Naix is the new DOTA 2 beta hero.
Beta test DOTA 2 continues in full swing — in the new patch, the game added a single hero, able to hide inside allies. Beta testers have already faced a lot of surprises playing against Naix. In addition to him, the game introduced a very important thing-the reduction for the quick purchase of items. For example, you enter BKB in the chat and immediately buy Black King Bar. Naturally, this function works only on its base and is not yet ready for all items.
Major changes of the new patch concern bug fixes when pressing alt + tab. Now the probability of departure from the game when pressing alt + tab is minimal. Activated this patch in the beta test DOTA 2 system, which creates a separate League for doterov often leaving the game at an early stage (leavers). For fans to play with bots — the team-wtf was added.
Inside the news you can find a detailed list of changes from the new patch for DOTA 2. Also you will find screenshots with a new hero-N’aix, the Lifestealer. Do not forget that to participate in the beta test you need a Steam account and a completed form on this link .
