Dota 2 v6.80 is here and with it comes the long awaited hero Terrorblade as well as a new mode called "Random Ability Draft" where players draft abilities instead of heroes. On top of that, multiple heroes are changed and Earth Spirit leads the competition for longest changelog.
The long awaited Terrorblade - brother of the Anti-Mage, finally sets his feet in Dota 2 and is the first thing most people will notice about the changelog of the upcoming patch. The agility-intense hero once known as "the king of carries" is hopefully a contender to most viable and commonly picked carry heroes of today. His skills are:
Reflection - Create a double of your foe, which then attacks its original as it slows their movement.
Conjure image - Summon forth an illusion of yourself to aid you in battle.
Metamorphosis - Embrace the darkness within, trading your melee attack for a ranged strike while gaining additional damage.
Sunder - Sever the soul of an ally or enemy, exchanging your health for theirs.
The other new thing is the new mode Random Ability Draft. When playing the mode, each players get assigned a random hero. The players then take turns drafting abilities for their heroes, a mode familiar to those used to the WarCraft 3 DotA where certain maps called "OMGDota" had this mode.
On top of that, most heroes are receiving changes one way or another, most noticably Earth Spirit who has the affects of Boulder Smashed and Geomagnetic Grip swapped with one another. Also Broodmother becomes less annoying as she can no longer terrian skip when revealed (by Dust or Sentry for instance). The arguably most amusing change is Faceless Void receiving a movespeed of 1000 plus phasing when moving inside his Chronosphere.
