Dota Underlords Update Patch Notes

Valve has released a fresh update for Dota Underlords earlier on Thursday, March 19, which introduced some much-needed changes to the game and namely Bloodseeker, who has been terrorising the meta.

Bloodseeker has become a force to be reckoned with in the Dota Underlords meta play. As a cheap and effective unit, that is not only self-sufficient due to its Bloodrage ability, which provided health regen and attack speed every time Bloodseeker killed an enemy, but also very effective even without an Alliance. 

The sheer power and usefulness of Bloodseeker called for nerfs and it should not come off as a surprise the recently added patch addressed the said issue, alongside implementing some welcomed changes, which should improve the performance of the game across many platforms, namely iOS devices with 2GB memory.

Here we will look at full March 19 patch notes of Dota Underlords.

Dota Underlords Update In Which Bloodseeker

General changes

• Dota Underlords will become much more energy efficient, by reducing the number of crashes on 2GB iOS devices.
• Opponents selection during a match has been fixed to be more random (especially noticeable in Duos)
• Fixed Underlords mobile issue, where tilting the camera could make the benched units disappear.
• Fixed alliance pip display, which sometimes showed wrong info, when shifting units around during prepare phase.
• District Complete flow in City Crawl updated
• Improvement to UI performance
• Fixed showing an (invalid string) version of the Has Available Objectives button if there are, in fact, no available objectives.
• Fixed an issue with purchasing on iOS regarding Parental Controls.
• Fixed an issue with purchasing on iOS regarding Parental Controls; added extra logging to support finding and fixing any further issues.
• Hogben's, Jull's and Enno's victory adance reward when wearing skin rewards fixed.
• Fixed “Equip” button sometimes not working on the reward popup.
• Fixed “Invalid” overlapping the Hardcore XP bot difficulty selection in some cases.
