Dota 2 Patch 7.41b Nukes Meepo

It feels like we are getting a letter patch every week these days. But that's not a bad thing at all, as the latest update demolishes one of the most annoying heroes in the game.

So let's take a dive into Dota 2 patch 7.41b and see what has changed and who has gained and lost the most from the recent update.

Dota 2 Patch 7.41b hits Consecrated Wraps

We have discussed in-depth our love for Consecrated Wraps but we were never fooled. That item was way too srong and even after a round of nerfs, still needed a bit more tweaking.

The latest update gives Wraps some deserved hits. It now provides five to all stats, instead of six. The item also takes 12 seconds to fully recharge, up from 9. Another item that took a solid hit is Sange and all it's upgrades, as they provide slightly less restoration buffs tthan before.

Not many heroes got buffed in the last update but among them Ancient Apparition got a pretty big one. Aghanim's Scepter provides an extra 0.8 strength reduction, up from 0.3 in the past. That's nearly triple the benefit from the item.

He's not the only major winner though. Invoker gained an extra ability point at levels 6,12, and 18, making them bigger power spikes than before. Chaos Knight's Phantasm deals significantly more damage at levels one and two compared to before.

It's not all winners though in the latest update. Meepo recieved several (much deserved) nerfs. He is slightly less tanky and mobile than before, while Mega Meepo went from a 35 second downtime ability, to 70 seconds. Praise IceFrog! he has blessed us once again.

Doom is another significant patch loser. His 66 damage talent went from level 15 to 20, greatly delaying his power spike. Meanwhile Scorched Earth deals as much damage at level 4 now, as it did at level 3 before. Now that's an ouchie.

Valve has taken another step to rebalance the game ahead of the biggest tournaments of the year. While we likely need one more patch, it'll probably happen after the next round of LAN's concludes.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
