Dota 2 Systems Patch: Dark Carnival & Role Queue Protocols

Dota 2 Systems Patch: Dark Carnival & Role Queue Protocols

Field report: Dark Carnival economy recalibrated. Regular and Turbo queues now yield Scrap tickets (2 vs 1 per match), with 6 Scrap converting into a targeted Hero ticket. Ticket flow from Ability Draft, Co-op Bots, and Fortune Teller rerolls has been debugged and restored. UI intel upgraded: Candyworks ownership visibility and Dark Carnival Hero Filter tooltips expose ticket thresholds on sight. Operational shift on ranked role economics: players now preserve Role Queue Games by locking in at least one high-demand role instead of being forced into both. Co-op Bot Hard/Unfair now feeds Seeing Stones, reinforcing PvE progression paths. Ancillary fixes stabilize Pick the Lock physics, Automaton Persona voice lines, and multiple Dark Carnival edge cases. #Dota2 #DarkCarnival #RankedMeta
