Dota 2 7.37 Patch Change Roshan

The release of Dota 2's Patch 7.37 has introduced intriguing updates that are catching the attention of players. Among these updates, modifications to Roshan's mechanics stand out, altering his interaction timings, rewards, and impact on game strategy.

Previously, engaging Roshan early in the game was often considered less beneficial unless specific heroes were involved. With the new changes, players can explore earlier opportunities to contest Roshan, potentially shifting how the late game develops.

What are Roshan's Changes in Dota 2 Patch 7.37?

Roshan's mechanics have been adjusted to introduce new strategic elements. Roshan's Banner now drops consistently from his second death onward, providing an incentive for both teams to engage. From his third death, Roshan grants different rewards based on the time of day: Refresher Shard and Cheese during daytime and Aghanim's Blessing at night. These rewards can influence teamfight outcomes significantly.

Furthermore, the radius of Roshan's Banner has been expanded from 600 to 650, making it more impactful. Additionally, teleportation to Roshan's outposts has been reduced to four seconds, enhancing the ability of teams to quickly contest or support their efforts in securing Roshan.

New Hero Interactions with Roshan

Patch 7.37 introduces fresh dynamics in Dota 2 with updated hero abilities affecting Roshan. Death Prophet can now use her Spirit Siphon on Roshan, making her a stronger contender for early and mid-game engagements. Elder Titan has received an innate ability that grants allied creeps under the influence of Roshan's Banner or Glyph of Fortification a substantial 100% bonus damage. Templar Assassin brings strategic vision to the team with her Third Eye ability, letting the entire team see Roshan's respawn timer, improving strategic planning. However, her Psionic Traps no longer provide vision in the Roshan pit, changing how she controls map vision.
