2.0.26 Patch Notes - Ninja patch

Version 2.0.26
-------------
- Fixed shop stock decreasing even if you had a full inventory when trying to buy a limited quanity item

* This was most prevalent when a full health creep was standing to the left of a low health creep. The full health creep's health bar would end up occulding the health bar of the low hp creep, making it much harder to last hit/deny

== Heroes ==

- Added a new Agility hero: Silhouette

- Introducing a Limited Edition Alt Avatar: Bunny Predator (available for one week only!)
- Added a new Premium Alt Avatar: Wretched Hottie
- Added a new Alt Avatar: White Lotus Silhouette

Tuesday, April 19, 2011

First look: Silhouette

Role: Silhouette is a ranged Agility hero based around quick, unpredictable movements and attacks. She’s definitely got carry potential, but also houses an array of early game action tools to let her get in the fray early on. Silhouette has the arsenal of any self-respecting ninja: she owns a vast collection of shiny throwing projectiles, and always has her trusty grappling hook with her. Ninjas are tricky, and Silhouette is no exception; even her Shadow is a weapon.
