The latest update for Dota Underworlds tries to change the meta of the game. The September 24 update brings several balancing changes. It also fixed multiple Underworld and Hero related bugs that hindered the player experience. Players will not be damaged by the item Horn of the Alpha after the end of rounds. Axe’s Culling Blade will not be blocked by Aphotic Shield anymore. Pangolier’s taunt by Shield Crash will work as intended. Puck also cannot cast Illusory Orb at the targets that are out of range. Several other changes are made in the update as well. You can read the complete patch notes below, courtesy of Steam.
