Обновление от 17 января добавило режим Least Played

Разработчики DOTA 2 сообщают об установке очередного еженедельного обновления на публичные сервера игры, которое, к сожалению, не добавляет в игру нового героя. Вместо этого был введен новый игровой режим Least Played, который позволяет выбирать героев, которыми вы играли меньше всего. Таким образом игроки покинут зону комфорта и начнут экспериментировать с персонажами и связками.

Update Notes 17.01:   Added Least Played mode to matchmaking! In this mode players can only choose from a list of their least played heroes. This mode is great for learning new heroes since everyone will be on equal footing.

- Medusa: Mystic Snake now returns to restore you when it is blocked by Linken''s Sphere.
