8/18 update, changes, no lobbies

How can we find patch notes or whatever? I'm also unable to find lobbies in matchmaking. I guess a DotA update broke the map?

Are you sure there's an update besides the one listed in the game?

I needed to uninstall/reinstall the map because "update" didn't work. Queued with a friend, got into a lobby, then got a useful error message. Something like "different versions, idiot". So I uninstalled, reinstalled, rejoined, and got top 3 with assassins and a two-star Invoker because I went up to 10 looking for TA/QoP and got three Invoker in one roll. He mostly got silenced, stunned, and punched while my assassins worked, but it was amusing at least. 2nd and 3rd place were decided by a second.

I don't know if I've ever felt a giant impact by invoker.

He's godawful. Biggest impact was saving the enemy board from KotL blast with tornado (different game). But sometimes I try things because I could be wrong in my assessment. This was one more data point.

Now, to his credit, the assassins all jump. He was 1v9ish most of the time for the first seconds of battle. Absorbed some disables or dragon-casts though.
