Dota 2 Patch 740
As of my latest knowledge update, there is no official Dota 2 Patch 7.40.
- High-Ground, Low-Ground Dynamics: The Gorge features a central river that dips two ramp levels below standard terrain. This creates unprecedented vision warfare. Heroes like Tinker or Sniper gain new high-ground nests, while melee heroes receive a "Gorge Dash" speed boost when moving downhill.
- Removal of the "Safe" Jungle: In Patch 7.40, two medium camps have been removed from each side's "triangle" (the area near the secret shop). In their place stands the Twilight Shrine—a capturable point. Once channeled for 6 seconds, the Shrine provides a 15% movement speed aura for your team within the Gorge for 2 minutes. This forces early-game skirmishes over territory rather than passive farming.
