Dota 2 got a new patch
In a new patch, Valve added the Winter's Refuge event and a new lasso for Rubick to the game.
In the added game mode, players will need to defend the ancient tree from waves of various opponents. For each level of the Battle Pass, users will receive special rewards, which will be activated tools for the Winter's Haven mode. They can also be used in regular matches. Dota Plus members will be able to purchase a consumable pack for 1500 shards.
Another difference between Dota Plus subscribers and regular players is that for every five Battle Pass levels, subscription owners will receive two random items instead of one. Valve plans to conclude Winter's Haven on January 3rd.
Later, the Dota 2 developers released another patch, which improved the artificial intelligence in the new mode, and also updated the armor, damage and health characteristics of creeps in the last round of Winter's Haven.

The magus cypher
A new cosmetic item has been added to the game on Rubick, which equips in a cloak slot and stains stolen abilities green and changes some animations. An interesting feature of this thing is that the arcana counts the player's victories on Rubick and after each triumph gives the owner access to new animations. For example, after the first victory, Rubick will be equipped with the new Laguna Blade, Wrath of Nature and Hand of God effects. Some skills, such as Chronosphere, will only be available after 40 victories. Also, after winning 40 games on Rubick, the player will be able to unlock a special effect under the feet of this hero.
Like all other arcana, The Magus Cypher gives a redesigned hero portrait and updated ability icons. Along with this, Valve also released new voiceovers for Rubick. Only the owners of the arcana for this hero will be able to appreciate it.
A video was published on the DotaCinema Youtube channel with a selection of 115 stolen skills with changed animation for the new arcana.
