Dota 2 Patch Notes

{STEAM_CLAN_LOC_IMAGE}/3703047/5179a724ee3987b0b0dab399b9ef2eaba7b2abf4.png The International approaches and we've just released an update that includes predictions, fantasy, supporter bundles, and a chance to prove your skills and win new Immortals and unlock terrains. But that's not all. Today we're also releasing patch 7.41e. Even that's not everything, though. Dota is a complicated game, and while we greatly enjoy the creativity and diligence of the dedicated players who find intricate and absurd bugs, we also like *fixing* those bugs. So today we're also releasing the Summer Scrub, a huge collection of new features as well as fixes for gameplay and content bugs, ranging from Abaddon's taunt to Zeus's Dota Plus challenge. The list is too long for this post, so we made a whole page just to list all the changes.

Over the past few days we've made various bug fixes and improvements: Dark Carnival Playing Regular and Turbo games now reward Scrap tickets. 6 Scrap can be traded for a Hero ticket of your choice. Regular games reward 2, Turbo games reward 1. Scrap is rewarded regardless of winning or losing.

Fresh Dota 2 patch notes have just dropped, and that means the meta will start to creak and shift under the weight of Valve's latest balance adjustments. There are some welcome changes in Dota 2 update 7.41d, along with a few that I'm sure people will question, and even a nice quality-of-life buff. The line that's got people talking, however, is a mysterious footnote for Axe that doesn't appear to have any current meaning. Is it a clue hinting at the next addition to the MOBA? My heart tells me yes.

Patch 7.41d is out now and you can check out the patch notes here. In addition, we've recently addressed the following issues: Fixed Greevils not spawning their equipped effects Fixed Earthshaker's Planetfall Arcana not tracking combos and combo damage properly Fixed right click on Dota Labs Overlay Map not working when "Auto-Repeat Right Mouse" is enabled Fixed Bottle with a stored Rune being able to be moved in and out of the backpack Fixed Harmonizer not considering abilities with charges on cooldown Fixed Elder Titan's Astral Spirit's movement speed not taking Wind Lace into account Fixed Elder Titan's Echo Stomp shard not swapping places with Astral Spirit if he is being moved by another ability when the stomp goes off Fixed Invoker not receiving an Aghanim's Blessing from Alchemist if Alchemist casts Aghanim's Scepter on Invoker when his main inventory is full but the backpack had space Fixed Alchemist being able to repeatedly give Invoker Aghanim's Blessings if Invoker hasn't chosen his Aghanim's Scepter upgrade Fixed Invoker not correctly being refunded for his Aghanim's Blessing if Invoker has not selected an Aghanim's Scepter upgrade and Alchemist casts Aghanim's Scepter on him Fixed Spirit Bear's permanently consumed items not counting towards Lone Druid's net worth Fixed Spirit Breaker permanently changing teams when he reflects Venomancer's Noxious Plague with Lotus Orb and then casts Planar Pocket on Venomancer before Noxious Plague spreads, then after it spreads to a neutral creep Venomancer uses Helm of the Dominator on that creep Fixed Venomancer being able to Transmute Spirit Breaker with Hand of Midas through the same process Fixed Wraith King's Vampiric Spirit not turning Wraith King into a wraith if he levels up at the same time as dying Ability Draft: Fixed Forge Spirit starting at too high a level Ability Draft: Fixed Brewmaster's old Aghanim's Scepter being available

New <strong>Dota 2 7.41c</strong> patch notes have arrived to shake up the meta once again, and Valve is bringing some of the most impactful heroes in line with targeted nerfs across the roster.
