DotA 6.78 Map Download and Changelogs [Official]

DotA 6.78
The long awaited DotA 6.78 is now officially unleashed by the developer IceFrog. The v6.78 adds 2 new heroes, Oracle and Earth Spirit to the Sentinel pool and brings tons of balance/nerfs to heroes such as Phantom Lancer, Lone Druid and Necrolyte. Aghanim Scepter is now supported by 3 more heroes. Also, Items and gameplay mechanics are significantly changed.
This map has some really interesting changes which will change a lot of strategies during the game. Anyway, download the map below and do read its changelog before you play.

Download the map file (with .w3x extension) and place it in (Warcraft III\Maps\Download) directory. You must have Warcraft 3 TFT v1.24e or above to play this map.

DotA 6.78 Map Changelogs:
Here's the complete list of DotA 6.78 Changelogs. They are kept in a different page due to their length.
Thanks to IceFrog and beta team for releasing this map earlier than expected. You may find some bugs/glitches in this release so don't worry, there will be sub-versions for e.g. DotA 6.78b/c/d which will fix all the issues. Also, DotA 6.78 AI will take some time to release. So be patient!

    Necrolyte ultimate is unfair, it shouldn't disable buyback option. I see Necrolyte mass picked every tournament game..

    Instead of balancing Icefrog ruined the meta game. Some heroes remain overpowered while others received nerf hammer. See Lion for example. Ridiculous patch. I don't know what valvefrog are trying to accomplish here. I'm afraid Dota will soon become another HoN due to these unnecessary changes. Please revert back

    "Aghanim's Doom duration doesn't count down while the target is within 550 range of Doombringer"

    Worst map ever

    People seem to be underestimating the Reaper's Scythe buff. Not the buyback one, but the one where all kills under the stun are credited to Necrolyte. That turns a "PLEASE DON'T STEAL THE KILL" crapshoot into a guaranteed 10 stacks of Sadism. That's HUGE.

    Is it just me or was Puck massively buffed? No real nerfs to speak of, and euls, blink, talisman and force were buffed a lot. Bottle crow need is arguably a slight nerf to current Puck playstyle, but should in general be a buff in the long term.
    Apart from that, it's curious how both DK and Kunkka who are both staple picks already got buffed.

  56. Make a map balanced, based on 1 vs 1, so that each player with your favorite hero can have a chance against the opponent's hero. Today is impoosível win playing with Snipper vs Barathrum. It's bad player loses the game early on, the wrong choice of hero. The cool would lose the game if your opponent makes the best items for your hero. Can you understand?
