Shop Layout and Hero Control Console Update for Dota 2


The last update for DOTA 2 by dating Jan20 is focuses on improvements to the in-game interface with various modifications to the Shop layout and Hero Control Console.

Shop Interface
The in-game Shop interface has been reworked to restore the item grid to the right-side orientation with hero guides extending to the left, and popular items are now highlighted directly in the item grid. Popular items are dynamically created and updated based on the top items purchased by players with an MMR of 5,000 and higher. Additionally, all players have a row of global customizable pinned items under the grid that can be set to match personal item preferences for quicker access.

Hero Control Console
We’ve made adjustments to the Hero Control Console layout to accommodate several changes, including making hero attributes always visible and showing both the base and bonus values for damage, armor, and attributes by default. We’ve also increased the size of HP/Mana bars, increased the area for multi-unit selection, and introduced multi-unit icons that scale dynamically based on the initial number of units selected.

Hotkey Support
We’ve restored the option to activate the Learn Ability mode with a hotkey. In addition, hotkey support is now available for opening the Hero Talent Tree to select the left or right Talent branch.

Full patch notes

  • Shop UI has been reworked.
  • Popular Items are now generated automatically per hero based on the top 12 items from players with 5k mmr and above from the most recent two weeks of games.
  • Popular Items are now highlighted on the item grid directly.
  • Shop item grid is now shown on the right side with guides extending to the left.
  • A global customizable Pinned Items section has been added to the shop. This section can be used to customize the shop to the items you use most frequently and are not tied to the currently selected hero.
  • Restored the optional ability to bring up learn mode with a hotkey, allowing for a two stage input for leveling abilities.
  • Added a hotkey for opening the talent tree UI (your old key used for leveling attributes). While the talent tree UI is open, the hotkeys 1 and 2 can be used to select the left or right branch.
  • Increased area used for multiunit selection UI and improved readability.
  • Multiunit selection icons now scale dynamically based on the number of units there are. They do not change size once a selection is made.
  • Adjusted Hero HUD layout.
  • Attribute bonuses now show up permanently on the screen.
  • Base values for damage, armor, strength, agility and intelligence are now displayed alongside the bonus values (rather than being totaled).
  • HP/Mana Bars are now slightly bigger.
  • Added Guide support for Talent Trees.
  • Fixed unpublished guides (that were in your cloud) not showing up in your Guide browser.
