Mini-patch released in Dota 2 - nerfed Kez and fixed a few bugs

On December 3, Dota 2 developers released a small update in which they nerfed the recently released hero - Kez. This is the third update that focuses solely on changes to the characteristics of this character.

List of changes:

• Echo Slash: No longer applies cleave on units hit.
• Falcon Rush: Rush Range decreased from 650 to 575
• Grappling Claw: Hero Bonus Heal reduced from 40/80/120/160 to 30/60/90/120
• Grappling Claw: Cooldown increased from 15/12/9/6 to 16/13/10/7
• Talon Toss: Cooldown increased from 15/12/9/6 to 16/13/10/7
• Raven's Veil: Applied mark no longer applies parry bonus.
• Replaced +50 Raptor Dance Radius level 15 talent with new talent: Raven's Veil Mark Applies Parry Bonus
• Grappling Claw: Reworded description to clarify bonus hero healing.
• Added additional HUD styling to better communicate the current stance Kez is in.

Valve has also fixed a few bugs related to the new character:

• Raptor Dance: Fixed particle effect not increasing when radius increased.
• Echo Slash: Fixed it hitting units slightly further than its range.
• Echo Slash: Fixed secondary attack cancelling Kez's invisibility.
• Falcon Rush: Fix secondary attack sound effect not playing.
• Shodo Sai: Fixed cases where Mark would not be applied properly if it was already applied.
• Shodo Sai: Fixed parry cancel sub-ability being affected by Faceless Void's Time Dilation.
• Fixed cooldown reduction not applying to alternate weapon abilities.

It should be noted that the update did not affect the Dota Plus subscription, although with the start of the new season should appear combat report and new seasonal tasks.

As CyberScore reported earlier, Nix shared his opinion about Kez.
