Step Lightly: The Techies Update

Just when you thought it was safe to walk, well, anywhere. Techies are finally coming to Dota 2, along with a host of new features and Compendium stretch goals, including the new All Random Deathmatch mode and the All-Hero Challenge. Check out the Techies Update page and learn more about everything you’ll be seeing, doing, and fighting when the update goes live next week!

YES!!

DEATH TO RAT DOTO

New riki bot AI guys, now not only can we have human teammates that feed the invisable goat, but now bot teammates as well!!!

AND a pudge bot. Can wait to see him own, 'cus bot accuracy OP

lol, i think dota is the only game where aimbot doesn't help you.

YES TECHIES!! NOW ALL BAD RIKIS WILL DIE SPONTANEOUSLY!
Ok now that's done. Real question; When are they releasing the patch notes?

Oh my god, why now, when I'm always back from my 1.5 month "vacation" from doto, why not a month ago so I won't get them in every game? TY Lord Gaben.

Even worse, that All Hero Challenge, like giving 10 random heroes people don't know was not enough already. enough

Reports are more powerful? That's quite good, IceFrog listened to DotoFire at last.
New alt-clicks are even better. Good, maybe 6.82 is not that bad.
"Fixed replay highlight reel transition graphic getting stuck on sometimes" - sometimes, ha-ha-ha. Nice fix anyway.

Wait, where are balance changes?

Guys there will be balance changes, but those are to be realesed something next week, they just wanted to get te techies hype out of the way.

I actually am excited about this part: "Bots in solo bot matches will wear your equipped cosmetics"
Now I can actually die happily from a well-equipped bot lol

Actually, I think it's better that the bots just wear any random set (so even if you're a poor scrub you can still see the sets). This way, it acts as an advertisements for said sets as well as a good eye candy even for those with not enough money to spend on sets.

Not that it really matters that much though :p

I think the all hero challenge can be interesting to play, but to be honest I hate it. I mean, ever seen an Invoker that says: "my first time playing this hero, getting it for all hero challenge", then proceed to play with only 2 spells the whole game? Be prepared.

I'm actually happy that bot matches are getting new AI. I'm hoping for the day all heroes get AI for bots... even invoker ;)
