Polygon Limits Increased for Dota 2 Hero Items

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.
