Dota 2 has not gotten a big patch in recent months, making the number of players slowly go down and switch to other games. But the wait for this new patch will end soon with Valve showing patch notes for 7.07. In addition to adding 2 new heroes, this patch also brings a lot of drastic changes to the gameplay as well as the existence of new items.
Pangolier Hero Mele Type AGI

Shield Crash Pangolier stops the ground doing an AOE attack (greater damage when combined with Ulti Skill)
Heartpiercer (passive) when the enemy is hit by the attack will receive slow Buff effect
The Rolling Thunder changes shape like a ball and rolls off the Knock-Back effect when hit
Dark Willow Hero Range Type INT
Dark Willow comes with 5 active skills that focus on magic damage. This hero seems to have 2 ultimate skills that have never existed in hero-hero before.
Bramble Maze creates a large area trap, giving damage and root effects (similar to Ulti Trean Skill).

Terrorize Make the enemy run towards their fountain. such as Lone DruidTak skill can be used when Bedlam is active.
The ranking system is changed
In the next update later, Valve change the system ranked into a season system every 6 months. According to them this will make the MMR will be appropriate and accurate with the skills that players now have. This MMR will also switch to the medal system rather than the number as before. Each medal in each season will be recorded and displayed in the player's profile as an indicator of the player's skill in each season.
The first season of the MMR will begin two weeks after the patch is released to prepare players with this new system.
Turbo Mode
Turbo Mode becomes a new mode devoted to casual players. This mode has the same rules as normal mode, but gold and XP are given more, the tower is weaker, and respawn faster. Players can also buy items anywhere that make this mode easily accessible for new players who are still learning how to play this game.
