A critical bug with the use of illusions has been found in Dota 2

On such heroes as Warlock, Phantom Lancer and Meepo in Dota 2 began to work in-game vulnerability that allows you to quickly tilt the level of the hero. By manipulating Warlock to control Phantom Lancer, the player can get additional Black Grimoire and sell it for gold. A similar principle works on Meepo with the Manta Style item.

The relevant information was posted by a Reddit user under the nickname Rodod053.

"The Phantom Lancer went offline and Warlock started controlling it. Every time one of the illusions died, the Black Grimoire book would appear. It was an intentional disable, and they were actively exploiting this bug."

This comment was written with the ID of the match where a member of the Dota 2 community discovered such manipulation.

It is worth noting that on the night of June 25, the developers released a new patch for Dota 2, 7.36c, in which the developers improved the balancing of the game meta after the introduction of new mechanics in the last major update.

Recall that earlier Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov named meta heroes for MMR set after the release of the new update.
