#Chen-Roshan Bug

Bugs come and go. While there were a lot of bugs in DOTA2, some remain memorable for how broken or ridiculous they were. In patch 6.75 Chen’s abilities received a minor tweak. Holy Persuasion no longer had the ability to teleport friendly unit back to base. Instead Test of Faith granted a secondary ability to teleport allied units. In this process, something broke in the game. For some reason Holy Persuasion the ability to control creep was working on Roshan. Having Roshan as your ally from minute one in the game with his thousands of HP and abilities would be a bit strong? You’re absolutely right. The discovery spread in a flash and pretty soon pubs were terrified by Chen picks. Within hours of the bug discovery, Valve issued a Hotfix ending Chen’s reign of terror. Until today the bug remains the most hilarious and broken bug in the history of DOTA2.
