Valve have proposed temporarily removing talents and hero facets from Dota 2

LenaGol0vach, a well-known streamer, suggested that Valve temporarily revert Dota 2 to a state before the introduction of talents, facets, and item reworks. He believes that players would enjoy the opportunity to experience a classic version of MOBA.

This statement was made during a Twitch stream.

"Who would like to see a patch where Dota (even if just for a week) returns to how it was before talents, before Aghanim's Scepter on all heroes, before all that ****? Just regular old Dota from 2007. Who would want this patch to come out for a week? Just old, beloved, street Dota. Back when Papich used to wreck everyone with just one button. Back when Anti-Mage would buy Battle Fury, Manta Style, and Heart of Tarrasque and run all over the map. Back when Pudge couldn’t blink, he didn’t have a Blink Dagger. Remember? Because that was considered overpowered"

The streamer believes that the classic version of the game from 2007 would be appreciated by the Dota 2 community. He reminded viewers that the game was drastically different back then, as it lacked talents, facets, and the ability for heroes to use all items.

In the comments, viewers suggested that developers create a mode where players could enjoy the game without talents and other new features.

Recall that Valve was previously asked to urgently address a global matchmaking issue that is negatively affecting the gameplay experience for many players.
