Dota 2 update

Valve changed demanded roles in Dota 2 after releasing a mini-update to the game, which should seriously affect matchmaking. Now, to not spend tokens in role queue, players need to choose position three or five. Dataminers believe that demanded roles marked with a star should now change depending on current demand in pubs.

New system can make searching for specific role easier, improve game experience and make matches more balanced. Dota 2 community hope that Valve will continue develop this system further.

Also in the mini-update developers worked on fixes for Spectre and localization files.

Reminder, earlier the best Dota 2 hero for gaining MMR in patch 7.40b was named, with winrate 55%.
