Dota 2 released patch 7.35d: all the changes

On the night of March 22, Valve released a new patch aimed at improving balance - 7.35d. In addition to changes affecting the gameplay, new features affecting the game selection have been added. The company also announced that the long-awaited Crownfall event will be released in mid-April. You can check out the full list of changes in the update below.

New features

Updated Matchmaking Hero Ban Rework

This update removed the start-of-match ban phase and replacing them with preferred bans. You can now select up to four heroes in the Heroes tab that you do not want to see in the game, and at least one of them will be banned at the start of the match. The list of bans can be changed at any time. The game can also choose to ban an empty cell, so there is no point in specifying less than four bans.

Dota Plus Pre-Match Matchmaker Analytics

Dota Plus now shows information about the newly found game: the approximate skill spread and the integrity of the players. We will have the option to reject the game or start the search again if the conditions are not suitable for us. This feature can be either enabled or disabled in Dota Labs.
