Introducing Largo and Patch 7.40

Introducing Dota's newest hero: Largo, the bard.

Unlike bards with your traditional bard powers (singing about current events and chord changes), Largo is the shamanic head of the bardmonk order. He tailors every song to his exact circumstances, raising his allies' spirits or, if necessary, their foot speed as they run toward battle (or away). As a frog, his prehensile tongue has, shall we say, all kinds of tricks. You can read a little about his past, or you can help explore his future in Dota right now.

Today's update also includes gameplay patch 7.40. (As is tradition, the patch notes are too long to fit in this blog, so we made a whole site to hold them and show some highlights.)

• Fixed Bounty Hunter's Big Game Hunter not granting any bonus gold

• Fixed Spirit Breaker's Planar Pocket redirecting Alchemist's Aghanim's Scepter and Moon Shard's Consume
