New Dota 2 patch fixes the MOBA’s Ability Draft mode
Valve’s flagship MOBA game has just got a whole bunch of updates to one of its perhaps more niche but good fun game modes. The January 8 Dota 2 patch brings a raft of fixes and tweaks to Ability Draft, which sets you up with a random hero plucked from a roster of eligible characters and four abilities picked from a randomised pool, following a Dota 2 “community bug hunt”.
In the list of Ability Draft fixes are a bunch that tie into Aghanim’s Shard ability upgrades. For example, boosted abilities like Fire Spirits, Grave Keeper’s Cloak, Epicenter, Fissure, and Ransack should now work correctly with Shard, and additionally Valve notes that the patch has fixed “various inaccurate Sceptre/Shard markers on draft screen as well as missing or wrong Aghanim’s tooltips”. Plus, giving your teammates Sceptres using the Greevil’s Greed ability will no longer cause an issue in removing your Shard granted ability.

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.

Dota 2 fans have been squirrely about getting new content and Valve seems to have noticed.
The newest Dota 2 hero has arrived as part of the Mistwood Update, with Hoodwink joining the fray. The ranged hero has a variety of unique spells that are similar to those seen with other Dota 2 heroes but has a focus on using trees that makes her kit a bit more unique.
“Hoodwink s earliest years were spent in the idyllic expanse of green that once filled the edges of Krimwohl. But as that kingdom grew, rival timber barons raced to outpace each other in devouring the natural beauty of the border forests. the official blog said of Hoodwink s lore. Having learned the tricks of safe passage in the tangles of those very mistwoods, where most living creatures wisely fear to tread, Hoodwink now strikes out against any who dare try to further pacify the wilds, happily taking what she likes from their belonging
