Version Notes

Updated to game version 6.87.

General

  • Reworked Ranked All Pick. Before the picking phase begins, there is a 15 second voting phase to ban heroes. Each player votes for a different hero. Afterwards, half of the heroes that were voted on will be randomly selected and banned.
    • Two players cannot vote for the same hero. The game displays heroes as they are voted on, but not who voted. The number of bans is equal to half the total number of votes. If there is an odd number of votes, the number of bans is randomly rounded up or down.
    • The random ban selection will choose at most 3 heroes from one specific team's votes, so it's more evenly split.
  • Each team now has a Scan ability, available on the minimap UI.
    • Scans a targeted 900 AoE for 8 seconds. Indicates whether there are enemy heroes in that area during the 8 seconds.
    • Starts on cooldown and has a global team-wide cooldown of 4.5 minutes
    • Note: Does not consider units inside the Roshan Pit, but does consider Smoked
    • Note: Does not show how many heroes there are, just if there are any enemies. Enemies do not know when your team casts it.
