Dota 2 is a constantly evolving title, as are most MOBAs, and Valve has issued a new patch for the game.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Will Have No Loading Screens For Open World Travel
The changes in version 6.84 are now live in the Dota 2 Test Client, and will be coming to the Main Client later this week. The patch makes various adjustments to gameplay as well as a swath of changes specific to different abilities and characters.
Valve also notes that The International is drawing near, and so the next Compendium will be launching later this week. The teams competing at The International will also be announced soon, so keep an eye out.
