I’m a veteran player who played way back in beta testing where Wraith king was still called skeleton king and also played DOTA 2 1 prior to DOTA 2(I miss my Garena days). Most of the players I’ve played with are also veterans, I don’t think DOTA is dying cause there are a lot of players still playing the game and also the meta changes are good every patch(no it isn’t). What do you think does Valve need to do to invite young people to the pro scene, increase it’s younger players and invite them to play the game aside from advertising?

    Here’s a guide to get more young players:

    • Get rid of a lot of complex mechanics
    • Lower all cooldowns
    • Re-introduce the jungle as a lane option
    • Increase all gold bounties
    • Introduce a seasonal battle pass with premium & free tier and small rewards
    • Lower the health of everything (heroes, creeps, buildings)
    • Pay streamers to promote the game
    • Partner with (TikTok) influencers and introduce branded skins

    There you go.
    I doubt the current playerbase (including me) would like that though.
