GAMEPLAY:

• Enabled Naga Siren in Captain's Mode.

• Undying: Fixed a case where early game zombies could sometimes get stuck with an earlier or invalid level of Deathlust into the late game.
• Fixed Diffusal Blade stopping Force Staff movement.
• Fixed Templar Assassin's Refraction and Pipe causing Blink Dagger to not get disabled.

SPECTATOR:

• The Director will now acknowledge all Ultimate usages not just the ones that damage, so you can no longer pretend that Echo Slam in the jungle by yourself didn't happen.
• Tweaks to Directed camera framing and movement.

UI:

• Added new stats dropdown feature when spectating!
• Sellback times no longer expire when moving items to the courier.
• Fixed item stocks not restoring correctly when multiple items are sold back within the sellback time.
• Added a message when a player destroys the Aegis.
• Added confirmation dialog before starting a Tournament game with one or more teams not specified.
• Added client-side console variables allowing spectators to locally disable certain announcer lines. Especially useful for broadcasters. The cvars are:Multiple players who have the same announcer equipped in the same game should now hear the same line being spoken.
  • cl_dota_speech_spec_towerattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_towerfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_barracksfalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_ancientattack, cl_dota_speech_spec_enemybasefalls, cl_dota_speech_spec_idles.
  • Set any of them to '0' to prevent that line from playing. (Broadcasters will almost always want to set cl_dota_speech_spec_idles 0 ).
• Multiple players who have the same announcer equipped in the same game should now hear the same line being spoken.
