Dota 2 Axe Missing: Why Can't Players Pick Axe Anymore?

Dota 2 players were stunned after Valve suddenly removed Axe from the game. The legendary hero can no longer be picked in most game modes, randomed, or even used in Demo Mode. Instead, Axe's hero portrait has been replaced with a mysterious Wanted poster. But this isn't a bug. Many fans believe the removal is part of Valve's buildup to the upcoming Dark Carnival event, which has been teased through datamined files, hidden clues, and connections to Ringmaster's storyline. In this video, we explain why Axe disappeared, what the Dark Carnival event could bring, and the theories suggesting Axe may return as a new Arcana, Persona, or even a mechanical version of himself. Is Valve preparing one of the biggest Dota 2 events in years?
