Valve releases update for Dota 2 with fixes for some mechanics and bugs

Dota 2 developer Valve has released an update that fixes the Tormentor's mechanics, changes the visualization of the Watcher, fixes the Phylactery interaction on some characters, and more.

List of changes:

• Watchers are now colored based on whether they are controlled by your team (matching minimap coloration), rather than whether they are controlled by Radiant and Dire.
• Auto-selected summoned units no longer close the shop UI.
• Wisdom Runes no longer consider players who abandoned when finding a second player to grant XP.
• Tormentor no longer considers players who abandoned when finding a player to grant shard.
• Tormentor no longer considers heroes who have no shard upgrades/abilities when finding a player to grant shard.
• Fixed a bug that caused Tormentors to not play their idle or flinch animations.
• Fixed a bug where a hero would have to have a second Dust available in order for the damage or movement speed penalty to apply to enemies encountering the Dust.
• Fixed Alchemist's Unstable Concoction Throw not triggering Phylactery.
• Fixed an inconsistency where Dark Willow's Shadow Realm would not behave as if the unit were invisible for a number of abilities.
• Fixed a crash when Earth Spirit creates many Stone Remnants and then casts Magnetize affecting at least one enemy unit.
• Fixed Earthshaker leap being interrupted if he is debuff immune and gets a stunned applied on him (that does not pierce debuff immunity).
• Fixed Gyrocopter's Flak Cannon modifier not updating its attacks remaining when refreshed.
• Fixed Hoodwink's Acorn Shot, Medusa's Mystic Snake, Tinker's Laser, and Zeus' Arc Lightning not properly applying when casting hero has a Phylactery and a low-health unit is targeted.
• Fixed Legion Commander's Overwhelming Odds radius indicator showing the incorrect radius.
• Fixed Ogre Magi lvl25 talent 17% Chance for Fireblast on Attack no longer applying if the player buys and then sells/unequips Aghanim's Scepter.
• Fixed a bug with Outworld Destroyer's Astral Imprisonment where, when a stack of Astral Imprisonment debuff was removed, mana as well as max mana might be restored.
• Fixed Shadow Fiend's Necromastery tooltip incorrectly stating losing 40% of souls on death, when the real value is 30%.
• Fixed Spirit Breaker Charge of Darkness occasionally continuing past death, leading to the ability being on indefinite cooldown and no longer usable.
• Fixed Eimer Hillburrow courier not being selectable.
• Fixed various tooltip issues.
• Fixed various relics.
