At last, 6.65 is available for downloads. Being the great developer we're all accustomed to, IceFrog released not one, but 2 (TWO!) new heroes
The expected Murloc Nightcrawler surprisingly got a partner, in the form of the cold-themed, intelligence-based Ancient Appariton, who even sports a custom model!Aside from the mentioned, the developer also implemented a new item: Urn of Shadows. Passively provides modest bonuses to mana regeneration and strength. The fun part comes from it's active Death-coilesque ability, which can either heal or damage, gaining charges from the nearby enemy deaths (similar to Bloodstone).
To all who complained about the current metagame discouraging ganking by the heavy use of Scrolls of Town Portal, comes a Christmas nerf: If more heroes are teleporting to the same tower, the cast time of the second one will be prolonged, starting from 5 seconds, and increasing as more heroes are nearby.
Honorable rework mentions go to Visage, who is a completely different hero now, Alchemist, whose Unstable Concoction can even harm himself now, and the new small neutral camp.
