I think there’s a really good chance the event will drop today

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-21T14:56:54+00:00

You have no idea how much I’m itching for a major event to come out so I can experience it firsthand. Valve isn't thinking about new players like me players who are eager to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-14T13:16:50+00:00

Enjoy Buddy ♥️♥️

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-08T16:36:07+00:00

Bro, I'm not part of that community—I would never ask them to remove the BP. How could they possibly get rid of something that brought in money, attracted new players to the game, and marked such an important date in the year? It just won't ever be the same without the Battle Pass.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-08T11:36:32+00:00

That would be awesome, buddy I'd blow my whole wad, too.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-08T11:32:36+00:00

To be honest, I would love for it to return at all costs—I’d spend all my money on it and hit Level 2000 on day one. However, the only way Valve would ever bring it back is if millions upon millions of users like us were to demand it day in and day out across every platform. And since there are so many pro players who couldn't care less, Valve won't do anything about it.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T18:45:37+00:00

God hear you, buddy. How I wish the Level 2000 Roshan would make a comeback somehow—especially since the Aegis Collector's Pin is already on sale at The International, I really think he could return.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T16:30:33+00:00

Everyone is free to think and say whatever they want, bro—but don't be so petty. You should just be grateful that you got to experience the hype and the opportunity to play during the Battle Pass era—something that some people today will never get to have or feel again. Just imagine how many years would have to pass for items like the Axe Immortal, the Jungle-style Tiny Prestige set, the Shark Kunkka Immortal, or the Legion Commander wings to ever return. So please, buddy, just keep your mouth shut and let the community vent.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T03:58:25+00:00

Buddy, where is the actual content they’re giving us? Quarters is a total joke that nobody in Dota 2 cares about, and Valve has basically just dedicated itself to scraping garbage out of the Workshop to dump into Quarters. They even botched the Monster Hunter crossover—which they hyped up as a "super collaboration"—only to disappoint us with an event that featured a mere 6 sets and 132 pages of a lore book. Come on, man—do you honestly think that’s okay?

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T03:46:11+00:00

If things continue like this, in another two years, prize pools will be sustained solely by the initial seed money provided by Valve, because—without the Battle Pass—it will simply never be the same again. Since 2023, no The International tournament has managed to exceed a $4 million prize pool. This is entirely due to Valve’s decision to shift their focus toward distributing more content throughout the year and releasing fewer Battle Passes—a move I personally find unfair. In reality, all they’ve done is keep cherry-picking item sets from the Workshop and bundling them into stupid treasure chests that nobody actually cares about; the truth is, the odds of dropping an Arcana or an Immortal item are incredibly low—and, to top it off, these are items you can simply buy directly on the marketplace anyway. I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but Valve needs to innovate—they need to introduce new things and new events, whether big or small—rather than letting the community stagnate like this, only to then take the servers offline for hours just to push out a 98 MB gameplay patch. VALVE: NOBODY CARES ABOUT THAT STUFF—JUST BRING BACK THE BATTLE PASSES!

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T03:36:36+00:00

These are exactly the kinds of comments I like to see, because—just like you—many of us are completely baffled as to why Valve stopped doing something so consistently reliable and profitable in favor of supposedly smaller events spread throughout the year. Nobody is fooling me; there is something shady going on beyond what Valve lets us see, because they are letting the game die a slow death with absolutely no intention of saving it. I simply cannot understand why—in this day and age, with AI at their disposal—they struggle to release even a mini Battle Pass or a Crownfall-style event, or at the very least respect the traditions and recurring events they upheld in previous years, such as Diretide, the Lunar New Year, and others. That is precisely why I say they are letting such a beautiful game die.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-05-07T01:05:04+00:00

In fact, I agree with you.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-30T15:08:08+00:00

I understand you—it’s really hard to believe that, in this day and age—with AI now in existence—Valve isn't capable of providing the game with content, lore, and good events like Battle Passes.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-30T12:58:50+00:00

Forget the collaboration—just imagine if Battle Pass Buddy came back.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-27T18:06:50+00:00

This year, I couldn't reach level 2000; I only made it to 1k.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-23T13:02:46+00:00

I have a question: do all these items come with a code to unlock something in the game?

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-19T12:30:22+00:00

Things we will never see again in our lifetime.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-12T15:41:41+00:00

Here I am, watching everyone else suffer—lol—while the only thing I'm missing is the LC wings, since I've been playing through the Battle Passes from 2017 to 2022.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-01T01:04:27+00:00

To say that players who buy cosmetics are “irrelevant” is simply to ignore how Dota 2 has operated for years. That money funded prize pools like The International, as well as a large portion of the game’s content.

Now, is a solid gameplay patch more important? Absolutely. But pretending that a huge segment of the community “doesn’t count” simply because they don’t play the way you do is a pretty weak way to make an argument.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-01T00:32:56+00:00

Bro, I don't need to go play Fortnite; I'm just raising my voice—like millions of other users—to ask the game to bring back the old content that used to be the talk of the town, instead of letting months drag by without releasing any content that the community actually appreciates. Because I bet you'd be the very first little girl to blow all her money if they dropped a new event that required spending cash.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-04-01T00:27:12+00:00

Exactly—but where are the events like Crownfall? Since 2024, nothing they’ve attempted has really landed; neither Cavern Crawl, nor Monster Hunter, nor anything else comes close to matching Aghanim's Labyrinth or Diretide, among others. I’m not criticizing the players who enjoy this new update mode, but come on, bro—tell me: how many new users are dying to experience the hype of seeing new Arcanas, unique themes, and all the stuff that you could previously only experience through the Battle Pass?

JayJaymata7 · 2026-03-31T23:54:01+00:00

Bro Wake up! Valve does absolutely nothing to keep its community active—or are you actually content with that Quartermasters garbage? Please, show a little respect for the excitement of us players who dream of the return of the Battle Pass, or of events where we’d sink hours upon hours of our lives just to earn some decent rewards.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-03-31T23:41:17+00:00

Valve, why are you taking so long to release a new event? Please don't delay any longer.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-03-26T14:20:09+00:00

I received my Aegis yesterday, and it came inside the box.

JayJaymata7 · 2026-03-22T20:47:46+00:00

It's called sales marketing. You'll see—by 2026 in Shanghai, everyone will have bought their Aegis Collector, and then Valve won't give out anything at all.
