Valve Responds to Leaked DOTA 2 Patch 6.86 Notes With A Teaser Showing Doom, Death Prophet Faceless Void, Lone Druid and Riki

Amidst swirling rumors that DOTA 2 Patch 6.86 notes has been leaked, Valve has released a teaser for the upcoming patch that is said to bring big changes in the history of "DOTA 2"

Since the alleged leaked "DOTA 2" Patch 6.86 notes emerged there have been reports suggesting that the said patch will bring changes to the Radiant jungle and to heroes CM, Mirana, Tusk and Windranger. With the fact that Game Designer IceFrog has mentioned. There are also other reports that the change will include an increase in the sale value of cheese from 500 to 1000, Dust of Appearance to deal 25 magic damage, Roshan's respawn interval to increase from 8-11 minutes to 9-15.

In a previous report, former patch analyst now manager for Team Secret Matthew "Cyborgmatt" Bailey slams those reports by calling the leaked patch notes a fake and "fan-made." Many fans reacted by expressing their own views on Cyborgmatt's Twitter post.

And just today, Developer Valve releases a teaser on its official DOTA 2 website. The image features a shadowy rendition of DOTA 2 heroes Doom, Death Prophet, Faceless Void, Lone Druid and Riki hidden in smoke, with a big 6.86 in the background. The teaser could suggest that that Patch 6.86 might not be aimed at CM, Mirana, Tusk and Windranger but rather a sign that Doom, Death Prophet, Faceless Void, Lone Druid and Riki will be the top gainers in the biggest update.

The image then sparks another rumor. The with Lone Druid possibly getting buffed in Patch 6.86, could this be the patch that DOTA 2 Game Designer IceFrog is rumored to have promised Swedish DOTA 2 Team Alliance player Henrik "Admiral Bulldog" Ahnberg, whose signature hero includes Lone Druid? But that is another story.

For now, DOTA 2 fans can assume that the leaked patch notes could be fake after all and rather stay tuned for more teasers from Valve.
