With the release of the Dota 2 x Monster Hunter collaboration, which began on November 11, Valve has introduced several technical improvements to the MOBA. The game client now features four new settings aimed at simplifying controls, customizing abilities, and enhancing the clarity of combat actions.

The update includes the following features:

Per Ability Channel Cancel Customization 

Customization for each ability that requires holding a key. Now, you can set individual skills so that their channeling is interrupted only by pressing a specific command. To do this, go to the "Heroes" section and activate the toggle in the upper right corner of the desired spell.

Smart Multi-Unit Casting

Smart casting of spells across multiple units. When selecting all Meepo clones or Arc Warden copies, you can activate an ability with one button—the skill will be used on the unit where it is not on cooldown.

Smart Selection Groups

Automatic selection of summoned creature groups (such as Eidolons, Treants, or Broodmother's spiders). This allows for managing them as a single unit without manually setting binds.

Visualize Damage & Healing in Hero Health Bars

Visualization of damage and healing on health bars. Players can now see animations reflecting HP loss or recovery in heroes.

The changes aim to enhance gameplay convenience and improve interaction with multiple units—especially for heroes with summons or copies.

The Dota 2 x Monster Hunter collaboration started on the night of November 11, 2025. During the event, players will hunt heroes, gather materials, and create themed sets. The event is scheduled to conclude on February 6, 2026.
