It has been a while since we have had new heroes to play with and this time we have one hero which has always come in and out fashion for DOTA players, and one hero that is generally never selected for competitive play.The first of that list is Silencer , a hero that is very talented in the art of disrupting a team's ability to time their spells perfectly and even going to the point of stopping any spell on a global scale. The second is Spirit Breaker (SB), the craziest of the heroes charging at his enemies and bashing them into submission, while SB is a hero that has never really found a solid place in competitive DOTA play maybe he can find one here in the DOTA 2 BETA.The largest of the changes includes the new items and changes to the heroes that were added in the WC3 DOTA patch 6.73. For the full list of changes you can find the visit the DOTA 2 changelog . To help guide you through the changes the joinDOTA crew recommends you look closely at the following changes.Hero Changes- Alchemist: Goblin's Greed bonus gold limit increased from 18 to 26.- Anti-Mage: Reverted the 6.72 Base Attack Time improvement, BAT from 1.35 to 1.45.- Dragon Knight: While in Dragon form Dragon Tail's cast range increased from 150 to 400.- Skeleton King: Reincarnation cooldown decreased from 300/220/140 to 260/160/60.- Sand King: Caustic Finale buff duration increased from 2 to 8 seconds.Items- New Items.- Divine Rapier: Damage increased from 250 to 300.- Couriers: Now give 150 to each enemy player, instead of 300 to the killer.- Couriers: No longer drop items when they die.- Couriers: Respawn 3 minutes after death, the items they have are inaccessible during that time- Runes will no longer spawn the same rune type 2 times in a row.
