The latest patch for the popular game includes a range of updates and fixes that are sure to please players. Among the general updates are improvements to Flagbearer Creep bonus gold for allies, fixes to Grimstroke’s Ink Swell heal, and adjustments to Gyrocopter’s Level 25 Talent. Other fixes include adjustments to Keeper of the Light’s Illuminate, Legion Commander’s Moment of Courage, and Lich’s Ice Spire.

In terms of item updates, Blade Mail has received a boost with an increase in Active Damage Return from 80% to 85%. The Active Damage Return no longer interrupts channeling when cast. The Ward aura has also been adjusted to no longer reduce Magical or Pure damage, though it still affects physical damage from attacks and spells. Overall, these updates are sure to enhance the gaming experience for players.
Dota 2 Update – 12/6/2022
The recently released Wintry Treasure 2022 unintentionally reused two already shipped sets. As a result, we’re making a few fixes:
- The Lifestealer Cold Rage set is now a second style on the Obsidian Atrocity set. That set can be received either from the Wintry Treasure 2022 or The Battle Pass Collection 2022, and both the red and blue styles are unlocked no matter where the set was received from.
- The Night Stalker Harvest Night set has been replaced with the existing Frightful Revelries set from the Hallowed Chest of the Diretide. We’ve also created a new style that is unlocked on that set no matter where the set was received from.

Gameplay Update
Disabled some functionality used by third-party tools:
– Disabled the “record” command in matchmaking games. This was used to record, in realtime, a local demo that would contain information that wasn’t intended to be visible to the client during a game. Demo recording is still enabled for local lobbies to enable SFM and community content creation.
– Disabled a large number of console commands during matchmaking games that could be used to introspect client state. For example, “dota_lobby_debug”, “cl_dota_ambient_tree_shake_cooldown”, and “dev_simulate_gcdown” no longer function in these games, while “ping”, “disconnect”, and “dota_toggle_autoattack” still do.
