Dota 2 Patch Disappoints Community Despite Positive Additions
Dota 2 recently released a new patch that brought some positive changes to the game. It introduced a new hero, made important balance adjustments, and even included a fun mini-game event. However, many players were disappointed because this patch was just a precursor to the larger patch they were hoping for.
In a recent episode of the We Say Things podcast, SyndereN discussed the patch and expressed his disappointment with the way it was communicated to the community. He acknowledged that the patch itself was “fine,” but felt that the way it was announced left much to be desired.
SyndereN specifically pointed out the choice of words used in the announcement post, which he believed didn’t provide enough information and left players feeling in the dark. He also expressed frustration that the delay of the patch wasn’t announced until the day of its expected release, suggesting that Valve could have informed the community earlier if they knew the patch wouldn’t be ready in time.
To avoid similar incidents in the future, SyndereN advised Valve to be more transparent about their plans. He argued that if players were given advance notice of potential delays or changes, they would be less likely to get overly hyped and ultimately disappointed.
As for the reason behind the patch’s delay, SyndereN speculated that the development team may have taken on more than they could handle. He also mentioned the possibility that Valve’s attention could be focused on the rumored CS:GO sequel. Regardless of the reasons, players will have to wait until next month to experience the large gameplay overhaul that is expected to come with the next patch.
In the meantime, players can enjoy the new hero and balance changes introduced in the current patch.
