Dota 2 Test 24th Feb Patch – Content Analysis

February 25th, 2012

My prediction prevails again, this week we get Bane, in a slightly different context, he arrives on the new DotA 2 test client.

The arrival of the DotA 2′s test client should result in content being pushed out to the community faster, more patches and time to test things before they reach the live version.

DotA 2 itself essentially becomes a stable/released product, DotA 2 test is the real beta. This is a good thing, so less tears would be nice please.
