Following on from their utterly genius Diretide seasonal event which took place over Halloween, in which we were introduced to the disgusting little critters known as Greevils which hatched from eggs to become in-game couriers, Valve have transformed the normal Dota 2 map into a Winter Wonderland.
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
I've still got to play a Greeviling game :)
Wakaka, stunning article
My one problem with this is that it seems that me and quite a number of others are experiencing constant disconnects from the server when we enter the greeviling match. Usually occurring before the match even begins.
I love the event though and the irony that comes along with the Naughty and Nice gifts (I gotten two commons and some battle bonus' on my Nice boxes and a couple of rares on my Naughty boxes).
