Dota 2 update 7.22f patch notes: Huge hero changes ahead of TI9 Valve has released a new update for Dota 2. Dubbed as patch 7.22f, the update brings changes to a large portion of the hero pool just a few weeks before the start of The International 2019. This new balance patch comes with just over two weeks until Dota 2\u2019s biggest event of the year, TI9. It is a continuation of patch 7.22e, which was released on July 16, with most of the same heroes being adjusted in both updates. Popular heroes have once again been nerfed, while less popular ones have been buffed. A few heroes have received small adjustments, such as one more base intelligence, or one less armor, giving them a tiny change that may be pivotal in the early game. Drow Ranger, Lycan, and Tinker buffs A few heroes received some noticeable buffs with Drow Ranger, Lycan, and Tinker being at the top of the list. Drow Ranger received a buff to her base strength and agility, as well as a 10% increase to her gust blind. This combined with buffs from the previous patches could make her one of the strongest carries at TI9. Lycan also received buffs last patch and it didn\u2019t stop there. The werewolf gained extra damage on his Feral Impulse and bonus regen on his Howl ability. The hero hasn\u2019t been the most popular in the last few months, but with so many buffs recently The International may be his time to shine. Meanwhile, Tinker received some unexpected changes with his level 10 talents gaining +25 cast range and 2% spell amplification. One of his level 15 talents was completely changed, going from +15% spell lifesteal to +11 mana cost\/mana loss reduction. Dark Willow and Outworld Devourer nerfs Some of the most popular heroes in the current meta have been hit with nerfs as both Dark Willow and Outworld Devourer have received substantial ability changes. Dark Willow\u2019s ultimate, Terrorize, has had its duration reduced at ranks one and two, and its cooldown increased by 20 seconds across the board. This change mainly reduces her early game power and may see other supports take her place. Outworld Devourer has seen two of his abilities take a hit, as Astral Imprisonment\u2019s cooldown has been increased by two seconds and Sanity\u2019s Eclipse has received a large mana cost increase \u2013 costing as much as 125 more mana at rank 3.
