Valve has finally released the Dueling Fates Patch Update which includes a new magic damage heavy support hero known as Dark Willow. According to her lore, Mireska Sunbreeze also known as the Dark Willow is a spiteful fairy who set off with her pet wisp Jex to live a life of a wandering grifter after burning down her family estate.
In the battlefields of Dota 2, she is a ranged intelligence hero who has a powerful array of disables and nukes attacks, which allows her to play several positions in the game.
