In Dota 2 appeared paid subscription
The latest update introduced the paid subscription feature Dota Plus, which is in fact a more thoughtful and improved variation of the Battle Pass.
What's the Difference
In general, the new service is designed to replace the outdated system of combat passes and to facilitate training for future cybersportsmen. Dota Plus is not tied to the date, will cost only $ 4 and will allow you to participate for free in the weekly Battle Cup tournaments. In addition, the player will be available tasks, for which he will be able to get special ranks, experience on the character and splinters. Splinters can be spent in a special store - on cosmetic sets with exclusive or even out-of-sale sets, which is a huge plus for collectors.
Teaching factor
Perhaps, the most interesting innovation can be called a set of tools Plus Assistant, which will be especially useful for beginners and not only cyber sportsmen. The system gives hints on how to build the hero's build, based on the statistics, and after the end of the match will provide a detailed analysis of the game, comparing the results of the player with an average result by rank. As stated above, Dota Plus will cost $ 4 per month, when buying a subscription for a longer period discounts are provided: 6 months - 6%, 12 months - 12%. The Dota 2 itself, of course, remains free.
