NS proposed radically changing Roshan and Tormentor mechanics in Dota 2

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov said that Dota 2 could become more exciting if the spawn mechanics of Roshan and the Tormentor were changed, making them random, and also if the Aegis was replaced with a buff.

He talked about this during a stream on Twitch.

“First of all, I would probably make it so that Roshan and the Tormentor don’t spawn the same way every game, but randomly. Like Roshan either top or bottom and the Tormentor, accordingly, mirrored to Roshan. So there wouldn’t be a situation where at 20 minutes the Tormentor is always on one side”

According to him, randomizing boss spawns on the map would make matches more unpredictable. In addition NS suggests that the Aegis should become a full buff and not take an item slot, which would also give players more space for actions.

“I would make the Aegis a buff, so it doesn’t take a slot but is just like a buff on the hero. And I would remove the Refresher and make it so that the Refresher Shard drops already from the second Roshan, maybe even from the first. Basically I would just make it so there is no Refresher, but the shard drops from all Roshans, possibly. That way I would seriously increase the value of Roshan himself”

He also believes that Roshan’s drops should be adjusted to make them more valuable, and that Roshan Banner needs some work too. According to the streamer, the item is interesting but still feels unfinished.

There is also information that Valve allegedly will add a new boss and radically change one of the Dota 2 modes in one of the global updates.
