This Thursday's Dota 2 patch brings Huskar, Batrider, and Jakiro to the battlefield! In addition, a new commendation feature has been added as well to rate those you come across in your testing.
With the addition of these three fiery heroes to the hero pool, Dota 2 is warming up, a nice balance to the icy torment unleashed by the likes of Crystal Maiden, Lich, and Ancient Apparition. However, the cold does receive the sympathy of one of Jakiro's two heads, so the ranks of icy heroes should not be too pessimistic!
Additionally, a commendation system was also implemented today, which allows you to commend players who were helpful or made your game more enjoyable, and report those being hostile or trying to impede progress. Since this a new feature, make sure to leave plenty of feedback so it can reach its greatest potential. Some general spectator changes were made as well, so be sure to check out
blog.dota2.com for all the spicy details.
Finally, as noted on the official blog, "As usual, there’s a variety of other gameplay additions and fixes, and some improvements to the practice bots." So, feel free to hop into the action right away and unleash flaming terror on all those who block your path!
