The aesthetic is consistent through the pants and boots, too, maintaining allegiance to Garen's appearance as seen in League of Legends . The decision pays off, as the overall effect is a Garen that looks like he walked right out of a match on Summoner's Rift and into the living r

The biggest change in the newcomer update for Dota 2 is the revamped tutorial . Valve implemented a quest-like system of objectives that allows beginners to explore the game in a controlled, scripted environment. Featuring tiers of progression, it introduces players to the client and basic game mechanics with rewards upon completion. Alongside this new tutorial is a glossary to help players fill in any gaps along the way. The coaching system from previous battle passes have also made a return as players can request to have coaches join them in their games for extra h

Sometimes you get to pull it off but most of the time, the tower ends up killing you. This is also a known tactic to bait eager players into being overconfident. It results in a rather embarrassing death that only serves to fuel the enemy's gold depos

His boar can slow down any target and his hawk can be used as a valuable spy, granting the team a significant strategic advantage especially for ganking. In this regard, the Beastmaster can easily hunt down some solo heroes too and profit from their lonesome situat

In DOTA 2, each and every trip back to the fountain or base is a considerable help or hindrance to the pushing effort. That's because the amount of time it takes to return to the fountain for healing should have been better spent farming some creeps or dealing attrition damage to towers or even clash

These new changes represent an exciting step forward for competitive games in general. While the competitive nature of the eSports scenes are what draw people towards these games, they are often inaccessible for newcomers. With Valve taking a big step forward in addressing these concerns, this hopefully means that its other games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will follow suit . Its stance on smurfing should also serve as an example for other competitive games as well. Games like League of Legends and Overwatch have had smurfing problems for years but since their developers rarely crack down on it, they turn off many potential newcomers. As Valve continues to improve its matchmaking systems, other games should take note of how Dota 2 has begun catering to a new audie

With The International 2020 being cancelled as well as the future of the tournament left uncertain, Valve decided to work with Netflix to create a new animated show titled Dota: Dragon's Blood to hopefully attract new players to Dota 2. Together with the show, Valve also decided to release a massive update for Dota 2 that overhauled the new player experience. Introducing a number of diverse tools and resources, Valve hopes that new players are provided gradual learning opportunities instead of a single dump of complex informat

Valve also finally addressed the smurfing problem in Dota 2 by officially making it a bannable offense . Players who are found to be selling accounts or boosting ranks can have their main accounts banned as well. Suspected smurf accounts will also be paired with other smurf accounts in order to stop them from ruining the experience of newer players. While Valve has previously attempted to mitigate this issue by detecting smurf accounts and adjusting to their correct rank, there were still issues where players would smurf with the sole intention of beating lower skilled players. With Valve finally putting its foot down on smurfing, this should mean that newcomers will be able to play against other players of their skill le
