Gameplay Adjustments and Hero Balancing

Official Post

Dota Plus

  • Added a new Summer Terrain.
  • Added a new Plus in-game prediction charm, granting increasing amounts of shards for correct predictions in a row (10/20/30/40/50 for 1/2/3/4/5x, 50 for subsequent).
  • Added a new feature to let Plus members spectate their friends' games live, seeing only what their friend's team can see. You can join in any time the game is ongoing.
  • Added dozens of new Hero Quests.
  • Playing Turbo games now grants half the normal hero xp for wins/losses, rather than none.
  • Added a new global Hero Trends page.
  • You can now purchase some Tools for shards in the Plus Rewards store.
  • Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause Plus guides to get stuck and not work.
  • Improved the item/ability/lane suggestions; Plus item suggestions now default to the first suggestion with a button to examine alternatives. Suggested items already purchased are now greyed out. The full popular items list is now shown even when you have a specific sequence selected.
  • Added the Plus Hero Badge to the Post Game screen. The Profile screen now shows your Plus Hero Badge and Relics.

General Changes

  • Ranked Roles: added a new type of report that can be used during the picking phase for players that don't adhere to the selection they queued for. Does not consume normal reports.
  • Trivia: added a button that lets you disable playing trivia sounds automatically.
  • Turbo: added an ability that lets you toggle the courier's auto-deliver behavior. Couriers will deliver gems and other shareable items picked up from your teammates.
  • Ctrl-alt clicking HP bars now correctly messages raw HP/Mana values of the target to the rest of your team.
  • Fixed a variety of consistency issues with alt-click modifier messages not being worded from the point of view of the person sending them.
  • Fixed a bug that caused AFK abandons to be assessed earlier than intended in cases where the player was AFK during the pick phase and was forced to a random hero.
  • Monkey King's Disguise now uses the correct bounty rune model for 5-minute runes.
  • Minimap icons for Viper and Slardar have been updated to their remodeled version. Enabled custom minimap icons for Primal Split Brewlings. Added a custom minimap icon for Arc Warden's Tempest Double.
  • Refresher cast sound effect is now audible to nearby teammates and enemies.
  • Custom Games: fixed the lobby list connection sort not working correctly. Added multiple addoninfo.txt settings (HeroGuidesSupported defaults to true; ShouldForceDefaultGuide) and several new Lua API functions (SetUseDefaultDOTARuneSpawnLogic, SetPowerRuneSpawnInterval, SetBountyRuneSpawnInterval, GetBaseAttackRange, GetStatusResistance, GetEvasion, GetSpellAmplification).
