The Dota 2 6.86 Update Just Dropped and So Did Our Collective Jaws
The Dota 2 6.86 patch notes were released earlier today and as promised the changes look like they will change the face of Dota 2 forever.
The massive patch comes with a new hero release (Arc Warden, one of the few remaining DotA heroes yet to be ported to Dota 2), a comic, a sexy new Zeus Arcana, new runes, new items, changes to the map layout and a laundry list of tweaks on existing heroes, as well as full reworks of four other heroes.

The patch also comes with optimizations to the Dota 2 Reborn client, featuring all new player statistics tracking for eSports analysts and hardcore players as well as private chat channels and other social features.

The patch is set to go live on Dota 2 Reborn some time this week, changing the metagame completely as the changes are more than just surface level polishing.
While the community is ecstatic about the changes, the competitive scene had a more mixed reaction as the patch will coincide with the WCA 2015 tournament in China, on the 17th.
