Gameplay Patch 7.41e and Summer Scrub: what changed

Gameplay Patch 7.41e and Summer Scrub

The International approaches and we've just released an update that includes predictions, fantasy, supporter bundles, and a chance to prove your skills and win new Immortals and unlock terrains.

But that's not all. Today we're also releasing patch 7.41e. Even that's not everything, though. Dota is a complicated game, and while we greatly enjoy the creativity and diligence of the dedicated players who find intricate and absurd bugs, we also like *fixing* those bugs. So today we're also releasing the Summer Scrub, a huge collection of new features as well as fixes for gameplay and content bugs, ranging from Abaddon's taunt to Zeus's Dota Plus challenge.

The list is too long for this post, so we made a whole page just to list all the changes.
