Dota 2 patch 7.38

Released 2025-02-18

General

Major Mechanics

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

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
Roshan no longer drops Aghanim's Blessing
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 (7:30 in Turbo)
Tormentor now grants 250 gold to each team member on death (Still grants additional 280 gold when all team members already have Aghanim's Shard)
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 (Or at Dire side in Turbo)

Due to this Roshan and Tormentor are always on opposite sides (Exceptions may apply in Turbo)

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 second lotus will take 1.05s, the third one takes 0.735s, down to a minimum of 0.3s)
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 (All remaining Lotuses in Lotus Pools will be combined and rounded up to the nearest number of Great Lotuses they could form)
Lotus Pools will now spawn Greater Lotuses after Tier 5 Neutral Items are available (All remaining Great Lotuses in Lotus Pools will be combined and rounded up to the nearest number of Greater Lotuses they could form)
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 (The values and behavior are identical to Wisdom Runes)
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 Terrain 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 (Examples: Cleave, Luna's Bouncing Glaives)
Attack damage against wards, buildings, or couriers
Spell damage against illusions, wards, buildings, or couriers
Reflected damage (Example: Blade Mail return damage)
Spells that remove Health instead of dealing direct damage (Effects that don't break Blink Dagger, like Orb of Venom or Necrophos' Heartstopper Aura)
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: (Holding Alt while looking at tooltips for these abilities will describe their interaction with 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 items

Neutral Crafting

Neutral creeps no longer drop Neutral Tokens
Neutral Stash has been removed
Neutral Items can no longer be dropped or moved to the hero’s backpack
When available, fully clearing a Neutral Creep Camp provides the player with Madstone
Collecting enough Madstone allows the player to craft a Neutral Item by selecting one Artifact and one Enchantment

Obtaining Madstone

Fully clearing a Neutral Creep Camp provides Madstone for the killing player’s team
The player who collects the Madstone receives 2 and 1 is given to a random teammate (Clearing an Ancient Creep Camp provides 3 to the killer and 2 are split between random teammates)
Dropped Madstone is automatically collected if there are no enemy heroes within an 800 unit radius of the last creep to die and there is an allied hero within 1200 units of the dead creep. Otherwise, it is left on the ground where the creep died and can be collected by either team (Dropped Madstone automatically expires after 20 seconds)
If the player who collects the Madstone is already at their limit (more info below), all of their Madstone is also evenly split between teammates

Item Tiers

Neutral Items are now composed of two parts: Artifacts & Enchantments

Artifacts are the ability of the item and can be passive and/or active
Enchantments provide passive stats and attributes to items

Similar to the previous Neutral Item System, items are arranged by Tiers

Each Tier is only available past a specific point in time (More info below)
Each Artifact belongs to a single tier
Enchantments have multiple levels and can be found in multiple tiers

Crafting

When crafting, players are given a choice of 4 Artifacts and 4 Enchantments and choose one of each

Artifacts will provide 3 options from the current tier and the last option will be to keep the current Artifact (For Tier 1, players are given 4 random choices since they have no neutral item)
Enchantments will provide 4 options from the current tier with no option to keep the current Enchantment (Given that Enchantments exist across multiple Tiers, it is possible that players can get the same Enchantment multiple Tiers in a row, but it is not guaranteed)

Crafting a Neutral Item replaces the existing Neutral Item, if there is one
Players must craft a Tier 1 Neutral Item before they can craft a Tier 2 Neutral Item (And a Tier 2 before a Tier 3, etc)
Crafting a Tier 1 Neutral Item takes 5 Madstone
Crafting Tier 2, 3, 4, or 5 Neutral Items takes 10 Madstone

Tier 5 Neutral Items can be recrafted for an escalating 10 Madstone cost (The first time a Tier 5 Neutral Item is recrafted the cost is 20 Madstone, then 30 Madstone, etc)

Madstone Limits

Players are limited in the amount of Madstone they can obtain at any given point in time
At specific intervals, the limit will increase enough to allow players to craft the next Tier of Neutral Items

At the start of the game, the Madstone Cap is 0 (No Madstone will drop from killed creep camps)
At 5:00, the Madstone Cap is increased to 5 (This is enough to craft a Tier 1 Neutral Item)
At 15:00, the Madstone Cap is increased to 15 (This is enough to craft a Tier 2 Neutral Item)
At 25:00, the Madstone Cap is increased to 25 (This is enough to craft a Tier 3 Neutral Item)
At 35:00, the Madstone Cap is increased to 35 (This is enough to craft a Tier 4 Neutral Item)
At 60:00, the Madstone Cap is increased to 45 (This is enough to craft a Tier 5 Neutral Item)
At 70:00, the Madstone Cap is removed and players can collect infinite Madstone (This is so that the player can recraft their Tier 5 Neutral Item infinite times)

Turbo

Madstone Availability times are halved in Turbo (Tier 1 items are available starting at 2:30)
Collecting Madstone results in 3 Madstone for the player and 2 for their team (Ancient Creep Camps give 4 Madstone for the primary player and 3 for their team)
