Dota 2’s 6.84 Gameplay Update details have been released. There are a host of various adjustments made to gameplay, the new Aghanim’s Scepter upgrades, new items, and more. These changes are live in the Dota 2 Test Client right now, and will be coming to the Main Client very shortly this week.
The International is quickly approaching, and that means the Compendium is on its way. This year’s Compendium will also be available later this week, and will be packed with items, and other rewards you won’t be able to find anywhere else. Don’t forget that all purchases contribute towards to prize pool for the world tournament. And if you’re eager to know who you can cheer for at The International, keep your eye open; they are due to be announcing which teams will be invited, very soon.
