The fifth Power Rune, the Arcane Rune, was introduced in version 6.86 on December 2015 and gave spell-focused mids and supports a rune of their own to play with.Īs one of the more monolithic features of the game since its earliest days, Icefrog left the Runes virtually untouched for the better part of the decade. The Bounty Runes quickly became an important objective in the game, to the point that it has been tweaked multiple times since its initial release in order to balance how much it has impacted the game. The Runes remained unchanged until September 2014, over a year after the Dota 2 beta ended, when the 6.82 patch first added the Bounty Rune. That update first introduced the Bottle, which became the must-have item for midlaners in DotA for the better part of a decade. The Runes became a major factor in the game, especially during the laning phase, when version 6.33 was released June 2006. The Illusion Rune was added three months later in patch 6.09. The first version of DotA Allstars, 6.00, released in March of that year, only had four Power Runes, namely Double Damage, Haste, Invisibility, and Regeneration. The Runes have been a part of the game since the DotA Allstars era, when Icefrog first took over as the main developer of the original Warcraft III mod way back in 2005. Let’s take a look back at the five biggest changes to come to the game in the last seven years: The game has grown and changed massively since then, eventually becoming one of the biggest esports titles in the world. It has now been seven years since the Dota 2 beta phase officially ended back on July 9, 2013.
