Five-Man Solo Ganks Are Now Possible


The patch update has arrived and has brought along 'Meepo, The Geomancer'.
Yes, all five of them.

First spotted in the image feed during The International and predicted to be as an incoming hero in Cyborgmatt's Patch analysis on September, 13th, The Geomancer has finally arrived. It appears that Valve has outdone itself this time around as releasing five heroes in a single patch, has never been witnessed before.
The following is an excerpt of the Changelog:
- Added Meepo!
- Added Meepo!
- Added Meepo!
- Added Meepo!
- Added Meepo!
- In the Test client, heroes will now randomly equip cosmetic items every time they spawn.
GAMEPLAY
- Pugna: Fixed Nether Ward briefly registering the incorrect team right after casting.
- Wisp: Fixed being able to Teleport a Tethered creep to the enemy base.
- Lich: Fixed Chain Frost being dodgable.
Although an extremely rare pick in competitive Dota games, Meepo was known to wreck havoc with a blink dagger initiation and subsequent team wipes. It was also the hero that garnered maximum experience throughout the game. It’s worth mentioning that the hero requires a fair amount micro-controlling skill and needs decent amount of practice.
With its inclusion Dota2, we would finally be able to get some hard statistics with respect to the average Gold-per-minute and Experience that its capable of accumulating. It would be safe to say that any previously set records for these statistics are in for a contest.
UI
- Pennants now work for any game that's part of a tournament.
The pennants have now been given relevance, post TI2, and will be enabled on every game that is part of a tournament.
