Dota 2 Test Client patch saves content for next week

Content patch of 26 September contains mostly bugfixes only. Content is "saved for next week".

After adding the five Meepo heroes last week, Valve does not progress on implementing the remaining 17 heroes in this week's content patch. The test client includes mostly bugfixes, minor UI improvements and changes to the bots. The changes will be implemented on the regular client tomorrow, if no problems occur on the test clients.

The explicit mention of content for next week corresponds with Icefrog's wall paper leak for DotA 6.75 which listed "some new content". Are we seeing the 6.75 changes this fast in Dota 2? Or is it "just" one or two more heroes of the remaining ones? 3 October is the day to mark in your calendar for the next test client patch.

Changelog 26 September:

This week we're shipping an embarrassing lack of content. We're saving it all for next week.

GAMEPLAY
- Fixed Illuminate going 400 further than intended.
- Fixed Psi Blades being slightly too wide in its spill.

UI
- Fixed range cursor always using the player's main hero instead of the currently casting unit.
- Fixed bug where connecting during CM pick stage resulted in a broken pick/ban view.
- Added control groups 7, 8, 9, and 10.
- Enabled equipped Pennants showing up in your base.

AUDIO
- Added custom sounds when Tiny has an ultimate scepter equipped and is attacking with a tree.

BOTS
- Added Luna bot.
- Added Dazzle bot.
- Only use suggested heroes if we have bot implementations for them.
- Lich bot will now use Frost Nova when laning to harass, if he has plenty of mana.
- Fixed bug that would cause Viper to use Poision Attack on creeps when laning.
- Bots will now sell TP scrolls if they need the inventory space to buy an item from the Secret Shop.
- Made Bane bot less likely to use abilities when doing a mild retreat.
- Fixed Razor's Plasma Field usage in-lane which was just completely broken. He should spam it less now.
- Tiny will now Avalanche at a slightly further distance when trying to do his combo.
- Windrunner will try to Shackleshot when retreating less now, and only when Windrun isn't active.
- Bots will no longer want to do Roshan when they aren't sufficiently tanky.
- When buying TP scrolls, bots will now try to purchase two of them since they tend to run around without any too often
- Fixed bug where bots wouldn't lower their farm desire when they reached enough money to make a big purchase, resulting in them farming forever.
- Fixed bug in Armlet toggling.
- Fixed bug that was causing bots to use Mekansm when no one needed healing.
- Fixed bug that was causing bots to incorrectly extrapolate movement positions (breaking abilities that need to lead their targets like Torrent or Light Strike Array).
