Dota 2 releases critical update, fixing Monkey King-related bugs

Dota 2 has officially reformed many aspects of the game which include very necessary bug fixes and other critical changes.

On 31 July 2018, Dota 2 announced a variety of updates to the game so that players can have a much more positive gaming experience. These updates mainly centred on fixing a variety of bugs as well as general changes.

In terms of Bug fixes, Dota 2 has not held back. There were many bugs associated with Monkey King that have now been taken care of. This includes, “a bug that allowed players to cause Monkey King’s Primal Spring activation sound to play at different locations than it would be cast,”  as well as, “a bug that prevented Monkey King from drawing creep aggro for a short time when attacking out of Mischief.” Monkey King now has the ability to “transform into an Arcane Rune” as well. Beyond Monkey King, Dota 2 attended to two other very important bugs. The previous ability to randomise a hero’s position by pinging the hero’s real version before they used “illusion creating abilities” has now been fixed. This was taken care of, as well as a bug that allowed Morphling Morph to gain unearned abilities.

On top of debugging certain aspects of Dota 2, general changes were made as well.  Firstly, this included growing the number of Pro Circuit Prediction Tokens to 60 per week. Secondly, the ability to now sell Enchanted Mangos for ten cents for the first ten seconds after the item has been bought.
