The Techies Patch is Here!

Finally, the Techies Patch pushed into the Dota 2 main client after last week it was introduced in the test client. Just like Valve revealed last week, the Techies Patch contains several awesome things. The first and foremost is the addition of Techies, a unique hero with exploding skill sets. All the DotA veterans surely remember how they carefully going into the Secret Shop, hoping there won’t be a bomb there.

Along with that, Valve also ported the All Random Deathmatch mode. This mode will force you to random a new hero every time you are death. So be prepared to play any hero that will coming. Two more features addition are the Triumph Gallery which will be your trophy showcase and All Hero Challenge which challenge you to play with all the hero in the Dota 2. You can see the hero that you should play in your profile.
