Akhirnya Valve melakukan update yang cukup besar untuk DOTA2, terlebih untuk gameplaynya yang dinilai banyak orang masih belum cukup stabil. Tapi kok saat ditelaah lebih baik malah jadi makin aneh ya ? Terlebih, mereka belum banyak menyentuh Monkey King yang banyak pemain bilang masih sangat belum stabil dengan kemampuannya yang sangat kuat. Beberapa hal penting yang perlu diperhatikan seperti, Necrophos masuk ke Captains Mode, Reparasi “crash” yang sempat terjadi untuk pengguna Linux dan Mac dan pengaturan ulang skala Experience Point yang memang dirasa dibutuhkan mengingat sekarang Level sangat dibutuhkan oleh para hero untuk mempelajari Talent-talent yang mereka bisa kuasai.
Salah satu hero yang menjadi fokus pada update ini adalah Nature’s Prophet. Dimana seluruh Talent yang dimilikinya mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan pada gameplaynya kedepan. Sedangkan Hero-hero lainnya hanya mendapatkan penstabilan talent yang bersifat minor yang mungkin selama ini banyak dirasakan terlalu berlebihan oleh banyak pemain. Tak ketinggalan juga update minor UI yang selama ini sudah banyak dibahas di berbagai forum online seperti: Mode Coaching yang tidak berfungsi, Guide yang tidak bisa terlihat dengan baik dan sedikit perubahan pada shop.
