Valve makes Dota 2 changes for April Fool’s Day
While it’s still March 31 in the United States, Valve is getting into the spirit of April Fool’s by introducing a number of (strange) changes to Dota 2.
The latest update has altered the symbol that appears when a creep or tower is denied. Previously, an exclamation mark would appear when the action was carried out. Now, a question mark appears instead.

New footage shared on Twitter by Wykrhm also shows new features for Low Priority Matchmaking, with an All Pick & Grace Mode available. Supposedly, these offer the option for players to earn Grace Points, which could then theoretically be used to avoid future Low Priority Queues.
It remains to be seen what other trickery awaits as we approach April Fool’s.
In more serious news, Valve recently confirmed the dates for The International 2017 main event. The tournament will be returning to KeyArena in Seattle this August with ticket prices ranging from $100-$200.
