Valve released balance update 7.41f for Dota 2 on September 15, skipping general system changes to focus entirely on hero and item adjustments alongside bug fixes.

Item recipe costs increased for Daedalus, Dragon Lance, Heart of Tarrasque, Octarine Core, and Heaven’s Halberd. Small nerfs hit Infused Raindrops, Essence Distiller, Manta Style, Mask of Madness, Mjollnir, Satanic, Shiva’s Guard, and Silver Edge, while the neutral item Greedy received a buff to its attack damage reduction, moving from 30/60 to 35/70.

Major hero adjustments targeted Bounty Hunter, Earth Spirit, Treant Protector, Invoker, and Underlord. Bounty Hunter received lower bonus gold from Track, Earth Spirit dropped in base attack speed and Stone Remnant charges, and Treant Protector lost base stats alongside nerfs to Leech Seed and Living Armor.

Invoker faced an increased Cold Snap cooldown and a nerf to Ghost Walk periodic damage with Aghanim’s Scepter affecting only heroes. Underlord lost the Pit of Malice radius increase from Aghanim’s Scepter but gained a faster Fiend’s Gate cooldown. Additionally, developers resolved several bugs involving Roshan, item selling, Tranquil Boots, and various hero abilities.
