Are Mods allowed?
So i kinda want to use Dota 2 Mods Installer.
Can i get banned for using that? Also i checked their list and noticed they still dont have the new rubick arcana. Will that be added? Thanks in advance!

(Note: i wanna buy the arcana yet im still broke. For the time being having a mod would suffice)

of course you can get banned for using external programs in a vac secured game.

Nope.
There are tons of terrain/skins mods I've used on this account and I have zero bans from using dota mods

Sounds super risky- either that Valve would pick up on something unusual and ban you or that you'd accidentally download a keylogger and get your account stolen.

I would advice against you to use mods. Valve relies on DotA 2 skins and whatnot to get their money. If some mods would disturb that flow of money, im pretty sure valve wont be too happy about it.

In Short. No. Better safe than sorry. And mate. if you're broke get a job or something.

Modifying the game files so you don't pay for access to the things we EARNED? :)

Sounds like you deserve a ban to me,

It's a skin. It's pixels on a screen. Jesus dude, chill.
While I wouldn't suggest using because it might have the chance to get you vac'd, it doesn't give anyone an advantage or change the game for anyone. On a side note though, if you haven't seen it, the heart breaker skin mod for bara is a thing of beauty.

Whether or not it's bannable depends on the mod, plugin or script and the method it uses to modify the game client.

I dont suggest using it. Not only youre downloading potentially malicious thing from the person sharing the ''mod'' but if valve change their policy and add modding to very high priority to ban, youll be screwed. Using mods is getting expensive items for free, and that hurts the company who made it.
Always remember, there is no such thing as ''free money'' in this world.

Well, i use it since 3 months ago and im still fine (atleast, for now).
Just be careful of what mods you are using, some mods on the internet can be injected with scripts and cheats.
Just dont download mods from youtube, might be dangerous.

That's the safest place for me to download skin mods. )

You can use if it's trusted mod and all it does is change skins for heroes. I'd suggest you to avoid using mods related to terrains. It's still risky but it's your call.

Here's the official list of trusted mods for Dota 2:

1.

That's it. There is no list of allowed mods. Anything you use is at your own risk. That's not to say that using any mod will get you banned but just so you know, it's on you.
