Recently, Dota 2 fans have been actively posting negative reviews on Steam. As a result, recent reviews are now "mixed."
Some of these reviews are accompanied by the hashtag #MDGA (Make Dota Great Again / Make Dota 2 Great Again). Dissatisfied users are tired of the "shameless treatment" of their favorite game and "repetitive updates" that don't really change anything.
It so happened that Valve soon released update 7.41 for Dota 2.
The developers made changes to the map landscape, mechanics, and balance:
- Aspects removed from the game
- Innate abilities no longer depend on the level of other abilities
- All innate abilities that previously improved with other abilities now either provide immutable bonuses or improve with the hero's level
- The appearance time of the first additional catapult has been reduced from 35:00 to 30:00
- Changed the location of the first Tormentor spawn
- Tormentor Rifts moved closer to the Lotus Pools
- Areas with the Tormentor are now one level lower relative to the level of the line
- Lotus Pools slightly shifted towards the towers on the hard line
- Fixed a bug that caused ward models to be replaced by an error model in certain cases.
- When a hero applies a consumable to an ally or transfers a consumable to an ally within a radius of 1200 (e.g., Tango), a corresponding indicator is displayed above both heroes.
- Components in item recipes are ordered from most expensive to least expensive to make quick buying more predictable (excluding boots, Blink Dagger, and several other items).
- An option has been added to the settings to hold down the hero selection button to see their current field of view, taking into account the fog of war.
- Now, if the hero's inventory is full and the neutral item slot is occupied by an innate item (e.g., from the Gris-Gris ability of Witch Doctor), you will not be able to create a new neutral item; previously, the innate item was consumed.
