In today's update, two heads are better than one, and three heads are better than that, as the all-new Flockheart's Gamble Arcana item for Ogre Magi makes its grand debut.

Featuring all-new custom animations and effects—including a new Firelark mount, Multicast streak counter, enhanced ability effects, and more—the Flockheart's Gamble Arcana ushers in a new era of Ogre supremacy and bestows even more blessings from the Goddess of Luck. With three heads available to plan cunning new battle tactics, Ogre Magi might just be the most advanced hero Dota has ever seen.

Not content to arrive without fanfare, Flockheart's Gamble also brings with it a special Frostivus rewards line, filled with a hoard of seasonal delights like gifts, penguin-inclusive celebrations, chat wheel sounds—and even a Winter Treasure.

Win normal matchmaking games to progress along the rewards line and collect your haul. Additional Winter Treasures are available for $2.49, and feature new item sets for Ancient Apparition, Death Prophet, Treant Protector, Alchemist, Bane, Leshrac, Sven, Dark Willow, and Mirana—as well as a very rare Ursa set and extremely rare Tiny set.

* Added the Strict Solo Matchmaking option back for fast queue games
* For players with large spreads between their core and support MMRs, there is now a one medal (5 stars) max delta clamp. When the ranks for these players are maximally apart, the two ranks will fall and rise together.
* Increased the variety of party combinations that are valid, to help improve matchmaking quality and queue times in some cases, in part as a result of the strict solo queue addition (for example this means that makeups like 2-2-1 will valid)

* Bounty Runes are now locked to 5 minute intervals in terms of their gold values (so getting a 6 minute bounty isn't higher than a 5 minute one).
