Valve released Dota 2 patch 7.41f on September 15, 2026, nerfing several heroes that dominated The International 15. Treant Protector, picked in 100% of TI15 matches, received a base intelligence reduction and ability tweaks, while Bounty Hunter saw a 25% reduction in self bonus gold from Track. Several popular items saw their costs increase, including Daedalus and Dragon Lance, and support items like Essence Distiller and Infused Raindrops had their mana regeneration reduced. Anti-Mage and Ursa received buffs in return, and this patch is expected to meaningfully reshape competitive play heading into TI 2026.
