DotA - Luck is no Excuse

Do you ever lose a fight when your enemies only left with 10 hp? Well, you can call him lucky.. But if you see this movies, you will call that a PRO! Luck is no Excuse! This is a really great movies by Hex0r that show you many example of PRO prediction, map awareness and teamwork. Including denying each other at the same time! I give this video 5/5! ;)



One of my favourite scene is when Axe with 100 hp surviving from Zeus, Enchantress and Centaur(Dominated Neutral Creep) by juggling in the forest. And what makes it more fantastic is that he manage to turn the table and caused Zeus to death (alone) and also kill Enchantress with the help of Lion. Enjoy!

PS: I already watch this 5 times ^^

Dota 6.63 - Dota-Allstars 6.63 (Released!) Official Map Download, Changelogs News & Update

Dota 6.63 - Dota-Allstars 6.63 Map Download, Changelog News and Update. Dota 6.62 is finally released together with Patch 1.24b. Now, what will happen to Dota 6.63? IceFrog already give a hint on the PlayDota forums that it Dota 6.63 will likely consist of several balance.

Final Update: It's released! Check the Dota-Allstars 6.63 post!

Update 7 September 2009 (IceFrog's Blog)

I am still actively working on the next balance patch. The first thing I started on a couple of weeks ago (after we were finally done with 6.62/1.24) was experimenting with a bunch of different item changes (heart, bloodstone, treads, phase boots, pipe and many more). No changes are set in stone yet though, since they all revolve around each other in many ways, so naturally some items will get changes and some won't. There are also lots of different balance tweaks for heroes. I think it is shaping up to be a nice gameplay update overall though.

I may end up releasing 6.63 with a bunch of balance improvements sooner and then follow up with another patch for some more adjustments, depending on how things go during the next week or two.

There will also be a nice surprise for everyone in 6.63

Wow! What kind of surprise await us on Dota 6.63 ^^? I'm curious..

Update 1 September 2009 (IceFrog's Blog)

I've added HLC support to 6.63. This functionality allows leagues that use hosting bots to handle the game mode functions directly.

While the feature will still be tested to ensure that there are no unexpected side effects, I wanted to give leagues an early notice about this frequently requested feature.

Great, this will great help to the bots on hosting Dota 6.63 above ;)

Update 26 August 2009 (IceFrog's Blog)

The 6.62 release seems to be a smooth one so far, no major bugs reported yet.

I am starting 6.63 development now. This patch will be primarily focused on balance improvements.

If there are any changes you'd like to suggest, please feel free. When making recommendations though, try to explain why you think a change would be good and what level of play you refer to.

Yeah, at last, the Dota 6.63 development has started! :D

Update 26 August 2009 (PlayDota Forums)

I don't know the release date. If we don't need a 6.62b, then 6.63 will immediately start development. It will be mostly balance changes, so it won't be a long time like the previous ones.

Well, at least after several months we've been busy with the new patch, now we can hope for new content/changes :)

Dota 6.62 Bug & Exploit (Infinite Bottle) - Dota-Allstars 6.62 Bug

Dota 6.62 Bug & Dota 6.62 Exploit. Dota-Allstars 6.62 has a really serious bug which a trully game breaking one. Thanks to Atti who emailed me a YouTube link this morning. It seems that on Dota 6.62 there's an exploit that let you have an infinite bottle charge. And what make it's more game breaking is that this Dota 6.62 bug is very easy to reproduce with ANY HERO! You can see the below video or just following my procedure:




1. Get any hero.
2. Buy a Town Portal and a Bottle.
3. Empty the Bottle.
4. Teleport into the fountain (click the target circle to the fountain).
5. While teleporting, Shift+Click the Bottle to the fountain (just like when you capturing a rune).
6. There you go! Now you have your own infinite Bottle. If your Bottle empty, just point the target on items (point to your own empty bottle will also do it!) or units and it will be refilled!

Well, let's wait for Dota 6.62b shall we..? ^^;; What do you think? Do you have another bug to share? ;) Don't forget to subscribe our feeds for more Dota-Allstars news :)
