Drop chance change
Recently, the Dota 2 fan community discovered changes to the drop rate of rare items from Chill’s Chest, which caused a negative reaction from many players. According to the community, Valve has made changes to the drop rate of these items, resulting in a decreased chance of receiving desired cosmetic items.
According to reports from Dota 2 fans, Valve has interfered with the drop system for rare items from the Cold-Frozen Chest. Players have found that the chance of obtaining valuable items such as rare sets or Arcana has decreased significantly compared to previous years. This caused outrage and dissatisfaction in the community, as players expected the same drop chance to remain the same or even increase it.
Chance of obtaining items from the Chest of Coldness
- Tier 1 item – ~90% (was 80.13%)
- Tier 2 item – ~9% (was 16.03%)
- Tier 3 item – ~0.9% (was 3.2%)
- Tier 4 item – ~0.09% (was 0.64%)
According to information from Valve, the chance of obtaining the extremely rare Gingerbread Baby Roshan item is 1 in 100,000, and the uncommon item has a 1 in 300 chance. This ratio has caused dissatisfaction among fans of the game, who have expressed their criticism of the developers due to what they consider to be aggressive monetization Dota 2.
Community reaction
Dota 2 fans are actively discussing this change in various online forums and social networks. Many players express their dissatisfaction and believe that Valve acted unfairly by interfering with the drop system without prior notice or explanation. Some players believe that this may be due to the company’s desire to increase its profits by forcing players to purchase cosmetic items directly rather than receiving them through in-game drops.
