Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Now that you’ve got some practice against Riki, you’re ready to carry a gem against Broodmother. Who better to carry it than Skeleton King? And if you have a King, you need to have a Queen. We’ve also added the ability to Pause the game. Each player can currently pause the game 3 times, and as always we’ll iterate over the ruleset as you guys test the feature and get us feedback. With ESWC coming up on Sunday, we’ve kept most other changes in the game to a minimum…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Today’s update adds everyone’s favorite invisible hero, Riki. That sound you hear is everyone scrabbling to find the shop’s hotkey combo for buying Gems of True Sight. Among a host of other additions, the practice bots will also buy the courier now. Lately we’ve been enjoying Dota Cinema’s series of 2 minute hero introductions. Neat stuff if you haven’t had a chance to see all of Dota 2′s current heroes yet. If you’ve seen all those, and still want more, check out…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Dota is a game where it sometimes look like it’s impossible for your team to turn the match around, but the large number of variables in the game can often lead to cases where a team in that position still manages to win. If you talk to anyone who’s played a fair chunk of Dota, you’ll find they still remember that recent game where they thought the game was over, but they turned it around and staged an epic win. One of the biggest challenges of improving Dota’s ex…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" First things first, today’s update introduces Bloodseeker and Kunkka. Have fun! This update also enables the practice bots. While they’re still a work in progress, they’re a great low-pressure tool for trying out new heroes and item builds. While practicing with them, note that you can ping the minimap to send commands to your allied bots – ping an enemy tower to tell them to push a lane, an enemy hero to ask for assistance in a gank, and so on. At the moment they…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" One thing we’ve received a lot of feedback on is the Dota 2 spectator system. We thought it might be interesting to talk a bit about the thinking that led us to the current system, in the hopes that it might help you understand what we’re trying to do, so that you can help us improve upon it. We think that spectating games, both live and saved replays, is an important part of the Dota experience. At a high level, we felt there were two important ways that players …

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" Those folks who are already playing Dota 2 know that we update the game every Thursday. We thought we’d start posting here each time to highlight neat additions in the weekly update. Today’s update is undoubtedly the most important update we’ll ever ship, because it adds Juggernaut. It could contain absolutely nothing else, and it’d still be the greatest update, but it also contains various fixes and additional features. In particular, we’re still improving the ma…

Nachricht von "blog.dota2.com" We’ve been a bit quiet lately. As always, we learn a lot whenever we put something out and get feedback from you all. Showing Dota 2 to the world at The International gave us a lot of feedback to chew through, and the many recent forum threads talking about the information leaking out of the beta has added to the pile. After a bunch of thinking, we’ve decided to change our plans a little. Our original plan was to spend the next year or so in beta, adding new featu…
