The
Dota 2 universe was updated to Version 7.28 in December. Though there were many significant changes and a new hero in the patch, it wasn’t as impactful as fans hoped it’d be.
While Valve didn’t comment at the time on whether there would be more changes introduced at a later date, reputable members of the CIS community were suggesting that Valve may have released half of that expected major patch in December. Toward the end of March, however, Valve confirmed that there would be a follow-up major patch including a new hero and balance changes.
Patch 7.29 and the new hero, Dawnbreaker, went live earlier today. While the new hero will draw all the spotlight on herself for a while, there are also major gameplay changes that will shape up the way users play
Dota 2’s new Hero Hoodwink has arrived along with the massive Mistwoods Update
Earlier in the week, Dota 2 developer Valve announced its flagship MOBA game was in for a shiny new update on December 17 – so, this very day. The studio revealed practically nothing about the patch’s content, other than its name – “the Mistwood update” – and previously that the multiplayer game’s newest Hero would be dropping with 7.28. Now, however, we know what’s in store – the patch notes have dropped, and we’ve laid it all out for you below.
As detailed in the Dota 2 7.28 update notes, the newest addition to the character roster is Hoodwink. She’s a creature of the forest, looking like a kind of fox with a hint of red panda, and Valve lists her as a ranged nuker who specialises in escapes and disables.
