The Wintry Treasure mishap
As per each new season of Dota plus, there is always a fresh seasonal treasure to come alongside theupdate. And with the Holidays right around the corner, the new sets of the Wintry Treasure 2022 are all frozen themed. This treasure includes eight sets for Lifestealer, Storm Spirit, Vengeful Spirit, Spirit Breaker, Oracle, Night Stalker, Elder Titan and Sven. Each set is normally new, but the sets for Lifestealer and Night Stalker were released in the 2022 Battle Pass and the HalloweenDiretideevent. However, they got small color updates to match the frozen theme of the treasure.
Lifestealer’s set, Obsidian Atrocity, was featured in the Battle Pass Collection 2022 as one of the possible set rewards. Although both sets are almost identical outside of the secondary colors, the Battle Pass variant has ambient effects, while the Wintry Treasure 2022 style does not.
On the other hand, the Night Stalker set was originally released back during the Halloween Diretide event. The set was one of many available treasures available at the event. Although it has the same name in Wintry Treasure 2022, the Frightful Revelries set has only a slight color change.
Regardless, Valve did apologize about the Wintry Treasure in ablog post.They’ve now adjusted both sets to have alternate styles to match the previous iteration of the set. Although this should not be a mistake for a major company like Valve, as some community members havepointed out. At the end of the day, mistakes do happen and it was resolved without issue.
