With its recently concluded Boston Majors, Dota 2 event has brought in a big patch which will make the game go through a massive overhaul. Titled 7.00, the DLC update brings changes to hero’s spells (Treant Protector, Necrophos, Techies), a new talent tree like system, and the Dota 2’s first official hero, Money King.
Monkey king, who would be the first hero to have been originally launched in Dota 2, was first teased few years back (unlike others, who have their roots in Dota) is an attacker who sends out numerous monkey warriors to fight for him with his ultimate. Apart from that, his kit allows him to climb trees and also transform into a random object through his ‘Mischief’ ability, and he can transform into a tree, tango, iron wood branch or even a banana.
The talent tier might be familiar to players who have gone through World of Warcraft or Heroes of the Storm. You can choose one set of talents from a tree, which will make the other one unavailable. Players can choose talents four times in the game at levels 10, 15, 20 and 25.
The overall HUD of the game has also been changed. Even the bots or AI controlled heroes have been changed now, as now bots can be programmed in a unique way to act certainly.
“The new patch adds a fresh feel to the game with many of the new mechanics and also a new hero Monkey King Things like the Shrine and the Talent Tree change the game as we knew it in the past. Talent tree has some good benefits for all the heroes which will allow the game to go much faster It will be very interesting to watch pro teams play out the new patch first hand.” said Kunal Borse, a gamer from Mumbai.
