Dota 2 is one of the older yet still more popular games in the gaming landscape. It continuously improves year by year to give the best experience to its players. This year, just before 2021 ends, Valve has surprised gamers with an update on a famous game mode, a major rework of the hero Mirana, and the support for play with a controller.
Dota 2 2021 updates
The game developer has prepared the return of Continuum Vault, a game mode that is accessible to all that allows you to play up to four players in a dimensional maze. You can also choose 14 of the game’s heroes to work through it. However, the whole roster won’t be available because every hero comes with upgrade options and possible paths through Aghanim’s Blessings matrix. This is a strategy to gain permanent buffs and new heroes within this mode.
Much like Dota-meets-Diablo, the idea behind this concept is you’ll be having more power, getting further, discovering more bizarre abilities, and then starting over.
Some concerns, however, are being raised by community members regarding this update. They believe that certain parts may be locked behind the extremely high level of the battle pass. But Valve is already looking after this possibility.
Next up, Valve also made changes in Mirana, one of the multiplayer online battle area (MOBA) characters. The heroine will have new skills and unpublished lines of dialogue, something that joins the inclusion of cosmetics for the season pass.
Finally, the highlight of the new release is the addition of controller support. Dota 2 will now allow gamers to play with all controllers compatible with Steam Input. This means that players will now have the option to play MOBA with Xbox series or PS5 peripherals. However, this is still in the test phase since everything is just new.
In this beta, you can switch between the controller and the traditional keyboard/mouse in the middle of the game. Valve is open to feedback to help them improve on this experimental feature. Give them more time and this update will pave the way for a new and exciting game experience for their avid players.
