There are always levels to a Dota 2 <\/em>battle pass, both literally and metaphorically. <\/p>
Most of the time, the levels players actually care about involve how deep the content rabbit hole goes in regards to which Arcana, exclusive item sets, new features, and game modes are added as part of the battle pass. Content is king, and if it isn\u2019t there, a portion of the playerbase might just decide to skip purchasing even the base battle pass.\u00a0<\/p>
Valve runs a smooth operation when it comes to Dota 2\u2019s <\/em>battle pass; it works as both a machine to deliver content to normal players and a way for fans of the competitive scene to directly contribute to the game\u2019s biggest event of the year\u2014The International. Typically, 25 percent of each battle pass purchase is directly fed into the TI prize pool for that year, giving players another reason to at least get the Level 1 Bundle.\u00a0<\/p>
However, the 2022 battle pass is a new kind of beast, with Valve splitting it into two distinct parts, releasing it almost a full four months later than usual, and setting it to run well after The International concludes at the end of October. This is all part of a restructure that the developers mentioned earlier this year, but it hasn\u2019t left the community with best initial impression<\/a> for one reason or another.\u00a0<\/p>
