These guys don’t specialize in just one attribute and instead get 0.6 damage for each point they have in any attribute. In addition to these changes, there is also a new hero type – Universal heroes. Defender’s gates are one-way emergency back doors on each base, or as Valve puts it, “Defender’s Gate combines the sparkly high fantasy of Dota with the practicality of doors on your house that you can lock when you go to the grocery store to destroy its Ancient.”.Two new power runes: wisdom runes on the map’s edge and near bases give XP, while shield runes in the river give a barrier equal to half your max HP.Two new outposts, the original ones have been repositioned too.That’s handy because outposts no longer grant vision or True Sight. Eight watchers scattered across the map grant vision to whichever team activates them.Neutral creep minibosses called tormentors spawn near the bases 20 minutes into a match.Lotus pools on the map’s left and right spawn healing lotus that gives mana as well as HP.Roshan also uses them to move between his pits. Twin gates let you teleport between the top and bottom lane.

Four new named areas: The Well, The Graveyard, The Statue, and The Mines.

Even though the lanes remain in the same positions, there’s now more space to roam around and check out what’s happening between them. Valve has really gone all out with this patch, making some major changes to the matchmaking algorithm, tweaking the interface, introducing a new hero type, and balancing a bunch of stuff.īut the biggest change by far is the map expansion, which now offers a whopping 40% more terrain to explore.
