Patch Notes

Update Notes - July 18, 2012

    Added Naga Siren!
    Added new stats dropdown feature when spectating!

    GAMEPLAY
    - Enabled Naga Siren in Captain's Mode.
    - Disruptor: Fixed Glimpse affecting Warlock Golem and Spirit Bear.
    - Silencer: Fixed Curse of the Silent affecting Warlock Golem and Spirit Bear.
    - Storm Spirit: Fixed Static Remnant blocking creep camps
    - Templar Assassin: Fixed Refraction being dispellable.
    - Undying: Fixed a case where early game zombies could sometimes get stuck with an earlier or invalid level of Deathlust into the late game.
    - Beastmaster: Fixed the path that Wild Axes take. It should now work the way it was originally intended.
    - Fixed Shadow Word refreshing its debuff version when stolen and cast as a buff.
    - Fixed Dazzle's Weave refreshing its debuff version when stolen and cast as a buff.
    - Fixed restealing an ability (stealing another ability in-between) not restting its cooldown.
    - Fixed Diffusal Blade stopping Force Staff movement.
    - Fixed Refraction and Pipe causing Blink Dagger to not get disabled.

    UI
    - Sellback times no longer expire when moving items to the courier.
    - Fixed item stocks not restoring correctly when multiple items are sold back within the sellback time.
    - Added a message when a player denies the Aegis.
    - Added confirmation dialog before starting a practice lobby with a league set but one or more teams not set.
    - Added client-side console variables allowing spectators to locally disable certain announcer lines. Especially useful for broadcasters. The cvars are:
    - cl_dota_speech_spec_towerattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_towerfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_ancientattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_enemybasefalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_idles .
    - Set any of them to '0' to prevent that line from playing. (Broadcasters will almost always want to set cl_dota_speech_spec_idles 0 ).
    - Multiple players who have the same announcer equipped in the same game should now hear the same speech.

Hero Prediction

Not really sure. We can expect anything at this point. Meepo, Keeper of the Light, Nyx Assassin, Techies, Magnataur etc.
