Valve released patch 7.31d for Dota 2 a month after its last update. Though the patch doesn’t include the next Battle Pass, it features many in-game tweaks that will help further shape up the metagame.

There are series of quality of life changes as well, which include more slots to avoid players for Dota Plus subscribers, refreshed challenges, and more stats in the form of reports. A selected game mode will also be highlighted every weekend, rewarding players with Shards when they win two matches.

Players will now be able to equip Immortal item spell effects regardless of the item their hero is wearing. This means that players will be able to customize their spell animations regardless of the item set they’re wearing. Another new feature is called the Clip Builder, helping players immortalize their in-game moments faster.

Some of the notable in-game changes include the Healing Salve, as its duration was halved when cast on ally, a change that will likely stop core players from asking for additional Salves from their supports during the laning stage.

Black King Bar’s cooldown was increased from 75 to 90 seconds, making core players more vulnerable for an additional 15 seconds. Another nerf was handed out to Wraith Pact, one of the most popular items in the meta. The item’s model size was increased by 50 percent, and the attacks to destroy it was reduced from five to four. This shows that the developers still want the item to be a part of the meta, but players will now have an easier time when it comes to getting rid of it in team fights.

The rest of the patch notes include the following changes.
