Today’s patch unveils the 7.02 Gameplay Update, focusing on numerous small balance adjustments. Including adjustments to hero talents, shrines, terrain, and the addition of Lycan to Captains Mode, this update features multiple balance changes in the wake of launching The New Journey.


General Changes



• Shrines are now vulnerable after a T3 tower dies (same as the Shrines inside the base), rather than after all T2 towers die
• Sentry Wards now come in packs of 1 for 100 gold (instead of 2 for 200)
• Added Lycan to CM

• Satyr Trickster Purge slow from 100/80/60/40/20% over 5 seconds to 50/40/30/20/10%
• Helm of the Dominator All Stats from 6 to 4
• Helm of the Dominator creeps now give a constant 125 gold bounty
• Shadow Walk damage for Silver Edge from 225 to 200
• Tome of Knowledge additional XP per used Tome from 100 to 135
• Blademail damage return no longer spell lifesteals off of returned damage
• Dragon Lance agility from 14 to 13
• Battle Fury Radius from 280 to 300
• Battle Fury Distance from 520 to 570
• Bloodthorn cooldown from 11 to 13
• Solar Crest Armor from 10 to 12 (same for transferring to Ally/Enemy)
• Sange maim chance from 24% to 30%
• Sange and Yasha Greater Maim chance from 30% to 35%
• Heaven's Halberd maim chance from 24% to 35%
• Heaven's Halberd cooldown from 30 to 22
• Regen Rune now has the same damage dispel rules as Healing Salve
• Aegis expiration regen now has the same damage dispel rules as Healing Salve

• Observer Wards now have a Fog of War simulator to show you the area the ward will reveal (taking into account trees and terrain height)

• Towers no longer attack neutral team units
• The following abilities cause neutrals to temporarily not draw aggro: Meat Hook, Telekinesis and Toss

• Added more trees for TP cover around the dire towers
• Swapped the dire secondary jungle ancients and medium camp spots (and improved spawn boxes/stackability)
• The Dire ward spot to the left of the Ancients no longer gives vision over the rune area infront of Roshan
• Slightly adjusted the dire secondary jungle bounty rune further back
• Reduced spawnbox size for both Dire hard camps
• Shifted down the spawnbox for the ancient camp (formerly medium camp) in the Dire secondary jungle (so a high ground ward does not block the camp)
• Fixed a rare case where Dire ancients could be stuck between trees when spawning
