Every change in Dota 2 patch 7.38, straight from Valve's official notes: 126 heroes, 34 items and 52 neutral items changed. Hero and item names link to their current stats.
▲ Increased▼ Decreased / removed◆ Reworked+ New
General changes96
Major Mechanics
Universal Heroes' damage per attribute decreased from 0.7 to 0.45
As a result, many heroes have had their Base Damages and attribute gains changed
Skill points can now be spent on All Attributes starting at level 2 instead of level 6
Reflected spells now benefit from all bonuses the original cast had, including the following:
Caster's facet upgrades
Bonuses from talents
Aghanim's Shard and Aghanim's Scepter upgrades
Upgrades used to depend on Aghanim's items the reflecting unit had
Slow Resistance now also increases minimum movement speed by the slow resist percentage
20% Slow Resistance increases your minimum movement speed from 100 to 120
Glyph of Fortification: Creep duration decreased from 4s to 3s
Units no longer gain bonus movement speed during the night
Items that have entered a Hero's backpack for the very first time now have a 3 second grace period where they can be swapped into the main inventory without any cooldown. This can only happen once per item per Hero
Wandering Waters
The top and bottom outer rim areas are now flooded by streams of traversable water
These streams have a current, starting near the T3 towers (right before the medium camp location), down to the T1 towers (former Twin Gate location)
Going downstream increases current and max movement speed, while going upstream inflicts no penalty
Streams are separated by two zones: ones with a 'strong current' which provides up to 150 bonus movement speed and ones with a 'moderate current' which provides up to 100 bonus speed. The current is 'strong' from stream beginnings near each base up to the waterfalls near T2 towers. All other stream sections are considered to have a 'moderate current'
Bonus value depends on the faced direction, ranging from 100% while going downstream to 0% at 90 degrees
Watchers, camps and pathways in the areas have been slightly adjusted to give way for the stream
Radiant and Dire main jungles now also have a stream with moderate current, starting near the easy camp close to the mid T1 towers. They join the outer streams, crossing the safelane near the T2 towers
Map Objectives
Roshan
Roshan is back in the river, with one pit located near each sidelane:
Top lair is slightly closer to Dire's jungle entrance, and bottom one is closer to Radiant's
Only the active Roshan pit will show as a minimap icon
Roshan initially spawns in the Bottom Pit
Starting at 15:00, Roshan will follow the day/night cycle, walking across the river towards his designated pit: Top at night and Bottom at day
Roshan no longer has bonus movement speed while moving between pits
Roshan now has basic 25% Slow Resistance and an additional 25% Slow Resistance when running between pits
When running into a hero while moving between pits, Roshan will stop and grab them before violently throwing them away. Upon landing, heroes are stunned for 1s and take 200 pure damage + 0.5% of target's current health per minute of game time. Each time Roshan throws a hero, he gains 70 bonus movement speed and increases throw damage by additional 100 until he reaches his destination pit. After 5 throws Roshan ignores heroes on his way
Throw distance: 1500. Max bonus movespeed: 300. Can be blocked by spell-blocking abilities and items, like Linken's Sphere, but can't be reflected. Heroes will be thrown away from Roshan based on their relative position to him
Added a Roshan icon near the minimap that shows Roshan's state (alive, dead, maybe alive) and location:
If Roshan is dead, the status will also include a timer until his possible respawn
Since Roshan's respawn takes between 8 to 11 minutes, during this window the status will say that he may be alive, but also include a timer until the guaranteed respawn
If a team gains vision over Roshan or Roshan's Roar of Retribution is heard during this status, the timer will be updated to inform that Roshan is alive
Templar Assassin's Third Eye Innate will cause the icon to display exactly when and where Roshan will respawn
Roar of Retribution:
Now also applies a 2s Disarm on all affected units
Radius decreased from 900 to 600
Cast point increased from 0.1s to 0.5s
Cooldown increased from 20s to 60s
Roshan's knockback now has a 2s cooldown before it can be applied to the same unit again
Added a unique attack animation for Bash, as well as new animation and particles for Roar of Retribution
Roshan no longer drops Aghanim's Blessing
Tormentor
Tormentor spawns repositioned to the corners of the map
There is only a single Tormentor active at a time
Tormentor now spawns for the first time at 15:00
Tormentor now grants 250 gold to each team member on death
Tormentor is also dependent on the day and night cycle, so it's at Radiant side at night and at Dire's side at day. As a result, it will always appear at the Radiant side first
Due to this Roshan and Tormentor are always on opposite sides
Tormentor's abilities now scale with game time instead of the number of deaths
Unyielding Shield: Damage absorb rescaled from 2500 + (200 per death) to 1900 + (20 per minute of game time)
Unyielding Shield: Barrier regeneration rescaled from 100 + (100 per death) to 30 + (5 per minute of game time)
Reflect: Damage percentage rescaled from 90 + (20 per death) to 50 + (2 per minute of game time)
The Shining: Damage per second increased from 30 to 60
The Shining: Radius decreased from 1200 to 1000
Alleviation: New ability. After dying, the Tormentor leaves behind a 900 radius aura that increases health regeneration of all units in the area by 2% of their Max Health. Lasts 15s
Lotus Pools
Changed the way Healing Lotuses are collected from Lotus Pools:
Lotus Pools now have three entrances and an empty region in the center
Heroes will automatically gather lotuses when within 350 units of the center of a pool as long as they have available space in their inventory
The first Lotus takes 1.5s to collect, and each subsequent lotus in a row takes 30% less time
The timer only counts down when all heroes within range are on the same team, pausing if an enemy hero enters the area, and resuming when enemies leave
If multiple allied heroes are all within range, the Lotus will be granted to a random hero
Lotus Pools will now spawn Great Lotuses after Tier 4 Neutral Items are available
Lotus Pools will now spawn Greater Lotuses after Tier 5 Neutral Items are available
Shrines of Wisdom
Wisdom Runes removed and replaced with new buildings: Shrines of Wisdom
Shrines of Wisdom are located in the offlane side jungles between the Tier 1 and 2 towers where the Ancient camps used to be
The Shrines will activate every 7 minutes, glowing and filling with experience
To gather the experience from an activated Shrine, a hero must stand within 300 units for 3s
Like Lotus Pools, the Shrine will not count down time if an enemy hero contests by standing within the effect radius, and will resume only if the enemy hero leaves the area or is killed
Experience will be granted to a random hero within 300 units of the Shrine and also to their teammate with the lowest experience
Bounty Runes
Spawn interval increased from 3 minutes to 4 minutes
Gold provided after the initial set rescaled from 36 + (9 per 5 minutes) to 40 + (6 per 4 minutes)
Other Terrain Changes
The region specific map buffs (Mighty Mines, etc.) have been removed
Corner outposts have been removed
The Twin Gates have been repositioned to the corners of the map on a new high ground area near Tormentors
Touched up the map in general. Slightly adjusted neutral camps, trees, and cliffs
Lifesteal
Individual abilities no longer have special rules about how lifesteal works in different situations (heroes vs creeps vs illusions, damage types, etc.). Lifesteal mechanics are now consistent across every ability:
Lifesteal applies to physical damage from attacks and is reduced by 40% when damaging non-heroes
Spell Lifesteal now applies to physical damage from spells and magical damage from spells or attacks and is reduced by 80% when damaging non-heroes
Neither Lifesteal nor Spell Lifesteal applies to pure damage
Holding Alt while looking at items that provide Lifesteal or Spell Lifesteal will show the lifesteal percentages for attacking and casting spells, and targeting creeps vs heroes
The following sources and targets do not provide any lifesteal
Attacks that do not proc Attack Modifiers
Attack damage against wards, buildings, or couriers
Spell damage against illusions, wards, buildings, or couriers
Reflected damage
Spells that remove Health instead of dealing direct damage
Any damage dealt to self or allies
A small number of abilities that do not use Lifesteal or Spell Lifesteal still result in healing and can benefit from Lifesteal Amp:
Lifestealer's Open Wounds heals attackers for a percentage of the damage done
Lifestealer's Feast heals for a percentage of the target's max health
Meepo's Ransack heals all Meepos a flat amount for each strike
Passive: Frost. On attack, slows the enemy by 13% if the target is ranged and by 5% if the target is melee. Reduces target's incoming healing by 13%. Duration: 3s

Passive: Corrosion. On attack, slows the enemy by 16% if the target is ranged and by 6% if the target is melee. Also reduces the target's incoming healing by 16% and their armor by 3. Duration: 3s

Recipe cost decreased from 600 to 250. Total cost unchanged at 2775
Neutral items52
Neutral Crafting
Neutral creeps no longer drop Neutral Tokens
Neutral Stash has been removed
Neutral Items can no longer be dropped or moved to the hero’s backpack
When available, fully clearing a Neutral Creep Camp provides the player with Madstone
Collecting enough Madstone allows the player to craft a Neutral Item by selecting one Artifact and one Enchantment
Obtaining Madstone
Fully clearing a Neutral Creep Camp provides Madstone for the killing player’s team
The player who collects the Madstone receives 2 and 1 is given to a random teammate
Dropped Madstone is automatically collected if there are no enemy heroes within an 800 unit radius of the last creep to die and there is an allied hero within 1200 units of the dead creep. Otherwise, it is left on the ground where the creep died and can be collected by either team
If the player who collects the Madstone is already at their limit (more info below), all of their Madstone is also evenly split between teammates
Item Tiers
Neutral Items are now composed of two parts: Artifacts & Enchantments
Artifacts are the ability of the item and can be passive and/or active
Enchantments provide passive stats and attributes to items
Similar to the previous Neutral Item System, items are arranged by Tiers
Each Tier is only available past a specific point in time
Each Artifact belongs to a single tier
Enchantments have multiple levels and can be found in multiple tiers
Crafting
When crafting, players are given a choice of 4 Artifacts and 4 Enchantments and choose one of each
Artifacts will provide 3 options from the current tier and the last option will be to keep the current Artifact
Enchantments will provide 4 options from the current tier with no option to keep the current Enchantment

Flooded Camps
Neutral Creep Camps that reside within a stream are considered Flooded Camps
Flooded Camps are populated with new amphibian neutral creeps
These camps are:
Easy camp on the rim between tier 1 and tier 2 towers
Medium camp on the rim near tier 2 tower
Medium camp in the main jungle that was on the stream's way and used to be a Hard camp
As the tides of the battle rise, creeps in these special camps evolve
Every 5 minutes one of the creeps in that camp will be forever upgraded to a next tier
Each camp consists of 3 units. As a result, at 15:00 Easy camp completely turns into a Medium camp, and both Medium camps will become Hard ones. At 30:00 Medium camp will become a Hard one, and both Hard camps will evolve to Ancient ones
Each creep can only be upgraded twice, meaning an Easy camp will never reach an Ancient status (sorry, Pollywogs)
Units are not upgraded if the camp is blocked. Amount of upgraded units can't be increased, so if there is only 1 Ancient creep, attempting to stack that camp will not create another Ancient creep
These camps consist of the following creeps:
Easy camp is three Pollywogs
Medium camp is two Boglets and a Marshmage Apprentice
Hard camp is two Croakers and a Marshmage
Ancient camp is two Ancient Croakers and an Ancient Marshmage
The new neutral creeps are detailed below
