It's Game Ogre

-Update-

Ogre Magi has been updated on the Dota 2 site, and added to the main client.

-------------------------------------

Valve has updated the Dota 2 Test client tonight, and finally gifts/curses (delete as appropriate) us with the return of the perennial "pub-basher", and perhaps the most luck-dependent hero ever to grace/ruin the game: Ogre Magi.

Time to gamble on luck...

Love him or hate him, but he's back and he's here to stay, and that's not all that's significant in this week's update. The development team also introduce a brand new Dashboard and Hero Picker to the client, as well as enabling Treant Protector in captain's mode, giving competitive players yet another hero to consider in their drafts.

Complete changelog is available here or below.

Added Ogre Magi!

New Dashboard!

New Hero Picker!

GAMEPLAY

Enabled Treant Protector in Captain's Mode.
Spectre: Fixed Haunt Illusions having collision.
Lifestealer: Fixed Rage being dispellable
Spirit Breaker: Fixed Charge of Darkness immediately failing when cast on Razor's Unstable Current.
Bounty Hunter: Fixed a bug that could sometimes allow Jinada to work on buildings.
Fixed Black King Bar not dispelling Haste and Double Damage.

Revised performance bar calculation and display.
Added support for putting bots into individual slots in a private lobby.
Fixed issue where the camera would recenter when quickly switching between different control groups.
Fixed incorrect player id when pinging runes.
Added a short cooldown to the chat message when pinging a rune.
Added disconnected player icon in scoreboard and top bar.

AUDIO

The game start horns now play different cues from each team location and are now spatial.
Added sound when the courier delivers items to you.

VISUALS

First pass at spectator-only Roshan timer.
Added overhead healing messages for Warlock and Bloodseeker.
Fixed a visual hitch sometimes experienced while spectating using Directed view.

BOTS

Increased bot cautiousness when going to the side shop.
When invisible, bots will now only use abilities or items that they really want to use.
Bots are now more likely to roam and gank when invisible.
Juggernaut bot will no longer offensively use Blade Fury when he's sufficiently powerful (better to just attack).
Zeus will now use Wrath in teamfights.
Fixed bug where Vengeful bot could try to swap out-of-range allies.

While it doesn't LOOK worse, the layout is most definitely much worse.

The pick system is fine, nothing wrong with the cards. Also you can choose if you want the normal pick screen or the cards. And now you can sort the heroes by alot of things

very strong downgrade from actual version.....
the dashboard looks like a cheap FTP game.....but i can deal with it...
but tbh the hero selection is the worst thing they ever implemented in dota2

It's the first version of the Dashboard/Hero Picker and they are explicitly asking for feedback (just like with the new item icons).<br />
<br />
It's a good start but still needs some refinement especially on the Picker.

Phoenix, Ember spirit, Dragonus, Legion Commander, Shredder, and Pitlord are the only heroes restricted in Captains pick.
