Memang sudah direncakan akan melakukan patch setiap 2 minggu, Valve nampaknya tetap konsisten dengan janji mereka tersebut. Namun mungkin bila dilihat dari 2 update kebelakang, tak terlalu banyak yang diubah Valve selama melakukan Patch. Sehingga banyak yang berfikir bahwa Patch rutin ini hanya berguna untuk melakukan penyesuaian kembali terhadap gameplay secara keseluruhan saja, dan tidak akan memberikan perubahan cukup besar pada keseluruhan gameplay DOTA 2.
Tapi, hadirlah Valve memberikan Patch 7.10 yang bisa dibilang cukup berbeda dari patch-patch sebelumnya. Pada patch 7.10 ini, mereka memberikan cukup banyak update yang dikhawatirkan akan merubah gameplay cukup besar. Dimana hal ini akan berdampak sangat banyak pada Bucharest Major yang akan hadir mulai tanggal 3 Maret nanti.
Beberapa perubahan dasar yang dibawa Valve di Patch 7.10 adalah Bounty Rune yang akan memberikan ekstra 10 Gold lebih pada rune kedua, namun tidak lagi memberikan experience kepada para pemain. Harga Boot of Speed yang naik lagi ke harga 500 Gold dari sebelumnya 400 Gold. Serta Dark Willow yang akhirnya bisa dimainkan di dalam mode Captain’s Mode.
Tak sampai disitu, tapi beberapa hero juga mendapatkan sedikit perubahan; seperti Dragon Knight yang mendapat penyusutan pertumbuhan Agility dari 2.2 ke 2.0. Lalu Gyrocopter yang mendapatkan tambahan Cooldown untuk skill Homing Missle-nya yang memang bisa dibilang cukup mengganggu permainan. Serta Lycan yang base damagenya turun sebanyak 3 poin.
Tinker-pun yang sedang mulai kembali ramai mendapatkan nerf yang cukup besar untuk skill Laser-nya yang hanya memiliki 400 Cast Range dari 650 Cast Range dengan mana cost yang juga mengalami kenaikan. Terakhir Terrorblade yang base regeneration HP-nya mengalami penurunan dari 3.25 ke 3.00 dan skillnya Reflection tak lagi berikan efek pada Attack Speed musuh.
Masih banyak perubahan-perubahan lainnya yang hadir untuk gameplay secara keseluruhan, item dan juga hero. Kebanyakan hanya perubahan minor yang mungkin tidak terlalu terasa, namun beberapa hero mendapatkan penyesuaian talent yang mungkin dapat sedikit merubah permainan dan beberapa item akan menjadi lebih efektif juga. Jadi kalian jangan lupa baca patch 7.10 dibawah ini ya!
