Dota 2 is moving away from the battle pass model as Valve says there are better uses of dev time and most players 'never buy' one anyway (www.pcgamer.com)

The studio is shifting away from battle passes to release more varied content at a more regular pace.

I give dota 2 a pass on any shitty monetization for cosmetics since they give all new heroes for free. I've played too many f2p games that don't do this, and new characters tend to be OP for some reason...

I never really played Dota 2, but the monetization is a prime example how a Free to Play model should be in my opinion.
