Patch 7.31 membawa perubahan kepada hampir semua hero, sehingga mungkin butuh waktu bagi para pemain kasual maupun pro untuk menentukan META baru.

Berikut ini adalah perubahan-perubahan gameplay paling mencolok di patch 7.31 Dota 2!

Rework Techies

(Kredit: Valve)

• Stasis Trap Removed

• Remote Mines Removed

• Base movement speed reduced from 320 to 300

• Base damage increased by 12

• Base armor reduced by 2

• Base attack speed increased from 90 to 100

• Sticky Bomb: Techies lob a bomb cart onto a target area. If the cart lands near an enemy, it sticks to them and reduces movement speed briefly before exploding.

• Reactive Tazer: Techies trigger a zap that provides a jolt of movement speed and temporarily disarms enemies attacking them. At the end of its charge, the zap explodes, disarming enemies in the area.

• Blast Off!: Techies launch themselves into the air, dealing massive explosion damage to themselves and enemies upon landing. Importantly, this blast no longer deals lethal damage to Techies.

• Proximity Mines: Now Techies' ultimate ability. Techies plant a deadly mine that only appears visible when an enemy is close enough for it to explode.
