When it comes to games, customizability is key. This includes hotkey assignments, button placement, status bar location, etc. Players of games like World of Warcraft are no doubt familiar with the user interface which is extremely customizable and can pretty much be setup to however the player wants it. With that being said, it looks like Valve will also be introducing customizability to their upcoming DOTA 2 game. However players will not have to wait until the final release before they get to try it out. Announced before the weekend, this update should be available for download so if you have yet to update your DOTA 2 beta, you probably should.

As pictured above, the update will bring about customizability to the game. This will now allow players to arrange the Grid View in whichever way they think works best for them. In fact players will also be able to save this customization and export it so that other players will be able to enjoy what you deem is the most efficient layout. For those who can’t be bothered to customize their own layout, we expect that more websites dedicated to customized layouts for DOTA 2 to start popping up where players will be able to download preset layouts. We’re not sure if the customizability is going to end there, but for now what do you guys think? Is this enough or would you like to be able to tweak the game even more?

From Jun 16, 2012

Unusually close to our bedtime, Valve has launched Dota 2‘s microtransaction shop as it formally declares the game free to play. Click here to read the fancy Dota 2 Store announcement page.

We expected Dota 2 to be a free-to-play game—that’s barely news. But more noteworthy is the confirmation that all of the game’s playable heroes will be free with no limitations, that Dota 2 will utilize Steam Workshop, and that, like TF2, the Dota Store will be putting player-made items on sale. 67 items are in Dota 2′s section of the Steam Workshop now, and almost 200 are in the Dota Store.

Dota 2 will release on PC later this year, Valve says. Expect a big coming-out party for the game during The International at PAX Prime.

One of the smartest things Valve’s done with Dota 2 is hook it up to Steam Workshop–the curated platform provided by Valve for players to create and submit mods for the game. The community can vote for the ones they like and, if Valve agrees, it’ll get added to the game.

Once added, players can either earn the items by leveling up and playing games through the matchmaking system, trade for them with other players, or just flat-out buy them for cash from Valve.

Dota 2’s community has only just begun to scratch the surface of the potential hero skins, ability mods, announcer voice packs, and courier upgrades. Here are my favorites of what’s out there so far.

So many people want all of these things from DotA and complain that League of Legend is too shallow or “casual”. X is too easy. X has been used before. X already has X so why does X have it? X is a faceroll. X is press R to win, BORING.

News flash, League of Legend is the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 of MOBAs. read more
