Spring cleaning.
In this update, we fixed a lot of bugs and improved many aspects of the game. Separately, we have highlighted some of the biggest innovations, for example, an updated profile and new tips about the changes of the hero, and a detailed list of fixes and improvements you will find below.
What have we changed?
New profile design.
We have created a new design for the player profile, while taking into account the requests of users, and adding several new features. See your performance in the latest games, flash your favorite characters in your favorite accessories and make your profile truly unique by setting it any background from the available loading screens.
Change notification.
Dota 2 is constantly evolving, and it is not easy to remember all the innovations. Now you will know which characters have changed by looking at their portraits from above in the selection stage. Hover your mouse over the icon to see all the changes from your last visit. In addition, now in the “knowledge Base” tab there is a section with a full list of balance edits. Also, the latest changes can be viewed directly during the game by hovering the mouse over the desired ability or item.
Training on finishing creeps.
Do you want to get the most out of creeps and raise your gold per minute to unprecedented heights? The new mode available in the “knowledge Base” tab will help you. Hone such an important skill anytime — even while searching for a game.
Improved message about redemption.
More prominent ransom messages will help keep your finger on the pulse of the battle. Hold down the Alt key to see recent buybacks under the top bar, even if the alert has already disappeared. And ransom messages on the kill list now don’t disappear for 45 seconds.
Broadcast majors and majors.
The competition season is getting closer and closer to its climax — The International-so tournament broadcasts should be easily accessible. Now you will see in the main menu a special section when live show minor or major. Just one tap and the stream will open right in your browser.
Transfer items before the game.
The time before the battle horn is very important for early exploration. So save valuable moments, taking care of everything before the game: now wards and Tango can be transferred already at the planning stage.
Willingness teleports the team.
Do you want to know if the allies are ready for immediate maneuvers? Press Alt, and you will see from above, under each portrait of the hero, recharge his teleport from Town Portal Scroll or Boots of Travel.
Six-month game lockdown.
With this update, we introduce a system that automatically blocks for 6 months those players who very often behave inappropriately (deliberately succumb, leave the game, insult others, and so on).
Selection of matches by language.
The fortress easier to destroy, if we act together. To make it easier to communicate with teammates, the game selection system began to take into account the chosen language much more.
The place of delivery of objects.
A good ally will always make sure that all purchases find their owners. New icons on the courier panel show whose items he is carrying, so now it is much easier to be a good ally.
The new design of the game room.
We have updated the design of the “game Library” tab to make it easier to find a company for custom games. View open matches from around the world or use the recent lobby list from nearby regions to join the server with a small delay.
Locks in the game room.
Now, developers of custom games can include a punishment system in them. Players who do not accept or leave such a game will receive a temporary ban on the selection of games in the game library.
Dedicated servers in the game library.
To make all custom games more stable, we have enabled dedicated servers for them by default.
Neutral creeps power icons.
In the forest live all sorts of creeps, and some heroes it is important to know who is where. To help them, we’ve mapped the forces of neutral creeps in each camp on a mini-map.
Readiness check.
Want to know if your band is ready? Are you afraid that not everyone will accept the game? Just select “Check readiness” in the chat window so everyone can respond.
Filter inactive friends.
It can be difficult to recruit a group of fighters, especially when you do not remember which of them is ready for battle. The new filter will hide from your friends list those that have not played for a long time, so you will surely understand who can be called into battle.
Teleport the player’s colors.
We have added the effects of teleportation of the hero: now, in addition to his model, you will see a ring, the color of which corresponds to the color of the player on the top panel.
Visible damage to the towers.
When you smash the enemy’s towers one by one-or watch from afar as the enemy besieges yours-their appearance will get worse until the building collapses completely.
