Dota 2 introduces updated features to help new players including in-game tips, ban of smurfing

Makers of the video games series Dota have introduced several updates for Dota 2. In a blog post shared on the Dota 2 website, the company shared that instead of ‘relying on a single dump of complex information,’ the company has now introduced a system that provides players with gradual learning opportunities. Dota 2 is going to offer several changes to both new and returning players, the blog post said. There is a possibility that with the release of DOTA: Dragon’s Blood on Netflix, more users will come to join the game developed by Valve Corporation. The updates will be implemented from Thursday, 25 March.
