And I’am really really sure IceFrog want to make a perfect Map DotA 6.60 for all of DotA Players around The World You’ll get An Extreme Change on Map DotA 6.60 Official Map, I’am really sure about that!!

Many opinions around The World-Wide about this New Map Release, but I Hope you don’t believe The Persons who says “Map DotA 6.60 Official Map Download” That’s only bullshit News man!! Because Until Today there’s no announcement from IceFrog when the exatcly Date/Time of this New Map Release, but I’am sure Map DotA 6.60 will release at Mei (That’s out from My last prediction, I have predicted this map will released on Last April, but This Official Map is not Released Yet) I hope this map will released soon, maybe in The Middle/Last of Mei
What’s is The Little Secret??
1. Replace all the heroes tavern into top left of the map Now there’s 9 tavern: Sentinel Strength Tavern, Sentinel Agility Tavern, Sentinel Intelligence Tavern Neutrals Strength Tavern, Neutrals Agility Tavern, Neutrals Intelligence Tavern Scourge Strength Tavern, Scourge Agility Tavern, Scourge Intelligence Tavern Neutrals Hero can be picked by either Scourge or Sentinel
Add Tauren Chieftain to Sentinel Strength Tavern ( WoW.., that’s mean Tauren Chieftain will be on Sentinel side ^^ ) Tauren Chieftain’s Attack Range of 128 (melee).
Add Bat Rider to Neutrals Intelligence Tavern
2. Hero remade on Razor and Viper
All Razor skill is remade, except for his Chain Lightning (IceFrog will give the update later)
Viper 2nd skill was remade, replace Frenzy with Nethertoxin (passive, give additional damage depends on enemy’s health)
Maybe IceFrog will Remade another Heroes, That’s mean not only that 2 Heroes which I mentioned above!!
3. Two ( 2 ) New Items
Magic Wand

Hey!! Did you Read “Bat Rider” on number 1 ?? Hehehe.. yes, that’s true, this Hero is already exist on previous version but for Map DotA 6.60, IceFrog will Revive This Creature again and give New Skills on him!! Bat Rider now has ability to bind a target enemy like Rhasta Skill ( Hero Shackles ) but the different is if you move anywhere else when you bind your enemy, your skill is can’t be canceled ( you still bind your enemy ) !! More information of Bat Rider please wait until the Final Release from IceFrog, that’s only leaked News ;p
Maybe IceFrog will introduce another Heroes not only Bat Rider!! That’s why I say that’s only BETA Version !! Not The FINAL Release of Map DotA 6.60!! Many more change will happen in this Map DotA 6.60.
That’s Tauren Chieftain with Spirit Breaker Skins ;p
If this map is Ready ( Final Release from IceFrog ) I’ll share with you Map DotA 6.60 Official Map Fresh from The Oven!! I’ll do as fastest as I can..!! ^^
Dota 6.60 Beta 45 Changes Summary (relatively to Dota 6.60 Beta 21)
Below is a compilation from redrach analysis about the changes and other feedback:
Heroes Changes
Huskar has been hugely buffed now with indefinitely stacking Burning Spears, and Aghanim's that increases damage done to enemy by his ultimate (65% of their HP) and a reduced cooldown (15 -> 8!!) Looks like Aghanim's is *the* item of choice on him now.
Razor has been remade to be less of a point-and-click hero. Chain lightning has been replaced by 'Plasma Field' - a huge AoE nuke that hits twice if you micro, and his ultimate is now an active that attacks one unit at random. I'm unsure what 'Static Link' does, but presumably his ultimate has been coded to attack the linked enemy in particular.
All-in-all he seems harder to play, but I'm unsure if he's stronger than his 6.59d counterpart. (He's definitely weaker than his imba 6.60 beta 21 version)
Medusa now has an AoE Purge for her ultimate ('Stony Gaze' - fits her theme better)! But it only works on enemies that attack her (or are facing her? Unsure.) Which means its useless while chasing. Bit of a nerf there. Chain Lightning has been replaced by 'Mystic Snake' which just seems to be a slower version of Chain Lightning. There must be more to it, but I can't tell.
Sniper's changes really disappoint me. Scattershot has been replaced by 'Shrapnel' - a 30% AoE slow that does 40 dps over 10 seconds at level 4. Unfortunately such a skill would only slightly boost Sniper's survivability, and the slow only affects units in the AoE to boot. Which means he's still gank fodder.
Also now he can no longer one-hit creep waves, making him more of a sucky farmer.
Aghanim's now reduces his ultimate's casting time and increases range.
Items Changes
- Pipe of Khandahar (1500g), item that allows you to activate 'Ghost Form', an ability that makes you invulnerable to attacks, makes you unable to attack, but lets you cast spells. Unsure if you take more damage from spells in Ghost Form, or if you're even targetable. Would make it a decrepify clone, except without the MS reduction.
- Talisman of Evasion (1800g), gives you 25% evasion.
- Monkey King Bar now has 'True Strike', a passive that ensures your attacks always hit (bypasses evasion). Which means it counters the above item.
(The two changes above severely hurt Mortred. Now any agility hero can cheaply (relative to Butterfly) obtain evasion, and also counter Mortred's evasion.)
- Quelling Blade (300g), cheap new item that gives +40% damage (20% for ranged) vs. non-hero units. Clearly an item meant to help melee heroes farm. Good starting item for Void, IMO.
- The Leveller, upgrade for Quelling Blade. Gives a lot of +stats (lots of +agi), plus 40% damage to non-hero units and 60% damage to buildings (20% and 30% for ranged). This relatively cheap item should help a lot of melee agility heroes contribute more to their team in pushes, as well as help them farm better. Prediction: Battlefury + Leveller will be the new in-thing for pubbers to get.
- Poor Man's Shield, upgrade for Stout Shield that gives 100% chance to reduce hero damage by 25. Seems like a completely useless item to me, esp. now that Vanguard has a 70% chance to block 40 damage from all sources (up from 65%), even though it's quite a bit cheaper than Vanguard.
- Manta Style is now an upgrade for Yasha (wtf). It has Illussion (actives), no longer give Feedback orb, and only gives +stats and bonus move and attack speed (wtf). Needless to say, this is a bizarre change.
- Diffusal Blade is now upgradable like Dagon! (Level 1 - +22 agi, +6 int, burns 20 mana, Level 2 - +36 agi, +10 int, burns 36 mana) Upgrading the recipe refills Purge charges (8). Now it's a strong item on its own.
- Sange and Yasha no longer needs a recipe, so it's 500g cheaper overall.
- Reduced Hammer cost by 10
- Rapier back to +250 damage
- Reduced Radiance Recipe cost
- Vanguard now gives 70% block
Maelstrom's recipe and stats have changed:
Mithril Hammer (1600g) + Gloves of Haste (500g) + Recipe (900g) = Maelstrom (3000g)
Grants +24 damage, +15 attack speed, and a 20% ctc 150 damage Chain Lightning.
Now the items reflect the theme (Mithril Hammer -> Hammer icon of Maelstrom) as well as synergize with the proc (more attack speed = more Chain Lightning procs)
Butterfly recipe changed:
Eaglehorn (3300g) + Quarterstaff (900g) + Talisman of Evasion (1800g) [No Recipe]
Other Changes
New System of messages when one takes a rune.
Completely revamped LR
Courier now has new skill , Return Home
Emphasis to farming , many tool-tips now have " Damage to non-hero units "
Undying's Tombstone AoE dropped a lot (for instance at 4 its 1200->1000).
