With the recent announcement of the new update for DOTA 2, 6.85, being announced by Icefrog, I felt like it was a time to look back at everything 6.84 did to the meta-game, public’s and competitive.
6.84 gave us Aghanim’s Scepter effects to Alchemist, Legion Commander, Lifestealer, Lone Druid, Morphling, Naga Siren, Nyx Assassin, Outworld Devourer, Tusk and Wraith King. We also got a plethora of new items, tailored around supports and mid laners. Heroes such as Leshrac, and Lina grew more powerful with the addition of Octarine Core, and carries that relied on invisibility for ganking, too grew stronger with the addition of Silver Edge.
