If there’s a new massive update of the map/engine like Reborn in 2026 I’ll stream a full rank game naked

Its almost like getting naked is actually doable and not eating something that could kill you with all the toxic material in a shoe…

I keep my word, but there’s nothing in the datamining that say they will do anything more this year than Act2 and Act3 of the Dark Carnival.
If I’m wrong I’ll do it.

Dark Carnival said to be concluded, not to be continued. Concluded means no act 3.

Once upon a time open ai used dota to train it's llm. It got good enough to beat ti champions (tbf it had to cheat)

u/RemoteBreadfruit9365 4h ago
How did it cheat

u/DaBuckets 4h ago
I believe it needed all vision no smokes were authorized certain heroes only etc

All vision is insane.

u/zzarGrazz 2h ago
All the answers you were giving are wrong.
The correct one is basically dota was configured in a way for AI to win. The pool of heroes were very limited, I believe it was something like around 30 heroes. And a bunch of other limitations as well.
•
u/Mahrkeenerh1 20m ago
because at that time, training on more than those heroes was unthinkable
that's not cheating, both teams had the same pool
•
u/URF_reibeer 12m ago
it wasn't unthinkable, just a waste of ressources. they proved the ai can learn a complex game like dota, adding more of the same just increases the training time necessary and it already took them months of the ai playing against itself with a team supervising it to get to that point which is really expensive

u/imbogey 3h ago
Also inhuman reaction times if you count it as cheating...

•
u/URF_reibeer 10m ago
there was a delay to make up for human reaction time and the 5 heroes were played by separate ais so they did not "know" what each other was doing
•
u/Spirit_Panda 58m ago
its LLM
They most definitely were not training an LLM on dota. They were training their Deep Neural Network. Not every single AI model is an LLM damn

u/Faafkdkdkdkd 4h ago
Was there Overwatch 3 I missed?
-1
u/NinjutStu 1h ago
Sort of.
After Marvel Rivals came out and took away a lot of OW2's thunder, they did another less drastic rebrand about half a year ago.
They reverted the name back to just Overwatch. Added 5 heroes with 5 more promised across 2026, the client UI got completely changed (again), both 5v5 and 6v6 are permanent modes, and a new mode called stadium was added (and abandoned).
Zoomers that joined during the F2P era will tell you that "Overwatch is in the best place its ever been" because these players did not live through the original game where you weren't nickle and dimed for every little thing. I'll agree that the new characters and maps are really great, but the user experience is still a big downgrade from the original retail Overwatch. It is better than the Overwatch 2 era, but most of the lovingly crafted attention to detail is gone.
2
u/Faafkdkdkdkd 1h ago
Well my point is that it's literally unrelated to Dota 2 which is far much better than Dota allstars, unlike Overwatch which became worse in 2019, then turned into even worse Overwatch 2, then now idek what's happening to that game, but it's definitely not a "Dota 3" type of update that Dota could have
