Valve has released a major update for Dota 2. In version 7.38, the developers have significantly changed the attributes of most heroes and numerous items.

Much like the galactic water miners in the movie and possibly the book Dune Part 2, Dota has always been the only game in any genre that believes water is the most valuable resource in both the Dune-iverse and our universe, the universe. It's kind of crazy, then, that it's taken more than a decade for us to finally prove that bold claim by saying it out loud in print.

And if that was all we did, it would be enough. But we didn't stop there. We've re-made the river that runs through the Dota map. Not only is it wider, its current can speed your movement. Conversely, the new river's new evolving, amphibious creeps can drastically slow your movement by killing you.

And that's not all: How about a new resource! "Waterstone?" you say. In retrospect, that would have made sense. But it's actually called "Madstone" and you can use it to craft your own unique neutral items. Which is crazy, so the name actually fits pretty well.

We've also made some other map updates, replaced wisdom runes with much cooler wisdom shrines, and made a bunch of quality of life changes. It's all too much to detail in one blog post, which means you'd be out of luck unless we made a page dedicated to describing all the stuff in great detail.

Valve

Water Changes

Dota's map-dividing waterway has always been little more than a watery line in the sand, separating the warring factions of Radiant and Dire. But the river has finally broken its banks, flooding up to the high grounds and reshaping the field (and flow) of battle.

All these new waterways in the jungles aren't just an upgrade to the scenery. Running with the current will give you a speed boost towards your safe lane, without slowing you down if you're running against the flow.

New Neutral Creeps

The creep camps are also getting refreshed in Wandering Waters, in the form of a new amphibious creep type that evolves from Pollywog to Boglet to Croaker throughout the match.

Shrines

Wisdom Runes have been relocated and replaced with Shrines of Wisdom. You can still snag experience for yourself and an ally, but now instead of plucking a rune off the ground, you'll need to stand in the shrine to earn the XP. The wrinkle? The shrine won't activate if there's an enemy hero in there with you. You'll have to earn a little privacy to bag the boon.

Blood in the Water

As with Wisdom Shrines, you'll now need to stand inside a Lotus Pool to collect its Lotus. Enemies in the area will stop the pool from activating, so make sure you're swimming alone.

New Roshan position

Roshan’s two pits have been relocated to the river, with new lairs near the two Power Runes. Roshan will spawn into the southern pit at the start of the match, but when daylight decides it’s time to make a move, he’ll walk the total distance between the two pits, tossing around any units he meets along the way.

New Tormentor

Tormentors no longer spawn near each team's base. Instead, a single Tormentor will spawn at one of two locations in the corners of the map, depending on the time of day—which also means it'll always appear on the opposite side as Roshan. Amongst a bunch of other adjustments, the Tormentor's also got a new ability that will leave behind a helpful healing AoE after it dies.

New Resource

Introducing Madstone, a new resource that lets you craft Neutral Items unique to your playstyle and the circumstances of the match.

The first step to getting custom Neutral Items is fully clearing a Neutral Creep camp. This will now earn you Madstone—two for yourself and one for a random ally.

Step two: Save up Madstone to craft personalized Neutral Items. Each neutral is now made up of two parts—an Artifact that gives your item new abilities, and an Enchantment that gives it passive stat/attribute bonuses.

There are five tiers of Artifacts and Enchantments available at specific windows throughout a match. Check out your team's crafting progress and help clear out camps to spread the wealth.

Browse every combination of Artifact and Enchantment in the updated Neutrals tab while in-game. Spectators can easily see every hero's crafting history.

New Roshan Timer

Hover over the Roshan timer next to the minimap for an extra hint on whether everyone's favorite Neutral Creep boss is still pushing up scryweed in the Underhollow or might have already returned topside.

Mark For Sell

Set an item to immediately be sold when you're (alive) in your base or at the Secret Shop. Better yet, your courier's already up to speed on the changes and will take any marked items back to the fountain when it delivers a payload.

Item Targeting Effects

We've added a host of item visual effects—from Glimmer Cape to Lotus Orb and much more—to help better communicate which hero is the source of the item's effects.

All Attributes Display

See at a glance which talent tree attributes you've skilled up so far.

HUD Timers

You used to have to search all over the map to see all the various Dota Plus game timers. Thankfully, you can now just hold ALT to see the status of those timers at the top of your screen—you know, just in case you need to ping the time to your allies to remind them to do something important before your enemy does.

Backpack

A crucial item delivery in the midst of a teamfight should be a moment of game-turning triumph, not a moment of watching your team die one second before your backpack cooldown resets. To that aspirational end, you can now drag newly acquired items out of your backpack without the six-second cooldown period and put them to use immediately.

General Updates

• Universal Heroes' damage per attribute decreased from 0.7 to 0.45. As a result, many heroes have had their Base Damages and attribute gains changed.
• Skill points can now be spent on All Attributes starting at level 2 instead of level 6.
• Reflected spells now benefit from all bonuses the original cast had, including the following: Caster's facet upgrades, Bonuses from talents, Aghanim's Shard and Aghanim's Scepter upgrades (Upgrades used to depend on Aghanim's items the reflecting unit had).
• Slow Resistance now also increases minimum movement speed by the slow resist percentage. 20% Slow Resistance increases your minimum movement speed from 100 to 120.
• Glyph of Fortification: Creep duration decreased from 4s to 3s.
• Units no longer gain bonus movement speed during the night.
• Items that have entered a Hero's backpack for the very first time now have a 3 second grace period where they can be swapped into the main inventory without any cooldown. This can only happen once per item per Hero.

Wandering Waters

• The top and bottom outer rim areas are now flooded by streams of traversable water.
• These streams have a current, starting near the T3 towers (right before the medium camp location), down to the T1 towers (former Twin Gate location).
• Going downstream increases current and max movement speed, while going upstream inflicts no penalty. Streams are separated by two zones: ones with a 'strong current' which provides up to 150 bonus movement speed and ones with a 'moderate current' which provides up to 100 bonus speed. The current is 'strong' from stream beginnings near each base up to the waterfalls near T2 towers. All other stream sections are considered to have a 'moderate current'. Bonus value depends on the faced direction, ranging from 100% while going downstream to 0% at 90 degrees
• Watchers, camps and pathways in the areas have been slightly adjusted to give way for the stream.
• Radiant and Dire main jungles now also have a stream with moderate current, starting near the easy camp close to the mid T1 towers. They join the outer streams, crossing the safelane near the T2 towers.

Map Objectives Changes

Roshan

• Roshan is back in the river, with one pit located near each sidelane.
• Top lair is slightly closer to Dire's jungle entrance, and bottom one is closer to Radiant's.
• Only the active Roshan pit will show as a minimap icon.
• Roshan initially spawns in the Bottom Pit.
• Starting at 15:00, Roshan will follow the day/night cycle, walking across the river towards his designated pit: Top at night and Bottom at day.
• Roshan no longer has bonus movement speed while moving between pits.
• Roshan now has basic 25% Slow Resistance and an additional 25% Slow Resistance when running between pits.
• When running into a hero while moving between pits, Roshan will stop and grab them before violently throwing them away. Upon landing, heroes are stunned for 1s and take 200 pure damage + 0.5% of target's current health per minute of game time. Each time Roshan throws a hero, he gains 70 bonus movement speed and increases throw damage by additional 100 until he reaches his destination pit. After 5 throws Roshan ignores heroes on his way.
• Throw distance: 1500. Max bonus movespeed: 300. Can be blocked by spell-blocking abilities and items, like Linken's Sphere, but can't be reflected. Heroes will be thrown away from Roshan based on their relative position to him.
• Added a Roshan icon near the minimap that shows Roshan's state (alive, dead, maybe alive) and location.
• If Roshan is dead, the status will also include a timer until his possible respawn
• Since Roshan's respawn takes between 8 to 11 minutes, during this window the status will say that he may be alive, but also include a timer until the guaranteed respawn.
• If a team gains vision over Roshan or Roshan's Roar of Retribution is heard during this status, the timer will be updated to inform that Roshan is alive.
• Templar Assassin's Third Eye Innate will cause the icon to display exactly when and where Roshan will respawn.
• Roar of Retribution: Now also applies a 2s Disarm on all affected units. Radius decreased from 900 to 600. Cast point increased from 0.1s to 0.5s. Cooldown increased from 20s to 60s.
• Roshan's knockback now has a 2s cooldown before it can be applied to the same unit again
• Added a unique attack animation for Bash, as well as new animation and particles for Roar of Retribution

Tormentor

• Tormentor spawns repositioned to the corners of the map.
• There is only a single Tormentor active at a time.
• Tormentor now spawns for the first time at 15:00.
• Tormentor now grants 250 gold to each team member on death.
• Tormentor is also dependent on the day and night cycle, so it's at Radiant side at night and at Dire's side at day. As a result, it will always appear at the Radiant side first.
• Due to this Roshan and Tormentor are always on opposite sides.
• Tormentor's abilities now scale with game time instead of the number of deaths.
• Unyielding Shield: Damage absorb rescaled from 2500 + (200 per death) to 1900 + (20 per minute of game time).
• Unyielding Shield: Barrier regeneration rescaled from 100 + (100 per death) to 30 + (5 per minute of game time).
• Reflect: Damage percentage rescaled from 90 + (20 per death) to 50 + (2 per minute of game time).
• The Shining: Damage per second increased from 30 to 60.
• The Shining: Radius decreased from 1200 to 1000.
• Alleviation: New ability. After dying, the Tormentor leaves behind a 900 radius aura that increases health regeneration of all units in the area by 2% of their Max Health. Lasts 15s.

Lotus Pools

• Changed the way Healing Lotuses are collected from Lotus Pools: Lotus Pools now have three entrances and an empty region in the center. Heroes will automatically gather lotuses when within 350 units of the center of a pool as long as they have available space in their inventory. The first Lotus takes 1.5s to collect, and each subsequent lotus in a row takes 30% less time. The timer only counts down when all heroes within range are on the same team, pausing if an enemy hero enters the area, and resuming when enemies leave. If multiple allied heroes are all within range, the Lotus will be granted to a random hero.
• Lotus Pools will now spawn Great Lotuses after Tier 4 Neutral Items are available.
• Lotus Pools will now spawn Greater Lotuses after Tier 5 Neutral Items are available.

Shrines of Wisdom

• Wisdom Runes removed and replaced with new buildings: Shrines of Wisdom.
• Shrines of Wisdom are located in the offlane side jungles between the Tier 1 and 2 towers where the Ancient camps used to be.
• The Shrines will activate every 7 minutes, glowing and filling with experience
• To gather the experience from an activated Shrine, a hero must stand within 300 units for 3s.
• Like Lotus Pools, the Shrine will not count down time if an enemy hero contests by standing within the effect radius, and will resume only if the enemy hero leaves the area or is killed.
• Experience will be granted to a random hero within 300 units of the Shrine and also to their teammate with the lowest experience.

Bounty Runes

• Spawn interval increased from 3 minutes to 4 minutes.
• Gold provided after the initial set rescaled from 36 + (9 per 5 minutes) to 40 + (6 per 4 minutes).

Other Changes

• The region specific map buffs (Mighty Mines, etc.) have been removed.
• Corner outposts have been removed.
• The Twin Gates have been repositioned to the corners of the map on a new high ground area near Tormentors.
• Touched up the map in general. Slightly adjusted neutral camps, trees, and cliffs.

Lifesteal

• Individual abilities no longer have special rules about how lifesteal works in different situations (heroes vs creeps vs illusions, damage types, etc.). Lifesteal mechanics are now consistent across every ability.
• Lifesteal applies to physical damage from attacks and is reduced by 40% when damaging non-heroes.
• Spell Lifesteal now applies to physical damage from spells and magical damage from spells or attacks and is reduced by 80% when damaging non-heroes.
• Neither Lifesteal nor Spell Lifesteal applies to pure damage.
• Holding Alt while looking at items that provide Lifesteal or Spell Lifesteal will show the lifesteal percentages for attacking and casting spells, and targeting creeps vs heroes.
• The following sources and targets do not provide any lifesteal: Attacks that do not proc Attack Modifiers. Attack damage against wards, buildings, or couriers. Spell damage against illusions, wards, buildings, or couriers. Reflected damage. Spells that remove Health instead of dealing direct damage. Any damage dealt to self or allies.
• A small number of abilities that do not use Lifesteal or Spell Lifesteal still result in healing and can benefit from Lifesteal Amp: Lifestealer's Open Wounds heals attackers for a percentage of the damage done. Lifestealer's Feast heals for a percentage of the target's max health. Meepo's Ransack heals all Meepos a flat amount for each strike.

Neutral Creep Updates

Flooded Camps

• Neutral Creep Camps that reside within a stream are considered Flooded Camps.
• Flooded Camps are populated with new amphibian neutral creeps.
• These camps are: Easy camp on the rim between tier 1 and tier 2 towers. Medium camp on the rim near tier 2 tower. Medium camp in the main jungle that was on the stream's way and used to be a Hard camp.
• As the tides of the battle rise, creeps in these special camps evolve.
• Every 5 minutes one of the creeps in that camp will be forever upgraded to a next tier.
• Each camp consists of 3 units. As a result, at 15:00 Easy camp completely turns into a Medium camp, and both Medium camps will become Hard ones. At 30:00 Medium camp will become a Hard one, and both Hard camps will evolve to Ancient ones.
• Each creep can only be upgraded twice, meaning an Easy camp will never reach an Ancient status (sorry, Pollywogs).
• Units are not upgraded if the camp is blocked. Amount of upgraded units can't be increased, so if there is only 1 Ancient creep, attempting to stack that camp will not create another Ancient creep.
• These camps consist of the following creeps: Easy camp is three Pollywogs. Medium camp is two Boglets and a Marshmage Apprentice. Hard camp is two Croakers and a Marshmage. Ancient camp is two Ancient Croakers and an Ancient Marshmage. The new neutral creeps are detailed below.
