Next patch PREVIEW

Today’s Queen of Pain art brought by r-chie. I couldn’t find Pudge’s artist – if you know its origin, please let me know so I can credit it properly!


Hello, dedicated IMBA players!

This page will always include a teaser of the heroes and features which will come in the next weekly patch (delivered on saturdays). Come back whenever can’t wait to see what’s coming next!

The May 30th patch will bring two heroes from their “placeholder” state to their proper IMBA glory. This week it’s time for one of Dota’s most iconic heroes, and one of his common mid lane contenders:

* Pudge, the Butcher

Pudge’s iconic hook will extend further than normal; targets hit by it will also bleed all the way back to the Butcher, making longer-range hooks hurt that much more. Rot will create a huge cloud of putridness around Pudge, which will grow stronger as he joins enemies to his mass of flesh. Flesh Heap itself will also make Pudge larger, as well as more resistant to magic, with each kill. Finally, Dismember will bear the full brunt of Pudge’s weight upon his victims, dealing damage based on his strength. The Butcher will also be able to purchase an Aghanim’s Scepter to extend his hooks’ range even further.

* Akasha, the Queen of Pain

Prepare for your sweetest death yet – Akasha comes with a whole new arsenal of disorientation and kill potential. She will have a chance to hurl her new, improved poisoned daggers on each attack, and her screams will disorient foes hit, causing them to hurt themselves in their confusion when trying to attack or cast spells. Queen of Pain will also perform a brief scream every time she blinks, both on the start and end point. Finally, Akasha’s huge Sonic Wave will deafen all targets hit, causing them to stumble around when moving, and take increased damage from all sources. When armed with Aghanim’s Scepter, her ultimate will also echo a Scream of Pain on each target hit.

* Both sange and yasha will be reworked. You will also finally be able to combine the attribute swords freely – sange & yasha, sange & azura, and azura & yasha! Plus a mysterious combination of all three swords…

* Bug fixes! Yay!

Stay tuned on this page for the latest news. Now go, and have fun!

One thought on “Next patch PREVIEW

  1. So… Is this mod still beeing developed? I really love, what you have done so far. But on the 30th of may you said the patch would come on that monday. Now that is more than a week ago and no new posts since then. If you read this could you pls post something about the state of developement or, if it is still Pudge causing issues just skip him for now and move on?
