Valve announces the release date of patch 7.30 and the 2021 Battle Pass bundle
There has been eager anticipation for a new Dota 2 patch because the meta has almost become stale with the same heroes being spammed in ranked matches. The wait is now over with Valve announcing, "In other news, Gameplay Patch 7.30 will be arriving after the Battle Pass ends. We're working on it.”
Patch 7.29, which not only revealed hero and item changes but also introduced a new hero, Dawnbreaker, was released in April. During the next month, four minor changes were made to this patch, namely 7.29a, 7.29b, 7.29c, and 7.29d. Since July and June were then played on 7.29d, the current meta for Dota 2 is already more than two months old.
In preparation for TI10, 7.30 is expected to be the last major patch that will establish a new meta that fans will see at Dota 2's biggest stage. Minor revisions to this patch in the form of 7.30a and 7.30b are likely to be released in the run up to TI10.
The Nemestice 2021 Battle Level Bundle
While Valve works on the patch, Nemestice Battle Pass owners can boost their levels with the freshly released bundle to earn more rewards.
“Each bundle purchase contains 60 Battle Levels, 6 Nemestice Immortal Treasures, and 3 Nemestice Themed Treasures, all for $14.99 each--a 70% savings on the combined value of the levels and treasures.”
A Battle Pass owner can purchase a maximum of two bundles. Remember that this bundle will be available for purchase only until 9th Aug 2021. There are 10 more days until the Battle Pass itself expires on 17th Aug 2021.
