Fan-made Dota 2 Mobile received a major update — 13 heroes, ranked matches, and an item market added

Enthusiasts continue to develop the mobile version of Dota 2.

The creators of Dota 2 Mobile have released update 1.4 for Android and iOS. Players can now assemble teams of up to five people, create private lobbies with bots, and participate in ranked matches in All Pick and “one-on-one” modes. At the same time, the roster of available characters was expanded with 13 heroes, including Sven, Ursa, Dazzle, and Necrophos.

Apparently, the fan-made project is gaining popularity: the developers even launched three new servers in Moscow. In addition, an in-game marketplace has been introduced, where users can sell cosmetic items to each other for coins earned in matches. And for those who want to expand their skin collection, the premium store's assortment has been expanded with new chests.

However, monetization remains one of the most controversial aspects of Dota 2 Mobile. Ever since version 1.0 was released, some players feared that the developers’ attempts to make money off an unofficial Dota 2 would attract Valve’s attention and put the future of the project at risk. So far, the company has not reacted to the mobile version's existence in any way.
