Dota 2 Rekindling Soul update changes heroes, maps
Time to defend those ancients with some newly-altered demon lords. Dota 2 received a major update to both its heroes and maps this week. Valve announced the Rekindling Soul update with major overhauls for one of its freakier heroes right in time for Halloween.
Chief among these updates is the redesigned Shadow Fiend and his Demon Eater arcana set. Demon Eater gear beefs up the fiery hero with a set of cosmetic and play changes ranging from a new hero icon, to animations and attack effects.
Many other changes in this update introduce both big and small tweaks, from new Runes to altered couriers. A new fight recap feature lets you examine stats on screen at the end of a match, which should be appealing to anyone practicing to improve their game. Also significant are the myriad changes made to maps. The update singles out how neutral creep Roshan no longer appears in the same spot on his map as before, altering how players strategize around him.
Complete details on Dota 2 v.6.82 are listed on Dota2.com.
