I'm going to say we'll get an announcement for two new heroes just like last year, but this time we'll have a much larger gap between actually getting to play them. Valve said they wanted to spend more time making new heroes, but they've been busy with Artifact and also doing jack poo poo so they're probably not anywhere close to ready but want to announce it anyways so they can build up "hype" as the kids would call it

I love how the newer the hero the more complicated their spells are. Old heros have a silence, a stun, and a nuke, and maybe an aura. Dark Willow and Pango have VECTOR AIMED SPELL with a change to break armor and crit along with an AoE fear based nuke three spell combo. It's really too much.

Do we get a new hero at Ti8?

It's a good thing that new Dota 2 heros are more complex and interesting than what you could make in Defense of the Ancients Allstars, the Warcraft 3L The Frozen Throne custom game mod. Get with the times grandpa!

the genius of the design of older heroes was how well they worked with such simple individual abilities.

it's funny how league of legends was so poorly coded they pretty much had to do the same tricks dota had to for some spells to work (a lot of spells in lol use/used invisible creeps and poo poo).

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/4ozmoc/things_coded_as_minions/

it led to weird things happening where using certain aoe abilities could "kill" weird things coded as creeps and give the player a number of last hits gold included.
