Wait, there isn't going to be a Manilla battlepass?

Battle Pass hits level 119, another 500 at level 235, and 1000 at level 395.
holy shit they are really catering to the whales this year

Glad none of the Immortal 1's really interest me. Get to sell those for some cash back :D But goddamn so many things to get this year, it's insane...

lmao you can recalibrate your ranked mmr through this. not cool
 
Debating whether I actually want this. I only want the timber immortal.

You'll be able to get it for $5

Actually it's high passed time that Dota 2 had some mechanism to create "seasons". League has had them for years. Seasons are pretty cool as a concept. You more or less start over and climb again once a year for nice end-of-season gifts and sets and whatnot. Though League is more separated into divisions than Dota is presently. I suspect that will change soon as well.

I think there's a bug with recycling immortals for Battle Pass levels. Didn't get my 2 levels for recycling the PL immortal.

[EDIT] Nvm, guess it just took a few mins for it to work.

There's a Pachinko style game in the compendium where you can get extra points right now for free. Should be under Community Challenges > Play Lina's Battle Blaze. I got 2 levels off the 3 attempts I had.

I've wanted something like divisions in Dota for a while now but keeping this behind a paywall and locking the rest of the community out of it is pretty shitty imo.

The next battle pass should just be a gacha game.

Randomly roll heroes. Send them on quests. Earn points. Unlock rewards.

Complete game cheevos for more rolls/points, or buy them because you're a big fat whale.

well ok then Lol. valve has a proper hard on for particles more than ever before

and we've gone full casino:
pachinko
guessing the number
betting on matches
roulette

come on in, the water is fine ladies. 50 charges of blood or oil. we witcher 3 now.

I also like them calling out the community to beat the old prize pool by literally bribing them with super rares. the entire system is basically RNG.

new terrain is dope as fuck though srs

Vote for storm spirit arcana

im down for this or invoker

Definitely agree and it's a really important point. A seasonal format will have to be independent of paywalls. It has to be, for all the obvious reasons.

nah i didnt, look again ;)

and 40 million would be insane. I almost feel like it's going to do less but at the same time this community is off their fucking rocker, plus valve has more sneaky ways to extract money from peoples so I can see 20m happening as gross as that sounds to say ahaha
