The blink range penalty is actually mentioned if you press alt on it. Destroying the fountsin was also posible due to bugs in Dota 2. To add to the iceberg: *Arteezy cliff and WK Arcana reference to it. *Some heroes being banmed from buying blink on early days. *Heroes being able to walk off cliffs after being hooked at some point. *Arc Warden Voiceline referencing Wronchi's Dota 2 Reporter *Origin of Hero names and items. *Lots of Dota mechanics originated from exploits (denying, stacking, aggro, etc) *Blood pools on hero death.

The reason Crystal Maiden's Frostbite makes enemies unable to attack is because Frostbite not only roots, but *disarms* the target. Albeit not stated directly in the descrption of the skill, it is stated in the skill's flavour text. Hope this clarifies that specific root scenario! 😊😊

No, there were a few map versions where an Easter egg boss would spawn in the corner opposite to roshan, back then Roshan was in the corner like in the current map version. I think there was a Tauren or a marine or a Tauren marine (which in turn was a StarCraft Easter egg in WC3)

And now Venge can throw herself again. That, to me, is one of many hints that Icefrog still works on Dota 2, if only occasionally.

[@REGIMEPILLED]

the aghanim's lore is because it used to largely be a useless item on some heroes and only like half of them even had an agh's upgrade even though the item wasn't hero locked like basher used to be, you could "buy it for the stats" on some heroes when it had a different recipe that included mystic staff.

[@REGIMEPILLED]

the particle effects bug also used to take place with mostly dark seer, warlock and a few others after only like 70 minutes so it was semi-common in pro games for years

[@REGIMEPILLED]

scythe of vyse is also an old dev name, the full name just isn't in the game anymore it used to be called guinsoo's scythe of vyse, guinsoo was one of the dota 1 devs

[@panda007]

Invoker’s model is from Warcraft’s Kael’thas. Chinese romanization of “Kael” is Kah-Er, romanized back to English as Carl (listen to Sumiya talk about Carl). Zeus’ model was reworked too - became a buff boy. Dota 2 has family ties with League of Legends via Guinsoo, a designer of Dota 1. Sheepstick used to be called Guinsoo’s Scythe of Vyse, an upgrade of Eul’s. To follow Earthshaker’s Dota 1 lineage with his Arcana, Wraith King did the same as the Skeleton King (implied as Leoric). Spectre was a future self of Phantom Assassin. In Dota 1, Terror Blade and AntiMage were brothers, which used the same Warcraft character Illidan pre/post demonic corruption. Troll and Faceless Void equipped with basher and enough ias used to have permabash (no cooldown) - went thru BKB; insta-win! Right click Zeus was meta when Butterfly was first introduced. Eaglesong and Reaver referenced Diablo 2 items Eaglehorn and Messerschmidt’s Reaver. Buriza-do-kyanon (Japanese romanization of Blizzard Canon) of Diablo 2 fame, ended up as the Daedalus. Thx for the vid! Popped up so many ah-ha moments of my childhood memories!

[@jazzy4830]

Might be too late to see this, but just wanted to mention that one of the late game visual bugs was that if the game took long enough, character models would just stop appearing on the map and become extremely difficult to interact with. They were not mechanically invisible and you couldn't even see/click the highlighter circle to indicate where they were, making the game practically unplayable.

Kael's fun name Carl is not a D1 reference per se. It is a reference to the russian community misspelling Kael's name in one of the patchnotes. This went viral and IceFrog implemented the fun name "Carl" for Kael. *A fun name is a name with a low chance of replacing the actual name, like Moghul Khan > Moghul Khan't Touch This.

[@HeavenlyRestricted]

I believe the fundamental forces are acctually: enigma (gravity obviously); Kotl would be electromagnetism since light is electromagnetic radiation; CK would be the weak force because it is the force that split atoms apart and create chaotic chain reactions, and CK splits into several illusions; and IO would be the strong force, which is the force that bonds the nucleous of an atom together, like its link bonds it and an ally together.

[@Dotas1997]

Does somebody remebers in dota 1 when you jump with mirana you could at the same time fire the arrow backwards. It looks like firing the arrow from the tigers tail. Another big bug was casting morfs firts spell from a clif into roshan and getting stuck inside him, while being stuck roshan you could attack him but him could not attack you.

I remember a time when you could buy Aegis (x3) and it gave you 3 lives and 30 armor, if I recall correctly. When I would just occupy a piece of the map with old techies and noone would ever venture there for the entirety of the game (the 5 second AoE stun traps were busted beyond reason). When Bash abilities and items used to stack and had no cd (Troll just be looking at you while constantly bashed :), and Spectre's Disperse gave a chance to have a 100% deflect and return dmg. Still remember a certain Lion jumping on my no hp Spec, dispersed his stun, the autoattack and he killed himself with the finger :D Needless to say Alt+Q+Q followed with the speed of light. Can't blame the guy, tbh.

[@bugsyluzon1175]

Hope I remember it right but since Dota 1, it was implied that if you use Blink Dagger far above its cast range it would only take you to 2/3 of its range, unlike using BD precisely to its max range. Same goes with AM's and QoP's blink abilities. I forgot where I read it from but it's been like that since. It was a big QoL change to add an AoE circle for your cast range in Dota 2. Love the vid (especially the Techies iceberg)!

[@TacoMaster07]

Not trying to be overly pedantic but blink goes like 5/6ths max range when over cast the 1200 range. Qop blink can be cast past max range and will go the max 1300 range. The interaction with qop is that u can go slightly past the 1300 'max'. If u click just outside the area u can blink like 1350-1400 range, very slight gain. People will do the trick with blink dagger since 1000 vs 1200 cast range can mean a missed stun on centaur for example. On QoP no1 will do this trick as it is difficult with small gain(qop blink 6sec cd vs blink 18), whats interesting is that the qop trick can be used when Bloodseeker ruptures you. A normal blink of 1300 range will proc rupture damage, but a max blink of 1400 range wont trigger the threshold. Its why TPs and relocate dont trigger rupture. This is how it was at least, maybe its patched.

Great video and topic! Some things I think you may have missed that I thought might have appeared on the iceberg: - There used to be a fourth type of damage in Dota 2 that got removed, it was called composite damage I think, which dealt a mix of physical and magical damage. - Techies' minefield sign ability was originally a part of a set, but was then added to the default set after players complained that it could have been pay-to-win. The reasoning was that it was contributing to the psychological warfare of placing mines. - Invoker's Cataclysm upgrade was first featured in Siltbreaker, where it was one of the abilities of a boss you and your teammates fought. - There used to be a bug (or perhaps an interesting mechanical interaction) with Batrider's and Pangolier's ultimates, where a lassoed target would take massive damage in rapid succession from Pango's ultimate once they made contact. - Keeper of the Light's Will-O-Wisp actually has a name, it's called Ignis Fatuus.

I was there, back when dota had four heroes (Luci, Antimage, Prophet & lycan). Eul didn't invent it - Aeon of Six Gods invented the "lanes and heroes" gameplay. Eul and Icefrog give full credit to Aeon of Six Gods from Wc3. You're missing Infernal Machine & Pudge with Flies. Pitlord had the corpse exploding mechanic. Guinsu, the idiot who made League of Legends, was ousted from Dota map making because he gave Spirit Breaker a 10 second stun so people started making their own versions, with Icefrog's becoming the most downloaded/played. Thrall is Elder Titan. Monkey King was teased in Dota 1 before dota 2. Kunkka IS a ghost, he's literally called the Ghost Admiral and Kunkka is a real life person who did the art for the dota 1 loading screens (as well as a loading screen for dota 2.) Icefrog had a skybox at TI2016 (seattle) labeled Treehouse with no lights inside at all.

Do people really need an iceberg to learn that Crystal Maiden and Lina are sisters? I feel that that one should've been surface level at most, but it's not like that information is hidden anyway. I will say, of all the model reworks that characters had (at least up to the point where I stopped playing), the most memorable was my favorite character's, Venomancer. Most model reworks just gave the character more details or made them less similar to Blizzard characters, but I straight-up lost limbs and that will never not be funny to me. Sure, I wasn't using them, but they can't act like I wasn't going to notice :v Speaking of Venomancer, here's a bit of trivia for him - his lore page describes him as the master of the Jidi's Acid Jungles, but one of his voice lines says he was a "minor inconvenience" there. I was never sure how those two bits of information squared with each other.

[@alexwhiteman2628]

The forced 50% isn’t a conspiracy theory. Players within a given rank are labeled as either Earners or Non-earners. When on a win streak you are labeled as an earner, and are teamed with more non-earners. Every single match is not perfectly balanced with 5 earners on each team. At max, it is usually 2-3 earners per team so queue times are faster and ranks are evenly spread. This is why players in your same rank can be dog shit. Edit: This is how all skill based matchmaking systems work.

I like that you said "the planet Ru" as if that's the canon name of the Dota planet but it's actually the name of Slack's pet dog. Ru has passed away now it's nice he's been honored in such a way.

I thought "322" refers to the odd multiplier on a bet game where Solo bets to the other team because their odds is higher

"Root" is not inconsistent. "Root" is either based on Entangle or on Ensnare. See WC3 for reference.
