UPDATE: CK, PA and Gyro now available

-Update-

Valve has now released the patch for the main client for Dota 2, Chaos Knight, Phantom Assassin and Gyrocopter are now available for play!

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


For many months, Valve has added either none or one new hero to Dota 2 in the weekly patch. Tonight, they blow our minds with three new heros to play! They are: Chaos Knight, Phantom Assassin and Gyrocopter, and they made it into the test build!

Phantom Assassin, also known as Mortred, is a melee hard carry with amazing chasing abilities and the highest critical strike in the game. Chaos knight can offer a stun and some of the strongest illusions in the world of Dota2. Gyrocopter, a quite new hero by way of comparison, is all about dealing a lot of AoE (Area of Effect) damage in all stages of the match, thanks to his various powerful rockets.



The second highlight of the latest update is a beautiful addition to the replay system: Replays can now be watched by just clicking on a certain link. Beyond that, it's even possible to create a URL that allows viewers to start watching at a specific point in time. This will make it a lot easier to show someone a particular highlight from a round of Dota 2.

The complete changelog:

GAMEPLAY
- Added Chaos Knight, Phantom Assassin, and Gyrocopter!
- Drow: Fixed Frost Arrows not working on mechanical units.
- Morphling: Added effects for strength and agility morph as well as an overhead timer for replicate.
- Nature's Prophet: Fixed Sprout destroying other trees around it.
- Shadow Demon: Fixed Soul Catcher being dispellable.
- Shadow Demon: Fixed Shadow Poison impact damage not hurting Disrupted units (and thus not disabling Blink).
- Fixed targeted spells not temporarily revealing the attacker.
- Fixed Orb of venom working on denies.
- Fixed the following spells being castable on magic immune allies: Nightmare, Frost Armor, Nature's Guise, Holy Persuasion, Decrepify, Astral Imprisonment, Shadow Word and X Marks The Spot

UI
- Selecting "Equip" on an item in the backpack now flips to the loadout and automatically does the equipping for you.
- Added support for watching replays via URL. For example, "dota2://dota2://matchid=15478&matchtime=300" will go directly to five minutes into match 15478.
- Added button in replay panel to copy an URL into the clipboard that can be used to get back to that point in that replay.
- Added Hall of Fame trophies to the bases. Clicking on them will display the winning teams of The International.

DOTA 2 BOTS
- Made bots not leave a gank if they currently have the ability to reincarnate and allies are still attacking.
- Fixed bug where bots would pick their heroes before humans locked in their picks.


Sadly this patch won't reach the regular Dota 2 client before Monday. Valve wants to get The International wild card qualifiers done first.

The Gyro model was from WC3, and Gyro only existed in 6.6X/7X so Guinsoo has no credit whatsoever.
