Dota 2 players will be pleased to know Valve has just released a new update for their favorite game, which promises to fix lots of bugs previously reported and further improve gameplay.

First and foremost, as the title says, the latest update for Dota 2 adds Legion Commander to the workshop. Aside from that lots of other minor and major issues have been addressed. You can read below the full list of changes included in this update:

- Updated workshop files for Dazzle, Dragon Knight, Bloodseeker, Broodmother and Batrider that include separated fbx and smd files; - 5 solo players will never match against a 5 man party in Ranked Matchmaking (and will be extremely unlikely in Unranked); - Fixed bug where you could have multiple recruiters, or active recruitment requests once accepting a recruiter; - Some players with multiple accepted recruiters will have their recruitment status reset; - The armory filter dropdown will no longer be hidden by any active Battle Point Boosters; - Fixed various crash bugs around Guides in Frostivus; - Improved audio mix of player and caster voice on surround sound systems; - Fixed a crash on systems with multiple gamepads connected; - Fixed a case where backdoor protection would not function properly; - Fixed Ember Spirit base HP regen being 0.25 instead of 0.75; - Fixed Naga Siren base HP regen being 0.25 instead of 0.75; - Match history now shows MMR and change for your ranked matches.

Valve recently removed all restrictions on its Dota 2, one of the most popular MOBA games available on PC platform. This means that anyone wanting to try this one out can do so without the need of an invitation or any kind of registration.

However, you will need a valid Steam account in order to be able to play Dota 2. The game is free to play, like most MMOs these days, but features lots of in-game purchases that usually help players quite a bit.
