Is the new Battle Pass 2021 Dota 2 worth buying? Why players are shocked by it

New Battle Pass 2021 in Dota 2 was released on June 24, 2021, but players were dissatisfied with it from the very beginning, let’s see why.

After all, the game added a new event “Infighting”, added the long-awaited arcana on Spectra and of course Battle Pass. How unique and cool is this content? Or is it still a total disappointment and the 2021 compendium was the biggest disappointment for players.

The International 2021 prize pool

Players know that 25% goes into the TI prize pool from each purchase. Since the last TI was canceled, but there was also a Battle Pass and their deductions. Now they are collecting again, but from 0.

The first level of the compendium is cheaper than it was before, exactly 25%. However, if you purchase the 100 level package already, the difference will be minimal, only $3. If we compare last year’s Battle Pass to the new one, instead of the 3 arcana we are only given 1. Immortal chest will also be 1, in addition to this there will be no additional rewards in the form of Aegis, Roshan. Only quests, modes and the event – all we were given until August 17, that is, a month and a half will go, instead of the standard 4.

Exclusive rewards combat pass 2021 dota

Exclusive rewards have always been Valve’s marketing moves. This time, however, we got a harness that’s 4 times more expensive than on the marketplace. Yes, if you don’t buy a battle pass this time, you won’t lose much, yes you won’t have alternate personas, but that’s not a big deal. After all, the alternate, an upgraded Invoker, which is no longer exclusive.

You get, a small invoker in the Dark Artistry set for 275 level pumping, but I want to note that on the subject is written that it was released in 2019 with a prefix Exalted and a gold frame. So, these are not exclusive rewards. I’d like to point out that the Dark Artistry set on the adult Invoker has dropped in price by exactly 20 times at the merchant.

New arcana on Spectra in Dota 2

The fact that players are given unique arcana in combat passes is normal, everyone is used to it. It started with Wisp, who was handed out to everyone despite losing to him in the final vote. Then in the next compendium, players were given Shaker and 3 unique harnesses. After all, many know if a new harness that wins the vote can be bought at the standard price later on the trading floor. This was the case with the arcana on Phantom from way back in 2014.

But now it’s different, greed and the desire to earn more, has overtaken all expectations. Now the winner is given to players in the battle pass and it will cost you already 10 000 rubles buying levels instead of 2 500 rubles in the store. Does the harness itself is worth this amount? Or it’s better to score.

Disappointment of the players because of the battle pass

The original, cool content from developers Valve received a lot of negativity from the community of players. The reason was the flavor of the rewards. Only 30% of players got the arcana, the rest didn’t like it. And after all, arcana on the spectrum is the only arcana in this pass, this is the hero everyone voted for and waited for. Even without looking at the two styles of hero, do not force players to donate to the game. After all, the goal of getting a level is 100 mega kills of enemies. You get a second style, new lines, abilities (view). Of the unique – new reverse effects, radix (popular items from the assemblies on the hero).

If you don’t use the second style of arcana spectra, the hero looks a lot like a Wyvern. And getting the second style, as you have realized, is a long time. Who would be interested in this harness at this price? Only Mainers who play Spectra, or collectors who want an exclusive set.

How to Raise Levels in Combat Pass 2021

Since the Battle Pass has a deadline, which means that there are not many ways to raise the level in Battle Pass 2021 except for donation. Level experience is given for an event (event), catacombs, and wickets. There are no stakes, predictions and achievements, so pumping will not be as fast. It turns out you have to buy a level 100 pass right away and kill a lot of time in the game to get at least another 100-150 levels.

What’s new in Battle Pass 2021

Since the game does not have shovels, different chips, which many people thought trash, and so it was, so they removed them from here. True, they forgot to bring new rewards to the pass, there remained smiley faces, stickers, effects and just a lot of empty levels. Developer Valve even added a new visual look to the reward ribbon, but otherwise everything remains the same.

New Enemy Mode

Players really got a completely new event, which is not copied from other modes, but it was extremely boring and ordinary. To make it more fun to play it, you need to play with friends, and that’s enough for a couple of times. After all, the game sometimes lasts more than half an hour, which means you can just play in public and get more profits.

You won’t find the candy and roshan that was in Diretide, the plot and hardcore like in Siltbreaker, and the excitement of randomness and exploration like in Labyrinth Aganima or Underhollow. In fact, it’s a simple custom game with add-ons where you can just play and not stress about it. After all, players when used Overthrow as a warm-up before ranking.

It was with it that the era of castomics began, which means you can get new content in through them, players will eat it up. The Dota community was left extremely dissatisfied with the rewards. Since everything here is absolutely bad. If you don’t buy Battlepass, you can just buy Dota Plus and you won’t lose anything much. Shards will be given to you for playing in the new mode.
