Rumors

Yeah the magic auto attacks is kind of weird, does other mobas have that?

No. At least LoL doesn't. They still have a mix of damage, like Freya ( Best example from LoL is Kog'Maw). But not magical damage on AAs.

I don't know if that happens on Dota2. Never played HoN.

Kind of cool that they are doing something different, but hopefully they will tweak the mechanic more as the game goes on :p

I don't think the damage in DOTA have types (physical/magical) I don't really know

I think basic magic attacks should only be on chronos and isis (goddess of magic, I mean, please)

In lol, I think Akali is a good example

I'm not sure, however, it's going to be cupid and 2 ADC's...Cupid already is one. But they said someone small, and I can't think of anyone else. So I guess it just means there's going to be 3 ADC's with it, which counting apollo, yields that only 2 won't have a gold skin.

And @All4Games it makes polynomicron actually useful on many mages, such as he bo. Now he has a reason to basic attack for a lot of damage, and with his short cooldowns, weaving in auto attacks is important.

Well for gold skins, it is 3 skins. Because 1 for a spider, 1 for someone small, and 2 for adc's. well the small/adc overlap and you get Cupid.spider = Arachne, duh. And the other adc, well I hope it isn't Neith, becuase I have Xbalanque and artemis rank 1. Plus erez said it was 2-3 gold skins.

I'm pretty sure it'll be Artemis. HiRez love releasing Gold Skins for not-so-played gods.

Not necessarily. Could be 4, or it could be Arachne, Vamana/Ne Zha/Cupid, and an ADC. Remember adc is technically just a LoL term as we use physical power, not attack damage. In any case, attack damage carry can really just be anyone who scales well into late game with physical power, meaning any well-scaling bruiser or assassin could technically be an ADC.

Sadly, you're probably right, and while many are happy about arachne, I detest that Arachne and Cupid are getting gold skins, as both are considered less-than-favorable picks. But I guess it's one way to bring back picks to those gods, even if they're 'bad'. Still waiting on Ra, Neith, Thor, Fenrir, and Ne Zha golden skins. They're all very played gods that would benefit from it.

They have said it will be ranged ADCs, which further limit the possibilities!
It will be Arachne, Cupid and Art/Xballs/Neith...

Anyone know when the patch is expected? Thursday?

I think BORT will be doing the patch notes tonight/today(depending on country), and that we can expect the patch tomorrow(Wendsday).
