Official Valve blogs often signal the arrival of new gameplay patches in\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>, but that hasn’t been the case for a while now, and Valve has today continued the baiting spree with its latest blog post about a community vote for skins.<\/p>
While the update may not feature any gameplay changes, it marked the first-ever feature carried over to the full game from\u00a0Dota\u00a0<\/a><\/em>Labs<\/a>: High-visibility hero HP bars. However, fans who saw the patch’s size before reading the blog post got their hopes up again, resulting in fan comments such as “Hurray, one GB patch\u2026 For nothing.”<\/p>

Unlike previous\u00a0Dota 2<\/a><\/em>\u00a0blog posts this year, this one was straight to the point, but even that couldn’t save it from the wrath of players who have been longing for gameplay change for the last seven months. “It’s a shame there isn’t even a mention of when the next gameplay update might come,” one fan said, but there were still some bright sides to the patch.<\/p>
At the time of writing, Valve still hasn’t revealed when it\u00a0will\u00a0ship a gameplay update for\u00a0Dota 2<\/em>.\u00a0The full Crownfall event schedule<\/a>\u00a0hints at patches that will go live on May 14, June 11, and July 9, but the Dota 2<\/em> developer\u00a0is famously no stranger to\u00a0losing track of time or delivering\u00a0anything\u00a0but balance changes in a new patch.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
