4^6 = 7.5x

    (A level 1 Sven with 6 QBs can kill a melee creep in two hits, and a ranged creep in one. Also, the damage boost is carried over to his cleave.)

    Now add to the above calculations the fact that Quelling Blade costs only 300g, and it is by far the best item any melee hero can get, even more so than boots.
    This is clearly ridiculous, I hope they fix it.
    ----------------
    @Will:
    Why would agility heroes invest in an item that only reduces physical damage, and that too only from heroes, early game? We all know that the biggest problem early game for late-game heroes is Nukes. Bracers are better for the price. And Vanguard is better overall with 70% chance to block 40 damage from all sources, not just heroes.
    By the way, someone should check if Poor Man's Shields stack. Then they'll be slightly better, but still mostly useless vs. nukers.
    ----------------
    @Anonymous:
    I'm not saying that Sniper is worse, but I don't think the changes are going in the right direction. What he needs is a full remake, and badly, not just one spell replacement. (Check the suggestions forum for some good examples)
    Scattershot has been both buffed (30% slow) and nerfed (can't instantly kill creep waves). And the buff isn't strong enough - the slow lasts only in the AoE.
    Assassinate has been buffed with Aghanims, but that just promotes a poorer playstyle - staying far from battles and only using the ultimate to finish off low HP heroes. Even worse, it'll make KSing in pubs much easier. I expect lots of flames in the forums.
    ----------------
    @Anonymous:
    Yes, towers now regenerate 20 HP/s until they return to the HP they were before you attacked when you attack them without creeps nearby. Much harder now to backdoor towers. Wow. Nice find.
    ----------------
    @Will:
    CM's Brilliance Aura nerfed from 0.75/1.5/2.25/3 to 0.75/1.25/1.75/2.25

    Frost Nova replaced by Crystal Nova. Now targets an AoE instead of a target, does 80/140/200/260 damage to all targets in the AoE.
    In comparison, Frost Nova used to do 50/100/125/175 damage to a target, as well as 75/100/125/125 damage to an AoE.
    CD increased to 15s from 11s.
    As you can see, now it does slightly less damage to the main target, but more damage overall = Now you can farm better with it.

    Combined with the Force Staff item and the Pipe of Kandahar Item (Casting Ghost Form before your ultimate allows you to use your ultimate without being attacked), I think she's much better in this version.
    Better than her only-good-as-a-global-mana-fountain, better-just-sit-in-the-base-late-game version for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cool things to do with Force Staff:
    1) When you're being chased, cast it on yourself while facing away from the enemy.
    2) When you're being chased, turn around and cast it on the enemy. He'll zip past you and you can run away while he's confused. (For best results, cast near fog)
    3) When a teammate is chasing an enemy, cast it on your teammate so he can catch up.
    4) Use it to stop channeling abilities
    5) Bloodseeker can use it to force Ruptured enemies to move - huge buff!
    6) Techies can use it to force enemies into his mines!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hmmm AGI's really get a buff, but you underestimate, that tanks still can do lots of return damage with blademail for example.
    Still hard to believe you ignore evasion with MKB

  34. - Krobelus' passive does not give ms anymore
    - Death Pulse Necrolyte has another animation (pretty nice)
    - Basher needs Belt of Giant Strentgh now, but recipe cost is reduced
    - Cuirass recipe changed - 2000->1500
    - Mordiggian recipe changed - 700->900
    (i'm not sure, because i think it was 900 in 6.59, gotta check)
    - Backstab damage from Lothar

    ReplyDelete
  35. @redrach

    i disagree completely. pick a melee hero versus any ranged and watch where most of the damage will be coming from.....long ranged attacks. these two items allow you to now survive and farm quicker at close range.

    it makes harassing a lot harder. I mean...this much damage early game is something like a 25-35% damage reduction based on the hero.

    ReplyDelete
  36. - Recipe Skadi cost changed - 1250->740
    - Changes of BM, Troll, Lina, Razor and Viper (check urself, too much writing :D)
    - MKB now has passive (you never miss)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Some minor price changes here and there:
    Headdress of Rejuvenation Recipe: 225 -> 200
    Ring of Regeneration: 375 -> 350
    Which means Mekansm is now 50 gold cheaper overall.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Lina's ult with scepter provides 200 bonus damage instead of the old 300
    Venomancer's ult with scepter provides 11 bonus damage/second(total of 132 dmg bonus, laughable), instead of the old 27 dmg/sec
    There are probably more...
    So he tries to make scepter more usefull, but nerfs the effect to near uselessnesss at the same time? What's the friggin' point then? That's plain stupid.
    Just as before a much cheaper dagon 1 will heavily outperform the scepter bonus except on ults where the main effect is not damage.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Indeed. Almost all the damage boost upgrades are completely not worth it.
    The more creative solutions are better, IMO. (Like 0 cd Life Drain for Pugna, or unobstructed vision at night for NS)

  41. Razor's eye of the storm is not random, it attacks the weakest unit in range (weak as in HP, the unit with less HP)

    Regen on raxes seems to be gone, or perhaps bug with new anti-backdoor system.

    What is LR?

    ReplyDelete
  42. LR = Lightning Revenant = Razor

    Cranium Basher Recipe has changed, now it needs Belt Of Giant Strenght instead of Gauntlets

  51. Syllabear

    Rabid - it's now an instant cast no target spell. It increases Syllabear's and the Spirit Bear's AS/MS at the same time.

    True Form - No longer has the One skill. Instead has 3 levels of Battle Cry increasing the damage and armor of Syllabear and the Spirit Bear.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Wtf? They removed One?
    But that was such a great end-game skill!
    (One converts almost all the damage done to the shared units to magical damage and shares it equally between them. With the magic resistance gained from Hood of Defiance, One can increase the tankiness of Syllabear by an enormous amount.)

    ReplyDelete
  53. @ redrach
    Dont wanna argue but 'One' fixes syllarbear reduction to around 25% and 36% with hood all game, not that great when he's an agi hero. And to late game, the bear just causes you more damage taken sharing with him.
    Not simply a skill change here but core items change and I think it would be better

    ReplyDelete
  54. WTF THIS IS SO FUKN BS

    ReplyDelete
  55. Congratulations assholes. If this is really a true beta you have just moved the release date at least a month further into the future or, at the very worst, have caused the end of dota. Ice is never going to release something that people have already seen so if this is indeed a true beta, then everything you see here will be changed before the release which will take even more time. Hope you enjoy your waiting time.

    We already spoke with you when you leaked last time and I strongly suggest that you delete the download this instant.

    Snippet of interview with IceFrog:
    Q: What do you think of the beta leak of dota? I heard you didn't want the beta version or changelog going public before you released official map. (by SGamer.com)

    A: That is very true. There are many reasons why I do not like leaks, but one of the main reasons is a personal one. When I work on the map I add many things that are not yet ready. One big satisfaction I get from developing the game and spending so much time on it is to be able to release a new version when it is ready as a nice package. When the map leaks, it takes a lot of that satisfcation away. In a very small way, it is similiar to when you do a drawing, you don't want people peeking before you are ready to show it. It is also harder to experiment with some ideas when players are going to jump on it before its fully fleshed out.

  64. No virus detected, playing the map.
    Can't see any changes yet.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Quelling Blade now costs 200g (down from 300g). Still stacks as before.
    I guess IceFrog intends it to be this way? Looks like now every melee farming hero will carry an inventory full of these things until they've farmed their end-game gear.
    Curious.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Can you add the terrain that you used in your screenshots. Are you going to add some slots for the NPC bec. its full now for the new items, or you will add more "NPC SELLER"

    ReplyDelete
  67. oh yeah check to see if they added the ability to change the terrains as you see fit. dunno what the code would be.

    ReplyDelete
  68. hey Will. I found the code. type in -terrain (terrain name) in the chat box. I typed in -terrain snow, and then it changed to snow terrain instantly. Try it!

    * don't know if there are other terrains available. to revert back to the old terrain, type in -terrain only. :]

    ReplyDelete
  69. * follow-up

    - The Butterfly lost its recipe and was replaced by the Talisman of Evasion as a requirement. Or everybody here knows?

    - New game command: -bonus ; dunno what it does. :]

    - The 6.60 beta 46 that was posted above by noob_bamet_TT is authentic.

    * I noticed the map size gone from 3.44MB (beta 45) to 3.6MB (beta 46). My kaspersky didn't detect any virus. I TRUST MY KASPERSKY. XD

  75. Sup losers.

    Only COMODO gives a slight protection against the vira (viruses) that can be executed via WC3 custom maps. Anyone who actually opens this map is an utter retard and can wave bye bye to every single password you ever had - if you are lucky that is. Chances are that your computer will just fuck up and be unuseable within a week while you, unknowingly, send out millions of spam mails. Have fun with your cardboard PC.

    ReplyDelete
  76. @Will: nope. not yet.

    Considering it is one version away from beta 45, we can't expect that many changes (unlike beta 21 to 45.) The only change I saw was the price of the quillers blade (from 300 to 200) *IMO an imba tool for last hitting*.

    I confirmed that they already added -terrain command in beta 45.

    ReplyDelete
  77. pft try quelling blade on Nevermore. Its fucking absurd.

    ReplyDelete
  78. can some 1 confirm me this ,
    -Added Rune Sounds.. I take this illusion rune , and I find some bizzare sound

  81. fuck to all the leakers!!!! im sorry for my words, but, it really made me furious!!! WHY?!! if its true icefrog dont like leakers, why did they sell it to some fucking websites jaz to get a peek and download it in that site? or icefrog had a "go signal" on them so that he'll get a commission!!!! fuck!! its annoying for gamers like us, leaking beta versions and then change it again the next time another beta version is fucking out!!! FUCK!!!! im sorry alief but pls let this comment read it for those gamers who love DotA!!!

    ReplyDelete
  82. No one sold anything. The link to the beta map has been posted here for free. The reason people post them here instead of anywhere else is that this happens to be a popular DotA blog (due to alief's regular updates, ofc).

    Anyway, I don't see what's so special about getting Quelling Blades on Nevermore. Once you get past the laning stage he farms far better with his nukes than with his normal attack (even if it's boosted to 2x damage with 4 Quelling Blades). And in the laning stage it's far better to get Bottle than two Quelling Blades.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I really like new multicast on ogre magi. with aganim, u can mutlicast x2 x3 x4 x5. it depends ur chance. also bloodlust same too. without aganim, u still have x2 x3 x4 multiply ur bloodlust or stun.

    olsa ion shall cd lowered 15 to 7. u can use both ion shell at the same time. wow !

    ReplyDelete
  84. redrach, if you are nevermore against a dual lane, and you need to stay back to not get into a stun trap, it is far easier to not have to be as precise with your last hitting if you have the quell blade and you are able to be far more defensive b/c of this. the guy has no escape mechanism.

    ReplyDelete
  85. so what if they leaked the map?
    if u don't like it don't peek at it!!! right?

    we already knew that one of the purpose of this blog is to share leaks to gamers that craves for it...

    don't visit this blog anymore if u only got pissed of the leaks they're showing...

    by the way its just leak u know...
    there's other things that you should check in ur life man....

    ReplyDelete
  86. There's absolutely nothing you can do against a leak. It's just a stupid custom fan map made for a game. Icefrog doesn't even own copyright on it, so NOTHING can happen to you.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I like the change to ogre magi's ult, it now gives a chance to trigger different lvls of multicast. with scepter it seems like you have 90% chance to trigger lv 2
    40% lv 3
    20% lv 4 and 5 or so

    I really dont know the numbers but its fun to just run around and nuke stuff to see the Multicast x2 pop up over ur head.

    ReplyDelete
  88. "There's absolutely nothing you can do against a leak. It's just a stupid custom fan map made for a game. Icefrog doesn't even own copyright on it, so NOTHING can happen to you."

    I wouldn't be so sure that there's nothing IceFrog can do against map leaks. He could, for example, wait a couple extra weaks to release the map as a punishment. (I don't even consider the possibility of stopping making dota. It is too terrible)

    ReplyDelete
  89. "Punishment"? lol. Yeah sure, punish everyone who's waiting for the map just for a few leakers.
    And I wouldn't mind a delay anyway, I enjoy figuring out the changes and watching the development process take place through the beta maps as much as I enjoy playing the final release.

    ReplyDelete
  92. @ inno bells: i think someone had posted before. It must be two of "different" items not two of the same item. SO, it is blade of alacrity and ogre axe or blade of alacrity and staff of wizardry or ogre axe and staff of wizardry.

  97. Try Cuelling Blade and kunnkas tidebringer. Its broken.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Its true that Icefrog does not have DotA copyrighted, but he could, in theory. However, I believe he trusts the players of DotA and that they will not meddle with DotA.
    Its actually relatively easy for Icefrog to make it such that the beta can only be played under certain conditions (for example, he must be present, all non-beta testers cannot play etc.)
    For all we know, however, this Beta may be about 2-3 weeks old. The amount of changes between beta and the completed version is so great that practically any would be changed (see Kunkka in the beta and in the original version, see my point?)
    Overall, I guess its fine that leaks are shared. However, please do respect Icefrog and continue to support him. He gets no pay for updating the map, but he has done such an excellent job for about 3-4 years.
    Hats off to him. Icefrog, I salute you.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I think the new Quelling Blade will destroy pubs, while making agility heroes viable on a competitive level.
    For pubs, it will be the equivalent of turning -ap games into -apem games. Now a team full of int nukers will have to gank twice as much if they want to ensure a team full of late-game heroes don't farm up tons of gold. And we all know how hard it is to convince pubbers to gank.
    Brave new world, gentlemen.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Satanic now has 150% lifesteal? but +30 bonus damage...

    ReplyDelete
  101. LOL at some "utility site".

    He/they posted beta 6.60 beta 46 as beta 47. Even photoshop'd the screenshot. Now, who's copying who??

    ReplyDelete
  102. wtf you are crying about quelling blade??? it won't make you farm faster. it just helps you last hitting early laning stage but at mid game it won't make you farm faster because @ these stage you should do all last hits anyhow. quelling blade rly only helps early game IMO. to make it usefull mid -> late icefrog made the leveler(saving itemslots for agis) but this items aren't imba.

    ReplyDelete
  103. yeah i'm agreeing with tester here. in particular, leveller's building damage increase is barely going to be used. when pushing, there tends to be a team fight occuring at every tower. your DPS (agility) should be engaging other heroes, and not autoattacking the tower...sure, afterwards it'll help, but the main use is that the carries can now save money with the wraith bands instead of having to pawn them off at a loss to make room for other items.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Play -wtf, buy MKB, go to Rosh and try to kill him ~.~

    ReplyDelete
  105. If you've ever played a pub, you'll notice that a significant portion of the game involves neutral creeping and farming in your lane. In a higher level game such a point is dominated by ganking, which is often lacking in pubs due to lack of organization.
    With 4 Quelling Blades, any melee hero can decimate neutral creeps. If you're repeatedly ganked the investment won't be worth it, but if you're left alone the returns are enormous.
    Ideally this will teach pubbers to push/gank more, but it'll take a while.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yes I thought about that too. By buffing Agi-Heros like that they'll soon be back in competetive Dota: They can help their team eralier and therefore aren't so useless in early game.

    In publics they aren't really buffed anyways. Even at the moment there are enough people that pick Agi heros. They play them as the meaning of a Carry. So farm 40-50min and kill as much heros as possible with their farmed items. (Thats the fun of many people)
    Agi heros just arent pushing in a public game. They dont even try. They just know "I'll own late" so they farm.

    Maybe it will change their playstyle like redrach said.


    BUT WHAT I THINK IS REALLY STRANGE:
    Icefrog seems to have cheated the WC3 engine while coding that MKB "Every hit will hit its target"-Stuff. Since u cant just do that with normal attacks (especially upchoke hits), he did that by making hits some kind of magic. If u hit Rosh with MKB in WTF u wont do him damage at all, because his "infinite Linkens" blocks everything. Also a shot/hit from someone that has MKB will trigger Linkens. Repel has no effect though. Haven't tested BKB.

    When he does the shots magic, it means to me, that the damage is reduced by the heros magic immunity, which is 25%. In late game that will be much more damage than physical attacks which are reduced by 45% in average.
    (I haven't tried all that shit now, but that Linkens blocking shots kinda confused me)
    Crits are never happening if u have MKB and they seem to be magic too (Rosh blocks them).

    Thats so many fundametal changes, I don't know if that'll be good.

  107. Multicast with scepter appears to give multicasts at the following rate:

    15% - none
    50% - x2
    20% - x3
    10% - x4
    5% - x5

    = 140% increased Fireblast damage.

    Compared to the old:

    70% - none
    30% - x5

    = 120% increased Fireblast damage.

  108. MKB doesn't let medusa split her shots.... Why is that? :(

    ReplyDelete
  109. bitches Ice frog updated his blog

    ReplyDelete
  110. the new 'True Strike' passive of MKB is based on bash with 100% proc rate, 0 stun length and 0 bonus damage and the 'Always Hits' flag set to true. this means that it will ignore evaision when a bash procs (which in this case is 100%)

    Medusa's split shot doesnt work when another attack modifier is applyed (ie: when she bashes or criticals, or when orb of slow etc procs)
    and afaik, ranged? bashes and criticals are blocked by linkens

    ReplyDelete
  111. no map 6.60 beta 46 in WARCRAFT MAP site?? wtf??

    ReplyDelete
  112. why are you all caring about split shot? that spell is still completely useless (unless their is some new mechanic to the spells we do not know)

    ReplyDelete
  113. Quelling Blade is kinda lol on some heroes. Put a few of them on Admiral and he one shots creep waves as well as some creep camps. Farm ohoy!

    Im not so sure that True Strike is based on Bash since you can't have a bash with 0 stun length (putting 0 stun length will make it last indefinetly). Although I doubt it is based on Critical Strike. It could be based on pulverize (if that skill has the 'Always Hits' flag).

    Also I wonder what skill Quelling Blade is based on. I don't think it is an orb effect but it seems to be disabled when you have a lifesteal orb. Because of this I tested a few orb effects and buff placers. It works with some but not with others. However I can't tell what it is that makes it work/not work with those orbs since it seems kinda random.

    Another fun fact about Quelling Blade: It works on Roshan (7x dmg with 6 Quell Blades ftw) which lets your team kill him quite early (it doesn't work with fury swipes tho so it doesn't help Ursa solo Rosh even earlier, it's rather the opposite since it lets everyone kill him earlier).

  114. true strike on MKB vs windrunner spell on Alleria
    which one will win???

    ReplyDelete
  115. Will, try Manta on Medusa. Her images gain Split Shot as well. Combined with Linkens and Mjollnir, she can do huge AoE damage in fights.

    Damage w/o Split Shot w/o Illusions: 1x
    Damage w/o Split Shot w/ Illusions: 1 + 2*0.4 = 1.8x
    Damage w/ Split Shot w/ Illusions:
    4*0.75 + 4*0.75*2*0.4 = 5.4x (!)

  128. there will be 6 new recipe items (updated from icefrog's blog), from this beta, I see only 2. Things will change alot from this beta.

    Don't hate leaked beta; if Icefrog gives something like a preview (storm spirit remake for example) it would be much better; ppl would not crave for beta that much.

  131. From the other thread:

    Beta 46 had the exact same items as Beta 45, except with Quelling Blade costing 200g instead of 300g. The main addition to Beta 46 is Rune Sounds (increased map size by 0.15MB).

  136. No, it's a fake. It is a Beta 46 which renamed into Beta 47. But of course when you play it, it still show Beta 46. The image that show Beta 47 in the front page is photoshop image. They even take the changelogs from here.

  145. Anyone had a chance to try out Razor in an actual 1v1 match to test Static Link? I'd really love to know what this does. I'd hope it does something massive since it targets in a straight line, like maybe tethering a hero to you to keep him from running?

    Great changes on him though. Plasma Field will be awesome for early game farming. My only worry is that all this has now turned him into a mana intensive unit. Better start throwing together those Perses.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Static Link is essentially a non-channeling Life Drain, only it drains 20 damage per second at level 4. So, you can essentially deal +200 damage per attack early game, while your target will do little to no damage.

    ReplyDelete
  147. How does it work though? Does it attach itself for several seconds and then disperse? From the way you make it sound is it's like Storm's Vortex, but with life drain.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Nevermind, I got to try it out with a friend. I gotta say, he's definitely going to rank up on the playables list with this. He can farm like mad now with an AoE, purges anything that hits him, can life drain for a LONG TIME as long as you stay in range, and can actually gank effectively now thanks to his Ulti's auto-targeting the lowest HP hero. He's going to be insane.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I can't believe I actually read all postings here. Took me more than an hour oO
    There are many things I'd comment, but better not. But I will support a comment where someone said to support IceFrog. Besides, DotA is free, there is nothing for anyone to complain about it (to some point, but still none),and in my four years of DotA I've met with many changes, and I can admit, this is second biggest. First was the change from stage five to stage six (followed up later with new heroes). I think, if things stay somewhere in the line with this, will be good. I know IceFrog does his job well done, and people, do you honestly expect he's gonna let newest farming item actually stack? Come on :)

    All this comments, and others, will be backed by a giant underline (to separate) when 6.60 comes out.
    *yawns* I wanted to write something more, but all will be nullified, so, happy gaming everyone :)

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  156. look, the community wouldn't so aggressively seek beta releases if Icefrog would do a far better job keeping in touch with the community. For instance, a lot of his changes are met with WTFs? in every release by professional players, and that is largely due to him being rather out of touch as he doesn't explain his logic. \If he would do more than every few weeks be like "I changed an item!" than the community wouldn't be as restless as it is now. Notice how many teams are changing around, how many people are angry/bored/frustrated, etc.? Release the map at decent interval and you'll be fine. You don't need to do a million changes at once, its absurd.

    now venge can swap as much as she can stun, u wont ever escape from her

    also invoke, 2sec cd and no mp cost
    if u know the invokes u can get off atleast 6spells in a teamfight
    this makes him toooo imba

    and other heroes ults like windrunners or abbas, get only a hardly noticeable buff, why bothering creating an item which is intended for a hero without giving it real benefits?

  179. The more I play Chieftain, the more he seems like one of the best heroes to initiate with. The combination of his ulti with the Ancestral Charge - Great Stomp combo is a near-surefire way to pretty much decimate the opposing team before the fight even started.

    Bat and Razor have their appeal as well, but I'm truly loving this moocow. Anyone got clues in what sort of combos you'd have to play Bat or Razor?

    ReplyDelete
  180. I don't get it, how do you INITIATE with TC? Both his ultimate and his stun have huge casting delays. Seems to me he's the kind of hero who needs people to initiate for him (Like Magnataur/Engima with Blink) after which he follows up while the enemy is stunned.

    ReplyDelete

  182. Bat raider with BloodSeeker seems to be a good combo. Blood ults and then bat raider ult too, so he can just walk with the ruptured enemie.


    I was playing a 1vs2 with pirate, and i bouth 6 quelling blade, it was 1 hit in a creep wave to kill them both and the intire creepwave.

    Pretty sick.

    ReplyDelete
  183. @redrach

    Yes. As we all know by now, his ulti has a really long range. Generally starting the ulti, casting charge as far as I can (maybe walking backwards a bit after doing so) I am able to get 2-3 people stunned in the path of my ulti, which hits before the stun fades.

    Haven't had a chance to test it out in a decent clanwar or inhouse (if any of you clanmates read this, COME ON!!) to see if people can all run out of my stun in time. But indeed, any little stun or disable to keep em there (like axe for instance) would do miracles, at that would give me enough time for the combo.

    I love doing a medusa + TC combo now though. Her new ulti is very effective in teamfights.

    P.S. I seem to get something I like to call "Triple Ancestral Charge Damage", the name being quite obvious. I seem to be able to do damage with my Ancestral Charge THREE times if I cause myself and my shadow to fuse on top of someone. Once from the shadow, once from myself, and yet a third from fusing together. Can anyone try this and see if they can replicate it? It might be a bug.

    ReplyDelete
  184. "Once from the shadow, once from myself, and yet a third from fusing together. Can anyone try this and see if they can replicate it?"
    - Thats how this skill works right now. But talking about a "bug" in a beta version is pretty stupid, isn´t it? And all those people complaining about balance in a BETA version also seem to be mentally retarded...

    ReplyDelete
  185. Well my thoughts on Razor is he'll have 2 different builds. For soloing Plasma Field will obviously be top priority from the start to max. For dual-laning, I think 1 rank of Field, with max to Static Link early to heavily harass early game, along with comboing with heroes like Rhasta/Storm with Net/Vortex or any other stun.

    Item-wise, I'm not sure what he should focus on now. His INT was boosted a good amount this time, so maybe Shiva might be a good item for him with Pulse Field.

    ReplyDelete
  186. @Anonymous

    In this case, with a bug I mean "unintended extra feature". And as far as I can tell the chief is pretty balanced as he is right now. It's just that I'd rather have Icefrog fix it if it's unintended than to have people abuse it once it goes live (like stacking The Leveler, bye bye throne).

    3) Kadhgar's Pipe of Insight is the name of a [b]new item[/b] in the Supportive Vestments recipe shop. Upgraded version of Hood of Defiance. Has the "Barrier" active ability - blocks limited amount of magic damage (old Storm Spirit's ability).
    4) Quelling Blade damage bonus nerfed to +36%/12% from +40%/20%. Price nerfed to 250g (from 200g in Beta 46).
    5) [b]The Leveler removed![/b]
    6) Force Staff has a new icon.
    7) Ring of Protection has a new icon.

    HEROES:
    1) Batrider's Flambreak skill changed from AoE-targeting to Arrow-type-targeting. [b]No longer has knockback![/b]
    2) Batrider's first two skills' animations are much less flashy.

    More as I find them...
