Dota 2 - The Outlanders Update

It’s happened. Valve has updated Dota 2 for the first time since May 2019. The new Patch 7.23 is called The Outlanders and adds new heroes, items, a courier for each player, heroes update and many new features. This article includes the main changes from the patches 7.23, 7.23a, 7.23b, 7.23c, 7.23d, 7.23e and 7.23f.

New Heroes

Void Spirit

The Void Spirit is the brother of the other Dota 2 Spirits: Ember, Earth, and Storm. Although he mainly stayed in a shelter for some time, now he has joined the battle “to save the Allies, because something is coming.”

It’s difficult to understand how players will use Void Spirit, but based on his skills, it would probably be a 3rd or 4th position.

Snapfire

The second new hero is Timbersaw’s aunt, who travels around the world on a giant lizard. On its back, the reptile carries a turret that can be used by the character, whereas the hero herself is armed with a double-barreled shotgun. Despite this ammunition, many Dota 2 fans are expecting the hero to be a support.

In the near future, you’ll be able to buy skins for the new heroes on the 3rd party Dota 2 Marketplaces.

Courier

Now each player has his own courier.
The courier acquires new levels along with the hero.
Courier speed has been reduced from 380 to 275.
Courier health reduced from 75 to 70.
If the courier is alive, the owner receives 85 gold per minute (instead of basic 91 gold per minute).
For each level, the courier receives +10 travel speed, +10 health and +2 gold per minute.
On level 5, the courier becomes a flying courier.

However, the courier’s visibility area has been reduced from 350 to 200.
Now the whole team is given 25 + (5 for the level) of gold and 35 + (20 for the level) of experience.
Land/flight courier revival time changed from 120 / 180 to 50 + (7 per level) seconds.
Now the “Return Items” ability sends the courier to the base, even if he has no items.

Outposts

There are two outposts on the map and they are located where the side benches used to be. Right-clicking on the outpost will start the interrupted six-second grip. The more allies that are captured at the outpost, the faster it is. Experience is given both for capturing the outpost and at every 10-minutes interval (20:00, 30:00, 40:00 and so on). In addition, the outpost is surrounded by unlimited visibility and can be teleported to. The outposts are not valid for the first 10 minutes of the game. They cannot be captured at this time.

It reveals any invisibility within a radius of 500.
If both outposts are captured, only one of them has experience.
Teleportation to the outpost takes 6 seconds (subsequent teleportations have the same delay as the towers).

Neutral Items

Now, from those killed, neutral creeps fall out unique items that can not be sold, but can be transferred to allies. Items are divided into five digits. Each time you fall out, the chance of getting an object of the same category is halved. Certain items fall out only once for each team. Items start falling out at 7:00.

There are a total of 62 unique neutral items.

The number of cells in the backpack is increased from 3 to 4.

The chance of falling out is specified for the first object in the category - the chance of each subsequent falling out in the same category is halved. For example, the first chance is 9%, the second chance is 6%, the third chance is 3% and so on.

The chance of falling out uses a pseudo-random distribution for each category and works only if there is a real hero with the dead neutral creep.
