Last week, Dota 2 got its 7.30 update, which - among a ton of other changes - brought a new neutral item that can turn your hero into speedy little pig. Now, Valve's just pushed out a smaller, follow-up patch, 7.30b, which brings some other key changes to a few items and heroes.
In the new 7.30b update, we've got just a small handful of balance tweaks for two items and five Dota 2 heroes to follow last week's mega patch. None of the adjustments are huge, but do help to address a few changes that were starting to have some champs looking a tad over-buffed. First up, Lycan is seeing two balance changes, with his Howl ability's armour reduction dropping a few pips. His level ten talent has also been nerfed, with its summon wolves damage dealt dropped to 15 from 20 beforehand.
Silencer, meanwhile, has had his level 15 and 20 talents nerfed, while Slark's Dark Pact ability mana cost has increased to 75 up from 60 previously. His level 15 talent - extra Dark Pact damage - has decreased to a boost of 70 rather than 80. Beastmaster's 'health Beastmaster controlled units' level 15 talent has also been hit with a nerf, dipping way down to 250 from 350 with the patch.
