Dota 2 Update - Brewmaster Released in Public Servers - I love you guys! - April 19, 2012

Brewmaster now available on Dota 2! In today's Dota 2 Patch Update we welcome Mangix - The Brewmaster (He was the Pandaren Brewmaster from Dota).

The Brewmaster is a carry / tank /initiation hero that worked well with blink dagger and had a good ult that could be used to initiate or escape with. During his ult he turns into 3 different units that have no items but they are controllable and have different skills. As long as they don't get killed he can turn back into the brown one known as the Earth Warrior. The other two warriors are known as the Fire Warrior and Storm Warrior. He can carry with his critical and dodge passive known as Drunken Brawler. Depending on your item build you'll probably go with a carry build that has a blink dagger and a heart to initiate, tank some damage and deal damage.

Here are the skills for Mangix - The Brewmaster.

Below the skills I have listed the patch notes for the test build and future public build. Thank you for reading my update for this week's Dota 2 Patch Update. I really appreciate your support :)
