Ringmaster has become the first hero in Dota 2 history to be stripped of an important function by Valve

Ringmaster has become the first hero in Dota 2 history to be released without a Legacy layout, which refers to the classic layout used in the original Dota.

This is a first, as Valve had previously provided two layouts for each hero. The Legacy layout corresponds to abilities from the original Dota and is highly popular among esports players like Dendi and Puppey. In contrast, Ringmaster only received the QWER layout, which became more popular later and is more familiar to the younger generation of Dota players.

This may indicate that Valve is planning to develop the game in a more radical direction, moving away from the classic formula established in the original Dota. Therefore, players might expect further changes to the interface and settings in upcoming updates.

Recall that Valve released Ringmaster, and he quickly became a hit in matchmaking, now appearing in almost every public match, with players even requesting nerfs for the new hero.
