New Update
Battlepass 2020

Battlepass 2020 has been one of the best BPs created by Valve. It has a ton of content and multiple personas, including a female Anti Mage. But despite all this, the Dota 2 community was unhappy because they found it hard to level up their BPs without paying money to buy the levels.

After a lot of complaints, Valve finally made changes to the number of points offered by Battlepass 2020. They have increased the points offered by guild contracts, Side Shop and wagering. But not before throwing shade on the community about how their data found that players were actually levelling up faster than last year.  

Here is the full blog by Valve: 

We've read feedback from the community that levelling feels harder this year. We looked into how things compare so far to last year. For battle pass players of all levels, on average players have earned 1.95% more free levels than last year. If we consider only players who after a week were below level 200, on average they have earned 7.91% more free levels than last year. However, we recognize that players still feel that they wish playing granted more, so we have a few changes included in this update: 

  

- Wagering battle point rewards are now increased by 50% 

- Guild contract battle point rewards are now increased by 100% 

- Sideshop gold for Recycling is increased by 65% 

- Sideshop gold for Guild contracts and upgrades are increased by 100% 

  

All these changes are effective as of this update. For sideshop gold earned through previous recycles, we will be granting the extra gold over the next few hours.
