Front End Changes

UI Updates

We’ve a new hero inspect feature and the card based hero selection system has once again been updated, tweaks have been made in order to improve the look and functionality of the grid based selection system.

Hero Selector UI

The selector UI has been updated with a number of changes, adding some new features and improving the grid layout.

It’s also now possible to return back to the browsing the hero list, allowing you to make recommendations to your team, “Return to browsing”:

“Return to Loadout”, to go back to the loadout customisation window.

The grid based layout has been updated so instead of showing cards, it now shows the full hero portrait and there’s also a “pick hero” button now directly on the layout.

Using the button in the bottom left corner, you’ll also be able to completely customise the grid layout, moving the cards around to where ever you want to and also resizing them with the mouse scroll wheel.

A quick re-juggle from last week’s prediction, I’m now placing Luna as the next hero to be released, with Undying following up sometime after.

  • TheAncientOne

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO undying!!!! :(

  • Ryan Boldery

    What happened to meepo

    • Nakula108

      I am waiting for meepo more than anything

  • PAABLO4

    Luna, Templar Assassin, Undying :D

  • Monkeysauce

    I will feel your pain as the next hero will be undying

    • Cyborgmatt

      Reverse psychology tbh. I love both of them any way.

      • TheAncientOne

        undying pleeeeeeaaasseeee :( i need play it

  • ianos

    Awesome as always Matt!

  • http://www.facebook.com/eduardo.alvarez.52 Eduardo Alvarez

    Lanaya is near to completition, my prayers have been answered ;__;

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1621667544 Martin Park

      YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

    • cvx007

       YEAAA Lanaya and Slark are my beloved ones :) )

  • Aaaa

    is it me or does rubick look kinda surprised in his portrait

    • Anferafe

       well if you transform form a wizard to a alien, you will look suprised

  • http://twitter.com/HenryWresler Henry Wresler

    Lunaaaaaaaaa

  • Pheromone89

    The Frog’s tongue grow from its chin. Creepy

  • Scsf

    PA’s blink doesn’t work well. She could’t hit instantly when she blinks

    • Limitless

      Kinda same thing with riki haha

    • Guest

       is your autoattack on “off”?

      • grimfeeder

        doesnt matter if it is or isnt on it should attack instantly

      • Aaron

        Even with auto-attack off you’d think it’d issue an attack order against the selected target, like Riki’s blink strike (not sure if that does tbh).

      • Aaron

        Even with auto-attack off you’d think it’d issue an attack order against the selected target, like Riki’s blink strike (not sure if that does tbh).

    • grimfeeder

      that definatly needs to be fixed

    • http://parecetamarindo.blogspot.com/ Cássio Nandi Citadin

       some for riki’s blink

  • mr9sky

    Where is the Wisp’s material update? *grins*

  • Looster

    don’t fucking delete my comment bitch i will seriously fuck your ass

  • wshqjc

    In this week’s update, not much surprise comes. Hope next week , valve would release at least 3 heroes, like in last week.

  • Eric

    Earthshaker is still a wookie :(

  • Tazz

    Rubick will look so sick ! same for the undying

  • Gruia

    women faces sure are boring. put a wrinkle , put a scar.. don’t put fucking makeup

    • Joneunderground

      Why not?

      • DeadlyGrim

         ’cause the number of female soldiers who go into battle with makeup on should be slightly larger than zero.

        • Baconkid

          Might as well remove all women from the game and give every man a full plate mail. Also, no magic.

        • Anonymous

           I don’t think a single female hero in this game is technically a soldier, most of them are magicians of some sort or holy warriors, which are known for their ornamental garb and makeup (male or female).

    • /oA/o

      Spectre and Bane need boots, because fuck you that’s why!

  • Rub3s

    Am i the only one waiting for bristleback?

    • DarkPhoenix

      i know how you feel, i am waiting for Abaddon :(

      • http://www.facebook.com/radu.bores Radu Bores

        Terrorblade and Centaur for me, then Troll Warlord

        The Pig is really fun to play as well, Taureen Chieftain, Naga and Tuskarr

      • Yasdasdasd

        Yes please Lord of Avernus asap!!! :)

        An actually fun support hero!

      • Johnny

         Abaddon and Bristleback are my two heroes <3 Valve is delaying it on purpose for my birthday

    • Caedo

       Centaur, personally.

    • De

       I’m waiting for Techies.

      • Tobias

        I read somewhere that Techies will be one of the last heroes released due to his huge Metagame change

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/César-Hoffmann/1610177714 César Hoffmann

          I feel like he will be the last one. Trust me.

        • Apocalypse

          valve said he will be the last due to the huge metagame shift he brings with him, also techies will find a hard time being played as most of the pubs are being warded nowadays

    • Ghorn

      I’m waiting for Slark, Phoenix and Visage

      • Me

         Slark, fuck yeah!

      • Anonu34213

         Slark + Phoenix.

        you must be new to dota.

      • Bees Knees

         I need meepo. He’s like a really micro-intense ganking hero that only a handful of people can wield.

    • http://twitter.com/Avalokitesvara_ Avalokitesvara Q. C.

      Im wating for Bristle too, and Abaddon and Techies but techies will be le last. =(

    • Freki

       No you’re not, at least you can count me in. He’s one hell of a badass.

  • gh0stfly

    This update was really nice. The grid view selection is sick, being able to fully customize it to your liking.
    Thanks for the content analysis, keep up the good work!

  • The Alpha GareBear

    I’m actually surprised Rubick is coming out before a lot of other heroes. I was kind of hoping he’d have a TON of custom animations and such. I’m still happy he’s coming out, though! Definitely one of my favorites.

    • The Alpha GareBear

      Now that I think of it, I suppose there’s no reason he can’t have just that. I just kind of figured they’d wait until everyone else was out before adding in Rubick, who uses everyone else’s stuff.

  • Mehal

    Where is techies?

  • Shiganaw

    templar assassin looks really cool

  • http://twitter.com/danostrowski danostrowski

    Holy crap I’m so excited about the progress on Templar Assassin!

  • Spoon

    WHAT ABOUT TECHIES

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dreyton-Farr/1170567017 Dreyton Farr

      its never coming. Techies is dead, and hopefully he stays that way.

  • Khress

    no love for meepo?

  • Khress

    no love for meepo?

  • Crazed

    What about Meepo? His stuff has been nearly done for quite a while. However, From the screenshots you posted, I’m surprised you didn’t say naga siren.

  • Utaka

     Anyone noticed the change on kunkka’s face ?

  • tião boiadero

    Luna Coming *-*

  • Jenyakobzev

    Cyborgmatt(or anybode else),just answer 1 simple question:when will medusa gorgon be reliesed?Im crazy about her 

  • KilluaYoukai

    Would like to say thx to Cyborgmatt, cuz without his work we wouldnt see how PA textures were .. we wouldnt be able to say “we dont like Tron” on the forums .. and now we wouldnt have that freaking awesome PA textures in the game.

    She looks 10 times better than the previous one, ty Cyborgmatt!

  • spycrabz

    Possible Rubick hint?

  • Tyson McClure

    I’m predicting KotL and Rubrick next week, judging by the Blog Post title and the amount of work they have done on them.

  • Sky

    Sweet! Just wondering, you wouldn’t happen to know where I could find the .mdl files for the hero on the pedestal would you?

  • Lembidi
