We’ve already speculated thatNetflix’s Dota: Dragon’s Blood anime is just one huge teaserfor Selemene, the Goddess of the Moon joining the Dota 2 roster as its 121st hero.

To add some weight to that theory, Valve’s teaser post for patch 7.29 shows a dark purple color scheme, similar to Selemene’s. This is very different compared toValve’s previous 7.28and7.27 patch notesposts, which used a different artwork design.
