REBORN
Today we are announcing the Dota 2 Reborn beta, which brings with it a new interface, new engine, and Custom Games. Everything in the dashboard has been redesigned utilizing a new UI framework and the engine that powers the game has been fully replaced. On this page we will be giving you a preview of the new interface. Early next week we'll be talking about Custom Games, and later that week we'll conclude with various details about the new engine and launch the open beta.
ALL-NEW DASHBOARD
Welcome to the new Dota 2. We have rebuilt the entire dashboard from scratch to make it more intuitive and easier to use. We're using a new UI framework which enables us to make the game more lightweight while also building a stronger foundation for new features here and in future updates.
PLAY DOTA
The "Play Dota" button is always available, no matter where you are in the new interface. Click "Play Dota" to choose your game mode or lobby, begin your search, and then go right back to what you were doing.
PUBLIC LOBBY GAMES
Lobby leaders can now list their lobbies publicly, allowing everyone in the world to see and join them. Players can search by lobby name or game mode, and also see which of those games are on their local network or have friends in them.
YOUR PARTY
Dota is best enjoyed with friends. Several new tools have been built to make it easier for you to gather your friends for a match, and make the experience of communicating with them seamless.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
The Friends menu now allows you to more easily find out who's available or looking for a party, and send them an invite with a single click.
PARTY VOICE CHAT
You can now use party voice chat in the dashboard and continue the conversation seamlessly while the game is loading.
PARTY MANAGEMENT
Does a friend have someone with them already? You can now directly merge two parties into one, or request to join someone else's party instead. You're also able to reassign party leaders at any time.
PARTY BEACON
You can now set yourself or your party to Open status, broadcasting to all your friends that you are searching for more people to play with.
YOUR FRIENDS
Explore your friends' playstyles, keep track of their accomplishments and comment on their progress.
MINIPROFILES
Mouse over a player's avatar in the new interface and you'll see their customizable miniprofile, where players can choose to show off their favorite hero's stats, most treasured items, or trophies. The profile also includes their Badge, which summarizes experiences and accomplishments into a single icon.
ACTIVITY FEED
The activity feed lets you quickly see and comment on your friends' accomplishments, giving you a place to celebrate a game-winning Black Hole and then quickly jump in the replay to see it for yourself.
HERO MMR
Delve deeper into a friend's performance by exploring their Hero MMR, a measurement of performance with an individual hero relative to their overall MMR.
PLAYSTYLE GRAPH
Your Dota playstyle is represented across 5 different axes, which can be used to compare yourself with your friends.
IMPROVED CHAT
The new chat interface is built with the goal of making it easier for players to form communities, and to help them get to know other players as they participate in more conversations.
REDESIGNED HERO BROWSER
Heroes are the heart of Dota. We revamped the Hero Browser in order to create a single location for you to learn about, practice with, and customize your heroes.
FIND YOUR HERO
It's now easier to search and sort through heroes using filters. Apply a Carry or Support filter to see which heroes work well in those roles, then filter further by specific roles such as Nuker or Jungler. You can also increase the strength of a filter to see which heroes function especially well in a particular role.
PERSONALIZE YOUR HERO
Hero pages now let you quickly browse and try on every set and item available for that hero. If you find something you like, use the purchase button to buy directly from the Dota 2 store or from the Steam Marketplace. There's also more information to help you determine if a hero is right for you, and a place to check out the community-written guides for that hero without needing to enter a match.
DEMO YOUR HERO
Each hero's page features a "Demo Hero" button, giving you quick access to a safe place to try out any hero's abilities and practice last hitting. The hero will also wear any items you have selected in their Loadout, giving you a chance to preview any cosmetic item in-game, including items you don't own.
NEW WAYS TO WATCH
Watching Dota 2 is just as central an experience as playing. The Watch section has been redesigned to make it easier to find the matches you want to see and then enjoy the game with a revamped DotaTV experience.
