DotA 6.54b released*
6.54, dota
DotA Allstars 6.54 has been released by 
IceFrog, while 6.52e still remains as the stable map for competitive DotA.
6.54, while not introducing any new heroes, introduces many balance changes and a large amount of visual changes to the game.
Among the most important to current competitive play, Dragon Knight and Shadow Priest have been altered. With other hero changes, Clockwerk, introduced in 6.53, has has various tweakings to improve how the map is balanced. Invoker has also undergone a rather large change in how Invoke is used as well as the combinations of his 3 skills.
The changes to 
Shadow Priest:
++ Shadow Priest:
- Changed Shallow Grave completely. It is now a basic ability
- Changed how Weave works. It is now an ultimate
- Reduced Shadow Priest's cast point
- Shadow Wave can now bounce back to you at the last wave if you are in range. Also added an extra bounce at level 3 and 4
Changes to 
Dragon Knight:
- Changed Elder Dragon Form MS Bonus from 10/35/60 to a constant 25
*DotA 6.54b has been released, the only change is:
- 6.54b: Fixed an exploit with Borrowed Time.

New Dazzle is great! New shallow grave is awesome. You can use it more flexible than the old one + Weave is finally usefull!
I <3 new Dazzle. Great Job there Ice. Rework from Invoker is also well done! @ Shallow Grave: It works like this. As long as Shallow Grave affects a hero, this hero's life cannot decrease below 1. You can do what you want, you won't die! But Shallow Grave prevents no damage! Plus debuffs are still there when Grave ends. E.g. DoT attacks like geo-strike or burningspear can turn fatal, since they have a longer duration than 5 seconds. It is quite usefull though, 5 sec extralife are sometimes the key to win a close fight.
