News: The most recent update for Dota 2, designated as version 7.35, introduces a variety of thrilling modifications to the game. These alterations are geared towards enriching the overall gameplay experience and introducing shifts to the current mechanics. Let’s delve into the specifics and examine the prominent features of this patch.
Neutral Creeps
The reward for Neutral Creeps has been reduced by 2 universally. Moreover, Neutral Creeps are now immune to specific buffs, including Mines, Graveyard, Statue, and Well.
Super Creeps and Mega Creeps
The attack damage of both Super Creeps and Mega Creeps has been boosted by 5, heightening their prowess in battles.
Courier Changes
The Courier’s longevity is no longer defined by a fixed health pool; instead, it now hinges on the number of attacks it sustains. Specifically, the Courier will succumb after enduring one melee hero attack, two ranged hero attacks, or six attacks from creeps or towers. Notably, the Courier is no longer capable of healing or regenerating health except when stationed in the fountain.
Fountain Adjustment
A significant adjustment has been made to the Fountain, introducing a 25% splash damage effect within a 250-radius around the target. This modification introduces an additional layer of challenge when attempting to heal or make a swift escape in close proximity to the enemy fountain.
Watchers and Teleport Times
Watchers have been newly incorporated into the Mines and Well regions, offering enhanced vision and map control. Moreover, teleport times to Outposts situated in the Radiant and Dire jungles have been trimmed down from 6 seconds to 4 seconds, facilitating swifter movement across the map.
Twin Gates Mana Cost
The mana cost for activating Twin Gates has been raised to 75. Notably, units lacking mana can now utilize Twin Gates without incurring any mana cost.
Tormentor Changes
Tormentor’s armor cannot dip below 0 anymore. Furthermore, a new ability called “The Shining” has been bestowed upon Tormentor. This skill inflicts 30 damage per second at 0.2-second intervals (equivalent to 6 damage per tick) to all units within a 1200-range radius.
Roshan Enhancements
Roshan has acquired a fresh capability named “Roar of Retribution.” When attacked by the team that most recently defeated him, Roshan unleashes a global roar, causing damage to all units within a 900 AoE and applying a debuff that amplifies incoming damage by 25%. This skill activates when Roshan’s health descends below 80%. Additionally, a novel item named “Roshan’s Banner” has been introduced. Placing the banner anywhere on the map grants a buff to allied lane creeps, boosting their health by 75% and damage by 50%. The banner persists for 5 minutes or until obliterated by 6 hero attacks. Notably, Roshan now drops Cheese and Roshan’s Banner starting from the second and third instances of his demise, respectively.
Rune Adjustments
The Double Damage Rune has undergone a nomenclature shift, now known as the Amplify Damage Rune, offering an 80% base damage bonus instead of the previous 100%. Additionally, it bestows +15% Spell Amplification. The Invisibility Rune now imparts 25% damage reduction while invisible, with an added 5% reduction for each complete rune cycle. The Haste Rune boasts an extended duration of 22 seconds, with an extra 3 seconds for every rune cycle. The Cooldown Reduction from the Arcane Rune has been reduced from 30% to 25%. Lastly, the Regeneration Rune is no longer disabled by damage but reduces the regeneration rate to 1% HP/MP per second.
Map Changes
Various trees have been eradicated from specific locations on the map, ushering in fresh strategic opportunities and reshaping the dynamics of gameplay.
AoE Radius Bonus
A novel bonus named AoE Radius has been introduced, influencing Areas of Effect by augmenting the width and radius of spells. It’s worth noting that this bonus doesn’t impact lengths and ranges already extended by Aether Lens. Presently, Bloodstone stands as the sole item offering this effect. It’s essential to recognize that auras and passive aura-like aspects of specific active spells, such as Urn’s soul gathering radius and Silencer’s INT steal range, remain unaffected by this bonus.
Bug Fixes
Numerous enduring bugs have been rectified, including the resolution of the issue where the chance for hero melee damage block erroneously stood at 49% instead of the intended 50%. Furthermore, Lotus Pool lotuses now consistently spawn at the exact commencement of each minute.

1. The Ring of Tarrasque is now categorized as a basic Secret Shop item, providing +12 Health Regeneration, with its cost remaining at 1800 gold.
2. Introducing the Tiara of Selemene, a new basic Secret Shop item priced at 1800 gold, offering +6 Mana Regeneration.

9. Arcane Boots are reworked, necessitating Boots of Speed (500), Ring of Basilius (425), and a 375 gold recipe. They no longer grant +250 Mana but provide +0.75 Mana Regeneration and the Basilius Aura, offering +1 Mana Regeneration to all allied units within a 1200 radius. Disassembling is no longer possible.
