Will there be new heroes and items for Dota2? in General Discussion

    I always kind of thought this. I mean, Dota is balanced but its not completely balanced cause nothing is. However, to make things not stale and always perpetually balanced they nerf op and buff the weak to not allows things to stagnate. However, will new heroes be implemented and will new items be implemented as well? New items as in in game usable items not cosmetics. Or is this something that Dota never does? and IMO I think if they make a new hero it should be once a year (not including ports).

      i feel that once they have released all the old heroes they would have to release new heroes to keep the player base happy and interested so the game doesnt become too stale but doesnt mean they will

        If Icefrog feels like it.

          new items are super rare.

          New heroes will most assuredly be released once all the old ones are ported.

            theres been lots of events/competitions for people to create new heroes including hero design skills and lore so they prob could just take all the winners of those and create heroes easy :D

              I really hope not. Maybe a few extra items to fill the missing corners of counters but nothing too blatantly fair(which doesnt help). Like how League of Legends has like some item that is Battlefury for Range heroes. None of that, but maybe even an item that could help against an overabundance of familiars. They have necro, but maybe another item to counter that and other summoned units in a group besides something target able like a diffusional blade.

              humility

                The most appealing part of dota to me is how tight the heroes and items are, with games like HoN and LoL where new heroes are being released monthly, it's hard to take the game seriously when there is always a flavor of the month and said hero is either op or not fun enough. I prefer my moba to maintain a tight roster that continues to be balanced and perfected, that way the game falls more on the players performance and less on imba heroes.

                  I'm just scared too. I would only want them to release a new hero like once a year AT MOST. Maybe once every 2 years would be better.
