New Technologies in Dota

[shaileshgarg]

Recently there have been updates in the game that removed support for older APIs, like opengl, dx9. Valve is moving Dota and in general Source 2 engine to newer technologies. Recently they added Nvidia Reflex.

What new technologies and techniques would we want to see in Dota. My top requests are:

• Directx12, if Valve can improve Vulkan performace than that would also work
• Direct Storage
• Mesh Shaders
• RTX?

Not related to the above, I would also want a redesign of the Dota Client, if has become very clunky over time by new feature additions over time. Just look the Fantacy/DPC dropdown from the Watch Tab.
