Instead, Dota 2\u2019s summer client update is filled with quality-of-life updates that are aimed to improve the overall gaming experience. Most of these changes were aimed toward the reporting system, ultimately bettering the ranked matches in Dota 2. Considering how Dota 2 players have wanted Valve to improve the reports, either through Overwatch or new methods, all changes were welcomed with open hearts. With a more active and refined reporting system, match qualities are expected to increase, and players also got an improved armory system alongside a new cache to open in the summer client update. Player behavior changes Personalized matchmaking experience in Dota 2 After finishing a Dota 2 match, players will have an option to like or dislike their teammates. While giving a commendation to a player will increase their odds of getting into the same match as you, disliking them will have the opposite effect. A disliked player can still find themselves in your match, but the odds will be lower. A new reporting system The reporting system was reworked again to feature more options. Players will be able to report others for Toxic Chat, Toxic Voice, Smurfing, Griefing, Cheating and Role Abuse without getting limited by their available reports. Related: Dota 2 summer patch implements massive reporting system, armory, and visual changes The new reporting system will be accessible both during and after the game, even allowing players to report toxicity on both teams. Report feedbacks Players will now receive more detailed feedback for their reports\u2019 results. Instead of an \u201caction taken\u201d message without any details, fans can now see who they reported and when they did. Real-time toxicity detector and behavior scores When someone gets reported for toxicity in chat, the logs will start getting analyzed in real-time. If the algorithm finds the reported player toxic immediately, they will receive a global mute for the remainder of their match. Additionally, players will now have a communication score which will be separate from their behavior score. The upper limit for both behavior and communication scores were increased to 12,000, and communication score will also decide on which communicative features that players will have access to during a match. Map rendering updates Valve also rolled out changes that improved how Dota 2 looked with the summer client update. Shadow changes Particle lightning changes Tone mapping changes Armory changes Dota 2\u2019s trusty armory was finally updated with a plethora of changes. The armory was turned into a one-stop shop for all cosmetics, alongside a few quality-of-life upgrades. In the new armory, players can do the following: Demo item combos. Choose global items on a more refined user interface. Find items with the automatic item highlighter. Save space in their inventory with the stacking duplicates. Sort their inventory by market value. Collector\u2019s cache 2023 The final piece of the summer client update is the 2023 collector\u2019s cache, available for purchase at $2.49 (USD).","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/dota-2-pudge.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948856"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1802"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948856"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948856\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":948890,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948856\/revisions\/948890"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/948880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=948856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=948856"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=948856"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=948856"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=948856"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=948856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
