Dota 2 Update: 9 Changes in Patch 7.21 we think deserves some attention

#5 Lycan's Wolves lose their armor but gain HP

Lycan's wolves got a slight nerf with this patch, with their armor going from 1 to 0. They also have 70% magic resistance instead of 80. However, the wolves did get much higher HP to compensate gaining at least 70+ more HP. Farming Lycan will certainly be interesting.

#4 Slark Pounce No Longer Has Damage

This is a huge one. Slark's Pounce, which once did 300+ damage and then reduced to 120 at max, has been removed. The latching effect will still be there. But Slark's win rate has dipped since this patch, no longer making him a very powerful carry. The change is interesting because now it puts Slark in a delicate position, and he can probably even play as a support (much like Vengeful Spirit).

Slark can still carry well if you get the classic items such as Black King Bar, Eye of Skadi, Sange and Yasha. Removing the Pounce damage just makes him trickier to play.
