March 2019 Update: New Features and Balance Changes

11.03.2019 - Custom Games API

• Added GetDedicatedServerKeyV2, which utilizes a new approach for securing/generating the keys. Any custom game that relies on GetDedicatedServerKey to communicate with its backend will want to switch to the V2 version as soon as possible.
• To give custom game authors time to switch, GetDedicatedServerKey will remain unchanged until 3/31/2019, after which it will be automatically switched to V2.
• When playing on local/unofficial servers, GetDedicatedServerKeyV2 will return special values to make the state more clear for developers (e.g. "Invalid_NotOnDedicatedServer").

05.03.2019 - Ability Draft

• Added previously unavailable heroes to Ability Draft: Beastmaster (Hawk is not draftable), Lone Druid, Io, Monkey King (Primal Spring is not draftable), Shadowfiend (Shadowraze Medium and Presence of the Darklord are not draftable), Techies (Minefield Sign is not draftable), Meepo (Divided We Stand is not draftable), Rubick (Spellsteal is not draftable).
• Will-o-Wisp and Tag Team are now draftable in Ability Draft.
