DOTA 2 Gets a New Patch, Adds Llamas

April 25, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

A new patch adds llamas to DOTA 2.

Dota 2 Llama

Valve has released a new patch for DOTA 2 to rebalance a couple of fairly imbalanced characters—Dragonus, the Skywrath Mage; and Slark.

The new patch widens the hitbox around Dragonus to make him much easier to hit, as he was previously too difficult for opposing players to target. 

In addition to the balance changes, a new courier called the Llama Llama is coming to the game's online store so players can summon a llama to mule around their items across the map.

Here's everything the patch does:

Gameplay

    Enabled Drow and Tusk in Captain’s Mode (Tournament Version).
    Enabled Bristleback, Slark and Skywrath Mage in Captain’s Mode (Latest Version).
    Invoker: Fixed Cold Snap being purgable.
    Skywrath Mage: Fixed hitbox being too small.
    Slark: Fixed Shadow Dance giving Slark flying vision.
    Slark: Fixed Shadow Dance granting passive bonuses to Slark illusions.
    Slark: Fixed an issue causing Shadow Dance’s passive modifier to not update in the UI, despite being active.
    Slark: Fixed Dark Pact continuing while Slark is dead.
    Slark: Essence Shift counters on both Slark and enemy heroes will show the total duration ( i.e. the time that the most recent stack will expire.)
    Slark: Fixed a number of incorrect spell interactions with Dark Pact.
    Slark: Fixed a number of horizontal movement ability interactions with Pounce.
    Troll Warlord: Fixed Berserker’s Rage bonus damage not being applied as base damage.
    Tusk: Fixed Frozen Sigil not affecting magic immune units.

Workshop

    Added HUD Skins to the Workshop Importer.

DOTA 2 is currently available on the PC through Steam. No word yet on when the game'll be out on the Mac.

Thanks PCGamesN.
