This means that certain heroes who have a high base movement speed such as Keeper of the Light will benefit less from the use of these items compared to before because they are receiving a bonus that disregards their inherently high base speed. On the opposite end of things, heroes that are inherently slower in their base speed like Medusa will benefit slightly by becoming faster than when using percentage-based bonus items for movement speed. Players who do not pay attention to this change will certainly be in for a rude awakening as they slightly overextend with a hero that was slightly faster only last w

Speaking of Death Prophet, players may be frustrated to hear that the character has received another round of nerfs following changes only recently. Apart from his starting speed reduced from 315 to 310, Exorcism now provides a movement speed bonus of 16/18/20%, down from 20% at all times, and the mana cost at all levels is now 50 more than before. The character will likely continue to see play, but mostly by diehard fans, and we hope this is the last round of nerfs the character is subjected to rece

Patch 7.26a has now been live in Dota 2 for a few days and we can finally discuss how the most recent changes are affecting players in both casual and competitive games.

Leona's Zenith Blade is her third active ability and it allows Leona to project a solar image of her sword in a straight line with a limited range. If an enemy is hit by the sword's projection, magic damage is dealt to them and Leona dashes to the enemy hit last. When Leona dashes to an enemy hit by Zenith Blade, they are rooted for 0.5 seconds. In the early game, this ability is best used to punish enemy Champions that are alone in lane or may be coming a little too close to the minion wave, but later on in the game it will be your tool of choice for initiating fights and landing Shield of Daybreak. Following this ability up with her Shield of Daybreak allows her to immobilize an enemy champion for a whole 1.5 seconds, more than enough time for a teammate to land his or her's next crowd control abil
