14 DAY TRIAL // Dota 2 has just received a brand new update on the PC platform, via Steam, which adds a brand new game mode – Reverse Captains – and improves a variety of issues, including problems with the voice chat and with different characters or items.
Valve has yet to actually release Dota 2 officially, but its ever-growing closed beta is becoming more and more popular, especially thanks to constant update delivered by the developer.
The latest patch has now been rolled out, via Valve’s Steam service, and brings quite a few new things, including a special Reverse Captains mode, not to mention many solutions to different issues relating to certain heroes, like the Enchantress, Phantom Lancer, or Wisp, while fixing items like the Tranquil boots.
What’s more, the voice chat has also been tweaked, as a new feature called auto-gain has been added in order to make the voices of players sound better and clearer.
