Dota 2 patch 7.10 brings a whopping number of mid-season changes

While it’s no major patch, this biweekly patch is more than minor, affecting half of the hero pool

Another two weeks has passed, and now, Icefrog and Valve bring us another patch to spice up Dota 2. So far, the patches have actually kept to being pretty minor, tweaking the gameplay enough to keep the playing field interesting. For 7.10, though, more than half of the hero roster is getting played around with — for better or worse.

Most of these are changes to talents, but quite a few have some ability and mechanic tweaks. For instance, Gyrocopter’s Homing Missile needs to be played a bit more wisely early-game, as its first three levels have increased cooldown — and an extra 25 gold bounty. Terrorblade’s Reflection, his key illusion-creating ability, doesn’t bring down the attack speed of enemies around him.

Ursa’s Fury Swipes now have a higher staying duration on Roshan, going up from 6 to 10 seconds, so he can have a better shot at the Aegis, and Lycan will be swiping less furiously with a base damage reduction of 3. Plus, if Bloodseeker pops Bloodrage but can’t manage the last hit on a dying hero, he still gets recovered half of what he would have if he’d gotten the last hit.

Bountry Rune is seeing yet another change, but this time, it’s a complete nerf, as its XP component has been entirely stripped. Also, as with most patches, there are tweaks to plenty of other things. Monkey King Bar now has a proc noise, and Boots of Speed is an extra 100 gold — but provides an extra 10 movement speed.

There’s plenty more to see, and we’ve got all the changes listed below.
