First Blood!






The Warcraft 3 veterans and LAN tournament lovers in general are treated to a great dose of nostalgia with the introduction of local play, a fitting update for the follow up of the game's release.

A new game mode is being introduced, this new mode favors the likes of Draft Mode and Captain's Mode players. Your pitted 5v5 in a Captain's Mode with a randomized pool of twenty-four heroes.

Messy inventories are now a thing of the past, with Improved Armory, you're now 95% more likely to not be pestered to dig through a labyrinth of junk and jewels.

The Valve Co. convenience store just got a shipping of brand new hats and shades featuring a whole Aperture Science HUD, Announcer, Mega-kills, and Ward pack.

And a First Blood on the comment too!

Still updating, so couldn't play atm. Really waiting for that Glados announcer pack, though unfortunately it's bundled in so i have to trade in myself.

Apart from that, nothing seems worth mentioning. New sets are nice but not high priority. Bugfixes, glad to hear. Armory remake, good. LAN, might be good here (SEA) but not for me, i always play online. Might use it from time to time though.

GlaDOS rocks. Tbh, I don't think LAN isn't going to be used that much within normal players, Captain's draft is just silly imo, and the treasure isn't exciting at all. Having an organized inventory is nice though.

Timbersaw less OP now :C Fountain hooks are gone, and that's pretty sad too.

Quoted:
The quality of the item drops you are eligible for is now tied to your Dota profile level. You can see your current drop level in your profile page


Quoted:
Alt-left clicking on an enemy icon in the top bar will send a chat message that the hero is missing


Quoted:
Item purchases can be made at the secret shop if the courier is at that location without selecting the courier


Quoted:
Upgraded Items can always be disassembled within 10 seconds of the combine (same rules as sell back)


Aside from GlaDOS, these are the best parts of the update for me. They make the game better. I'd have to disagree with this though:

Quoted:
Added profile privacy option to prevent viewing of Steam/DOTA profiles


Could this be their way of making a method to prevent people from noticing the not-so-perfect MM system?
