Patch 7.30d strengthens Clinkz and weakens Silencer
Less than 2 weeks before the start of The International 10, Valve released patch 7.30d. With its release, Clinkz became even stronger, and the Silencer, on the contrary, was weakened. In this article, we will analyze the main changes. The complete description of the patch is available on the official website.
Clinkz
Already strong in this patch, Clinkz has received another buff. His Burning Barrage ability will now have an additional 5% attack damage. On top of that, Level 20 talent increased from 2 to 3 arrows.
Silencer
Silencer has been significantly weakened. His Arcane Curse Silence Penalty Multiplier was reduced from 2x to 1.7x, and his Last Word radius was reduced from 650 to 500.
Dawnbreaker
The heroine, who only appeared in Captains Mode 2 weeks ago, is already getting her first weakening. Damage from Starbreaker's ability in the initial stages of pumping has been significantly reduced. Also, Celestial Hammer's ability rescaled from 35% to 24/28/32/36%.
Zeus
The hero's ultimate ability, Thundergod's Wrath, got slightly increased damage on the second and third levels. And in his passive ability, Static Field, damage no longer counts as HP removal. This allows a player to interrupt Blink Dagger cooldown and cancel the recovery effect with Healing Salve.
