Valve has introduced a playful Year of the Snake Easter egg in Dota 2, causing players' "S" key to output triple S's in the game's text chat. This change arrived with the January 29 update that included the "Charms of the Snake" treasure.

The community quickly noticed the serpentine surprise, with many players initially thinking their keyboards were malfunctioning. A Reddit thread emerged where players shared their confusion and eventual amusement at Valve's snake-themed joke.

However, the update has sparked controversy due to the new sets being untradeable. This marks a significant change from previous "ultra rare" sets, which could be traded and sold on the Steam community market, allowing players to recover some of their investment.

The Dota 2 community is now anticipating a major gameplay update, expected to arrive on February 6, as the current Crownfall act draws to a close. Until then, players will continue to experience the slithering side effects of Valve's seasonal celebration.
