Traditionally, Valve did not make any significant changes to heroes in the “letter” patch. They are aimed at improving the balance of the game. In particular, weakened Naga Siren, Beastmaster, Mars and Earthshaker, who have been extremely contested lately, while unpopular characters received minor buffs. You can find detailed information about the hero changes on the game's official website.
As CyberScore reported earlier, Dota 2 has recorded its best average online in the last six years.
