Bleeding marvellous: Dota 2’s First Blood update goes live

Dota 2 players, I summon you! Hop onto Steam and get your lazy arses downloading the First Blood update that I mentioned last week.

The First Blood patch adds in LAN support, a Captain’s Draft game mode, a significantly less shit Armory/Backpack combination that lets you find items and set up your own filters much more easily, a bunch of patch notes, and some more Store goodies. Said Store goodies include a rather jolly Portal pack, adding GLaDOS as an announcer, as well as giving you Portal-themed Wards and a HUD. I suspect you can decide fairly easily whether or not that’s worth £8.63 of your money.

So yes, that’s out now. Read the patch notes here, and join our Dota 2 guild here. Hurray!
