Version 0.1.65
--------------
General

- Significant Lane Creep AI changes
* These all involve the assist trigger that causes the creeps to aggro you when you attack an enemy hero:
1. When a hero causes the assist trigger to go off, there is a 200ms delay before the creeps will turn and come at you
2. Creeps will chase for exactly 1600ms (down from 1800ms)
3. If a creep is in the middle of an attack animation but has not hit its attack impact point (600ms), it will de-aggro and stop its attack as long as you are out of it's short melee range
* AKA: Creeps will not finish attacks they start on you if they hit the end of the trigger
4. A creep must deal damage before it can be called by the assist trigger again
* This means if you tug, they must turn around and actually deal damage to a unit before it can chase again
5. You must be within 600 units of an enemy hero to cause the assist trigger to go off

- Added a stringtable entry for Meatball
- Updated the ramps to be better

- Added a Patch Notes button in place of the Create Account button on the main screen
* This was a Mod, thanks to Thread 65344 and Sephinator

según tengo entendido, de eso no hay mayor información, y hasta por ahí se dice que aun falta el open beta que seran sus 4 o 5 meses, y más aun, queda que eso del futuro release quede en eso nada mas, que solo el comprar te va dar el taunt y demás como el Premium de cualquier juego, como en anteriores juegos de S2.

Sinceramente o bajan de precio, se queda en este modo, o el release se hace a finales de año o más, cuando ya se le meta en torneos* y no quede marcha atrás, otro seria meterle otro modo, tipo historia, para que no se sienta tan vacio, es opinion personal clarop

[FoX-FiRe]

bueno la otra ves quise poner los avances pero vi que no se podia xD
pero ya levantaron la restriccion asi que aqui les va =D
