Dota 2: new patch re-balances Dragonus, tweaks Slark

Dota 2 developer Valve has issued a new patch that re-balances the incredibly powerful Dragonus, the Skywrath Mage. Slark has also undergone some changes, and what's that about Llamas?

PCGamesN reports that the latest patch has widened the hut box around Dragonus to make him a bigger target, which redresses the balance of his powerful move-set. We reported on his devastating arsenal here if you'd like to check out what the fuss was all about.

There's also a new courier called the Llama Llama heading to the shop. Here he is:
