Tonight Valve released the Dota 2 update. Many people were disappointed by it, because almost everyone is waiting for the promised and long-awaited patch 7.36, which should be released the other day. However, the added innovations can still fuel your interest in the game and help you wait for the global patch to be released. We've broken down all the released changes in our article, so if you haven't seen them yet, we suggest you check them out.

Dota Seasonal Update + 

There's been an update to the Dota + subscription, which has changed its style to Spring, and also added a collector's pack to the game, with over 8 sets per hero. Disruptor, Dark Willow, Spectre, Chaos Knight, Doom, Earth Spirit, Underlord, and Nyx Assassin have all gotten their sets. You also have a chance to knock out a very rare and expensive courier. Everyone can buy such chests in large quantities, because they are sold for shards, which every experienced player should have plenty of.

New rewards in the guild 

In guilds there are new tasks, for which you can get a large number of shards Dota +. They will be useful for opening the cases we described above. Also opened new awards and interesting phrases. For example, there added a popular Russian streamer and caster, under the nickname "NS".

Innovation "Dota Lab" 

This is a very interesting feature that will diversify your time in the game, as well as help you feel a part of it. This is where various experimental mechanics will be added, which should be tested by players and then added to the game based on their feedback. To enter the Lab you need to open "Settings" and then go to the necessary tab. Now available 3 innovations, which we offer to describe in a little more detail.

• As a test added a map on the full screen, which allows you to customize it for yourself, as well as more closely observe the actions of opponents. This way you won't miss any heroes on the map, and you can be very useful, especially on the sapport positions;
• More fine-tuned character control, which will allow you to assign hotkeys and avoid missing your ultimates on a creep instead of a hero. This will help you a lot on game play;
• A rework of the hero's health bar, which can make it easier for you to get into fights, and help you make better sense of what's going on.

Statement from Valve on combating DDOS

DDOS attacks have been plaguing many players for a long time. They can easily crash the game, a second before the throne is demolished, causing the game to not count and you don't get your well-deserved PTS. The developers said that they have long been familiar with the problem, and are already working on it, so in the upcoming global patch it may already be eliminated.
