DotA v6.66b Released

ImageDotA developer IceFrog has just released the latest map update of the game; this time focusing upon bugs and a Doom Bringer nerf.



Due to the special occasion of including the three sixes in the map's name, IceFrog decided to make the demonic Doom Bringer a specialty for the community. Now that there has been a major bug discovered and the perfection of having three identical numbers together is no longer an option, the juiced up hero has been balanced out. Doom Bringer's armor has been reduced by two, along with his movement speeed by ten integer points. His scorched earth cooldown times, first introduced in v6.66, have been increased by integers of five plus previous cooldowns. However, none of Doom Bringer's other recently-reworked spells have undergone drastic changes in cooldowns or effects.

The other major material change to the game includes the recently-reworked Divine Rapier. Due to manipulation of the new system, the item now is unavailable for use by the original owner's teammates. If a teammate picks it up, its massive damage bonuses will not take effect. However, the new details introduced in the last version still exist and an enemy that acquires the item will be forced to hold it until killed.

As sourced from the DotA v6.66b changelog:
* Various map optimizations
* Fixed an old recipe fusing exploit with leaver items that could result in crashes
* Fixed Essence Shift on units that change form

* Fixed being able to -unlock while a switch vote is ongoing
* Fixed some spells incorrectly triggering Magic Stick/Essence Aura (Devoured Neutral Troll Priests Heal, Radiance Swap, etc)

Several other fundamental changes have been applied and may be viewed on the changelog, as well.
