Almost right after Blizzard released its no-CD patch, IceFrog followed with a new Defense of the Ancients map update. The new map features an enormous changelog, from balancing and reworking heroes to moving creep camps and trees all over the map.
A blast from the past, the Invoker makes a return to the world of DotA. After being an easter egg in 6.49, IceFrog brought back the old Invoker. The hero follows a completely different model, using a combination of three separate “settings” to create other skills. The model uses a Blood Mage with a white cloak.
While most competitions use the most updated version of a game, the map will probably not be included in the upcoming E-Sports World Cup event. This is due to balance issues, new items, and the fact that any new heroes are generally banned anyway.
Currently, 6.48b remains the stable map for league play.
