Dota 2 patch brings bottle refill changes and some unannounced updates
It’s been a big month for Dota 2, with the arrival of the MOBA game’s new hammer-swinging hero Dawnbreaker and the chonky 7.29 gameplay patch late last week. Since these, Valve’s battler has seen a couple of weeny follow-up updates to make a few changes here and there, with a new one dropping today that adjusts how a key item works, and brings a handful of unannounced changes.
Today’s Dota 2 gameplay update brings just one solitary change to the multiplayer game, but it’s one to make a note of: “Bottle now only refills two charges when capturing Water or Bounty runes”. This follows some discussion on Reddit wondering if a change some players had spotted following the recent 7.29 update – that a full bottle item with three charges would lose a charge (down to two) if you scooped up a Bounty or Water rune – was a bug or a gameplay update.
