Dota 2 doesn't even need internal bug-finders with the help it gets from some of its most observant fans.

A Dota 2 player, with assistance from others, compiled on Reddit a long list of bugs that they've found since the game's 7.00 patch (and 7.01 patch) released in mid-December. The post is over 4,000 words long and contains over 175 different bugs ranging from game-crashing actions to minor grammatical errors. That is one dedicated Dota 2 player.

Some of the biggest bugs include the game crashing when clicking on showcases while editing your profile, hotkeys not working on the draft screen, the draft screen hanging on the screen if you wait too long to pick in Captain's Mode, Aghanim's Scepter affecting Luna and Sniper's abilities, not being able to sell teammates' items after they abandon games, and All Random Deathmatch not working.

Though the list is long, bugs are a fairly normal occurrence in game updates. Valve has been diligent in fixing a lot of the bugs that have popped up since 7.00, sharing regular updates on the Dota 2 blog.

You can check the full list of bugs gathered so far to see if any of your favorite heroes are experiencing issues. A lot of the bugs are very specific, so you can avoid them if you're careful.

Most of the bugs on DimnitrijaT's list aren't egregious. Sure, some are causing the game to crash for individual players, but at least it's nothing like the Vengeful Spirit bug from 2014.
