Dota 2 developers have increased the polygon budget available for creating in-game items for a number of heroes. This update allows for more detailed and complex designs for cosmetic items.
The polygon limit has been increased for items on the following heroes:
- Bane (shoulders, arms, back)
- Sand King (shoulders, legs, back)
- Storm Spirit (armor, arms)
- Riki (shoulders)
- Death Prophet (legs, miscellaneous)
- Phoenix (wings, Supernova)
- Marci (head, armor, shoulders, back)
Additionally, Valve has adjusted item purchase recommendations:
- Gem of True Sight is no longer recommended for early game purchase.
- Bottle is not recommended for the planning stage.
- Orb of Venom and Orb of Blight are now recommended for early game purchase.
- Orb of Frost is recommended for purchase during the planning stage.
Previously, Valve made several attempts to fix a bug related to detecting Smoke of Deceit usage in the fog of war.
