Element TD got dedicated servers support.

That was really fast.

Usually it takes at least one week for a custom to get dedis by Valve, this time it took less than 24 hours.

Unbearable?

If you were subscribed to dotacinema you would see that they did a "lets play" of elementTD that as of now was uploaded 17 hours ago, does that make it less surprising?

SPRING CLEANING UPDATE 2016

• Added New Hero: Ikir
• Abilities:
  • FRONTSTAB - Once Ikir punches someone in the face, nothing will happen, based on his current agility.
  • PERMANENT VISIBILITY - Ikir will always be visible and turns invisible only when attacking. Has a 9 second fade time. While visible, Ikir will gain 50/80/90/120 % health regeneration.
  • PING STRIKE - Causes Ikir to continuously ping his target on the minimap until they give up and ragequit from the game. Goes through spell immunity and deals Pure damage to the player's nerves.
  • SIR IT'S ME UR BROTHER - Opens a TRADE with his target, automatically offering all of his victim's arcanas and/or immortals and nothing in return. Then he will spam bad scam messages to the trade window. The trade cannot be closed for 15/30/60 minutes. If the player does not have any arcanas or immortals, it will instantly DDoS them.
• All of Invoker's spells now go through Spell Immunity and deal Pure damage.
• Picking Pudge or Invoker now results in a VAC ban.
• Pinging on the map more than 4 times in a row now results in a VAC ban.
• Picking Riki 1st in a ranked game now results in a VAC ban.
• Players that don't pick until the timer runs out in a ranked game will no longer lose gold over time. They will automatically random Io and start with 322 gold. The second player who fails to pick gets Invoker, the 3rd one gets Pudge. The rest of the non-pickers will always deal negative damage, healing their enemies. The match cannot be left, Alt+F4 is disabled and the computer will run without power or internet. The opposing team has to win. After the torture every non-picker will get a VAC ban anyways.
• When a player misses a stun or a skillshot, the camera will automatically move there for everyone to see. The ping limit is disabled for 10 seconds.
• Using a language other than English on EU servers will now result in a VAC ban. After the VAC ban, a free English language course advertisement will pop up each time the player opens any VAC protected game.
• Lifestealers who spend more than 3 minutes in an Ancient creep will now be considered as AFK and will abandon the game.
• Everyone who uses the Gifts of the Shadowcat Set for Drow Ranger, the Dame de Carreau, Dark Wraith or the Dragonterror sets for Phantom Assassin in-game will now be granted a VAC ban.

OMG this is so fucking frustrating. 90% of the games is either incredibly hard or incredibly easy. Either win or loss, but that will turn out within 15-20 minutes. It's so rare when we get an actually exciting and close game.

invo got nerfed

6.86f:
Deafening Blast's knockback is no longer a hard disable (affected units can cast abilities and items)
Deafening Blast's disarm portion rebalanced to keep same overall effectiveness as before (it previously applied disarm only after the knockback disable, numbers rescaled to keep same overall duration where they cannot attack)
