After completing major-ESL One Hamburg 2017, where the CIS team Virtus.Pro won, the Valve Corporation, which develops and supports the popular game of millions of DOTA 2, presented a huge and long awaited update to 7.07: The Dueling Fates. The game almost did not upgrade (in terms of balance and innovation) in may, and many are simply tired of waiting.
A new patch to the game introduced two new characters: Pangolier and Dark Willow, who will become duelists to Laura (legend). In addition, reworked the balance of heroes and items — read all changes can take more than one hour.
Especially it should be noted that the company has finally listened to the opinions of experienced players (mostly professionals) and implemented seasonal ratings system for games (MMR), which has long been present in other popular games. For each season the player will be awarded a medal for his achievements this season. The game will have seven different medals within each of five stages of progress leading to higher “rank”. At the beginning of each season players will be offered to “calibrate” your rating. Also the updated system of guides and tutorials designed to aid beginners.
New mode Turbo Mode is the same mode, and All Pick, but with the rapid obtaining gold and experience. Thus, in this game mode will be faster. Also redrawn some of the characters.
Note that the main changes will certainly affect the balance and a new system of rating games with the imperfection which is related to the outflow of regular players.
Full list of updates can be found on the official website of the game.
