There are a lot of things that Valve's hit PC MOBA title, Dota 2, does well. The tutorial is, unfortunately, not one of those things.
It's not for the lack of effort either. In recent years, Valve has tried a lot of things to make Dota 2 more appealing. This includes making it less toxic and introducing updates to help speed up gameplay.
As a matter of fact, these days, Dota 2 encourages more small-time skirmishes throughout the entire map to prevent games from being boring and lasting too long. However, despite all the additions, Dota 2 remains arguably one of the most complicated games to learn today.
With its most recent update though, Valve wants to change this. No doubt, this is to help the expected influx of players who might be piqued to try out Dota 2 after the premiere of DOTA: Dragon's Blood, an anime adaption based on characters from the Dota 2 universe, on Netflix. What Does the Comprehensive Dota 2 Update Add? Only time will tell if adding a separate mode specifically designed for beginners to help ease their transition to Dota 2 is enough to help the MOBA become more popular.
In an unusually lengthy and detailed blog post, Valve took its time explaining what the new update will bring to Dota 2.
In the said post, Valve acknowledged how conventional tutorials just won't work in Dota 2. Thus, they decided to make some long-overdue changes to help ease the transition for new players. The majority of these additions aim to make the game less complicated. Then, in cases where that's not possible, real-time advice is made available as well.
