[#348|+200|74] Valve, almost none of the recent "bug fixes" fixed anything (ember getting stuck, ww wrong kill credits, etc) [/r/DotA2]

In the last couple of days, the game received various small patches. This patches occasionally included bug fixes to heroes (notably to Ember, the aghs bug and WW). But some of the bugs are still present despite being claimed as fixed in the patches.

So let's just get started. First patch with random fixes:


Dota 2 Update - February 24th 2015

  • "Fixed a rare bug with Ember Spirit getting stuck after using Fire Remnant"

This is not fixed like at all. It still happens like before. If you use Activate Remnant just as the remnant expires, you will get stuck. In some cases, you even get moved at the center of the map and end up stuck there.

  • "Fixed Ember Spirit sometimes becoming invisible after Sleight of Fist"

This one is fixed from the gameplay perspective. However, a visual bug remains. Though Ember no longer turns invis and unclickable, the firy image from the spell stays permanently still.


Dota 2 Update - February 27th 2015

  • "Fixed heroes with undroppable Aghanim's Scepter Upgrades being able to gain their upgrades from Scepters owned by other players (Meepo, Ogre Magi, and Treant Protector)"

At least this line is fully true. It was fixed for Meepo, Ogre Magi and Treant Protector. It was not fixed for Earth Spirit and Timbersaw.

  • "Fixed Duel and Supernova Aghanim's Scepter upgrade interaction"

This one is not fixed at all either. Your ally inside Supernova can still attack during a Duel.

And now yesterday's patch

Dota 2 Update - March 5th 2015

  • "Dropping an item onto another item on the ground now properly places it where clicked"

How I understood this one is, when you drag an item on another item on the ground, it should put the item on the ground, instead of giving a pointless "Can't target items" message". But that is not the case.

  • "Fixed a case where Winter's Curse didn't credit the kill properly"

Again, another thing which is not fixed at all. The only thing which happened here, the interaction got reversed.. Instead of Rubick being unable to get kills with Winter's Curse (always caused a deny), now Rubick can get kills with it properly, but Winter Wyvern can't anymore if Rubick has the spell stolen currently.

The second, unchanged kill credit issue with the spell is, when Rubick has the spell stolen currently, and he dies to Winter Wyvern's ulti casted on him, it still will count as a suicide, instead of a kill for WW. So this wasn't fixed at all either.

E: Looks like this fix was about denying allies affected by Venomous Gale/Shadow Strike/Doom while affected by Winter's Curse, not about the Rubick interactions, so disregard this part (although a fix for these would be welcome, too).


So in short, out of 10 claimed fixes in the few last update patches, only 4 are fully fixed, 2 are partly fixed and 4 are not fixed at all.
