Well, it’s that time of the year folks. A new Dota 2 patch and a new way to exploit the nefarious Hand of Midas item. This time around, it needs a pair of heroes to work and is more complicated, but it’s still worth the effort as thousands of gold can be racked up in mere minutes.
With Patch 7.38, the entire Dota 2 map has changed, as have most of the heroes and items in the game. However, it seems that in this all-encompassing update Valve managed to break something yet again, enabling the Hand of Midas to be exploited for the umpteenth time. As explained and showcased by Reddit user LokeLok on Feb. 19, the Hand of Midas can rack up 10 extra charges over the two it gets by default. To do so, you need to purchase Hand of Midas and Holy Locket, spend all the charges for Midas and send it to a cooldown, give Midas to Dazzle, swap Midas and the Holy Locket’s inventory slots, and voila—you have 10 Hand of Midas charges now, which the user rightfully called “an abomination.”
