The Dota 2 community has been busy complaining about the poor quality of Level 2000 Physical Baby Roshan statues. The Baby Roshan statues are a perk for players reaching Level 2000 on the TI7 Battle-Pass. For such a large amount of money, one would expect finesse and some really good quality craftsmanship.

How much does a Level 2000 Battle-Pass cost?

A level 2000 Battle-Pass costs upwards of $800. The rewards may be repeated as we head closer to Level 2000, but most of the users who do get to Level 2000 do it for the Collector’s Baby Roshan. It is a crafty perk sitting high atop the levels, one that very few would be able to purchase.

Announcing a new exclusive physical reward available to all Battle Pass owners who reach Battle Level 2000, the Collector’s Baby Roshan statue! Additionally, as a way to show off your achievement in-game, all Level 2000 players will have a custom version of Roshan replace his default form. To claim your 8.5cm x 9cm, nickel silver-finished Baby Roshan at Level 2000, please ensure that you have visited the Collector’s Aegis registration site to provide your shipping and contact information for the Level 1000 Reward. You will need to use your Steam account credentials in order to access the site, and the same shipping information will be used to send both the Collector’s Aegis and Collector’s Baby Roshan. If you have a Level 2000 Battle Pass and previously registered for this year’s Level 1000 reward, you’re already set. Deliveries are limited to one statue per registered account and will begin this fall. Registration is required to receive your Baby Roshan, so make sure to sign up before August 25th. Once registration closes, enrolled players will be contacted with more information regarding shipment and customer support. Please note that all communication regarding your shipment will be sent to the email address you provide during registration, so make sure to provide accurate shipping and contact information

So it wasn’t wrong for buyers to expect an 8.5cm x 9cm, nickel silver-finished Baby Rosh. The reality was quite different from what was promised. The quality of the Statues was sub-par with users comparing them with a $10 statue. The statues definitely need better finish as well as quality.

Valve will reship 2017 Collector’s Baby Roshan

With the poor quality of the TI7 Baby Roshans, users were already rethinking their decision to buy the TI8 Level 2000 battle pass.

I still don’t have my baby roshan and I leveled to 3350 last year, not even buying the battlepass this year. Between the TERRIBLE communication and not knowing if I’ll ever get this or not, I’m not even attempting to support this shit at all.

The massive community feedback forced Valve to release a statement about the Baby Roshans. They will be shipping new models very soon and apologized to the fans. It is a short statement which addresses the situation.

It has come to our attention that the physical Baby Roshan reward for last year’s Battle Pass has had poor production quality yields. We apologize to our fans for that, it is well below the quality we expected. We are going to start from scratch on new production for the statue, and prioritize delivering it as soon as possible to every customer that reached level 2000 last year.

Does the same Level 2000 reward make sense?

The TI8 Battle pass offers the same reward for reaching 2000 levels. Many users got their hands on the Level 2000 Baby Roshans. It would not be enticing for these users to buy the same reward all over again. Most of the users who level up their Baby Roshans do so to ensure the prize which is extremely rare.

But with Valve offering the same reward at Level 2000 this year, we have to wonder if people will add levels to their compendium at all. For now, users have to wait for sometime to receive their new 2017 Collector’s Baby Roshan.
