Team Spirit analyst Mark "sikle" Lerman shared his thoughts on the Dota 2 patch. He believes the update will completely revolutionize the meta.
"I have an unshakeable feeling that the patch will be revolutionary, and it needs to be studied very thoroughly.
The lines about revealing the map, Silencer being immune to silence, an 18-slot Lone Druid, Lifestealer's permanent lifestyle increase from killing creeps, and Mars's arena taking away vision are especially alarming. Of course, if all of this turns out to be true.
If every hero gets their own built-in ability, even more so. Looks like we'll be pulling an all-nighter." - Mark "sikle" Lerman.
In the early hours of March 22, Valve released a teaser for the Dota 2 patch. In the "Crossroads Market" location, a new area called "Shifting Darkness" appeared, where fragments of the forthcoming update can be read.
