Hah, i felt compelled to mention Deadlock because of your Dota comments. Then i noticed your name.
I am sure I even remember that Valve once incorporated something from one of the fake patch notes in one of their patches, but now I cannot find it. It was something like +1 damage to something that already did a lot of damage.
Probably the Techies +25x damage talent? In 2017 [7.07] it was increased from +250 damage to +251 damage. Then in 2020 [7.28] it was increased again to +252 damage.
After some more looking around I found it, Puck's orb gained 1 movement speed in 6.87 [0] after the markov chain notes for the patch [1]. Though I think the techies one is a similar joke.

LLM's did a number on that unfortunately. Major subreddits banned all AI content, mostly due to the sheer infestation of really boring Midjourney content sent out by naive users and bots. Without reach, I lost interest, so no more Markov Chains.
