Dota X2 is fucking hilarious. I couldn't get into Random OMG mode though.
Nukers like QoP, KotL, and Timbersaw are permanently banned. It's a bit hard to understand why Timbersaw is banned until you realize his Timber Chain range is doubled. Comes out of nowhere and two-shots you since his nukes are obscene early (at level 2 with 1 2 1 he does 390 pure damage almost instantly-- in normal dota. that turns into 780 pure damage in dota x2) and then both the stack amount and the stack values from Reactive Armor are doubled so he gets 64 armor and recovers 64 hp/s if he gets full stacks.
Oh, and Pugna is a bit wacky too but he's not banned. Ward makes someone like Troll Warlord's mana regen be about -10/second. And his Nether Blasts chunk towers for about a quarter of their health and heroes for about a third of their health.
Best game mode ever.
