Not receiving item drops

When the October 30th update came to Dota, I've no longer received any cosmetic item drops at all.

The update reads as follows:

"The current item drop system doesn't function well as a reward mechanism. It drops many items on players who aren't interested in them (the items are extremely common, or they're for a hero the player doesn't play), and in the process dilutes the value of the items. We'd like to get to a place where dramatically fewer uninteresting items enter the economy. We don't have a complete solution yet, so we're going to move forward step by step, taking feedback from you as we go.

Item drops are now entirely time based instead of level based.
Drop list now includes full sets, treasures, bundles and Arcana items at a rare rate instead of frequently dropping common items.
Battle boosters have been removed from the game entirely (we actually removed them from the store in September).
Players with an active battle booster will receive a free Treasure of the Rotted Gallows.
Players who had an unused purchased battle booster in their armory will receive a free Treasure Redemption Token."

I gained periodic common items until this update, but now I no longer receive any item drops at all. I don't believe the "rare rate" the game mentioned meant to last for many profile levels...

A few weird things that led me to believe something is bugged:

The update mentioned unused battle boosters will be rewarded with a separate treasure - I had an unused booster and never received anything; it just disappeared with the update.

The Dota wiki mentions a "present" system for profile levels, with presents containing cosmetic items every 5 levels or so. I haven't seen a present in more than 5 levels; those too disappeared with the update.

The only rewards I earned after the update were during the P.A. event.

I don't mean to be picky about not earning cosmetic items with no effect on gameplay, but if there's anything I can do to fix this possible issue, I'd appreciate the help. :)

well i can say with certainty that the drops are real and they are ... pretty darn good.

i got a Pudge legendary set the one with the tassels and rot animation.

i got a huskar set (PA EVENT )and an LD set (non PA event). oh and a brood set and i think a set for kunkka with the special animation. oh and a think a treasure as well OH the one with the centaur set yea.

the thing is im level 250 or 300 i cant remember ... heres the thing though

i play like 10+ games a day on a good day and 5 on a slow one. so i kinda am on for longer then most people which is basically what the update says.

now cosmetics. i have increased my level like 10-15 levels i think since the patch and i keep getting rare or uncommon cosmetics randomly. so it is there.

i have a friend who plays like 2 games a day and hes been doing it for months and he has nothing to show for it so i think it has to do with "time Played" more so then anything.

dlhf.

Been playing the last 3 months didnt get a single item yet.

Fak.

Well drops got much rarer (I didn't even know such word exist), but now you're getting whole set bundles instead of single items. What that means is that you should get at least 3-4 times less drops to balance ****, but if you pray to the RNJesus well then you may get a nice mythic/legendary set.

I think you missed the point of my post. I know how the update works, but I'm not getting anything at all, rather than 3-4 times less items.

how much do you play?

I'm not that high leveled. I only play semi-rarely, so I'm only level 15.
I see that the drop system may be based off of time played, but it still doesn't explain the weird things with the "presents" and battle booster.
