Peak player numbers were down too, with 889,000 today, versus 934,000 last month. This continues an overall decline in player numbers from earlier in the year. That accounts for almost 100,000 active players, with Steamcharts tracking just shy of 607,000 players regularly duking it out in August, versus just 511,000 in September. But despite all of that, since the Reborn update, DotA 2 has lost 16 per cent of its player base, so some of you must have jumped ship when the patch landed. The recent Reborn update to DotA 2 improved performance, added the level systems, fixed a number of crashes and bugs and added the new treasury. It seems like an odd question, asking whether one of the bigger updates to one of the most popular games in the world would make you stop playing.
