Dota 2 show only default skins
Add an option to enable a "Default Skins" mode in Dota 2.
- Performance Drops: New cosmetics and custom effects cause random FPS drops. For example, the Puck Illusory Orb effect on some skins drops my framerate down to 20 - 30 FPS from a stable 120 FPS.
- Ruined Glance Value: Certain arcana sets, like those for Venge and Sky, red viper and green DK look almost identical. This completely ruins the "glance value" required to identify heroes instantly.
- Pay-to-W/L Cosmetics: Items like the CM dog persona skins is pay to lose, as you can see the pet running across the screen when ever you tp /gate. ES Q showed number of people hit even in fog of war so you can blink echo.
- Broken Animations: Certain skins for Monkey King make it impossible to clearly see his abilities or last hit animations.
Adding a toggle to turn off custom cosmetics would significantly reduce random new bugs, improve game performance, and glance value.
