The "Dota 2" update patch 7.00 has been released, which introduces fans to The New Journey.

Among the new additions to the "Dota 2" patch 7.00 are the Hero Talents, new and revised maps, Backpack slots and other adjustments in the gameplay.

For instance, Hero Talents will offer a new way to help you adjust quickly in the middle of battle. You can choose from levels 10/15/20/25 in order to boost your capabilities.

"Select your Hero Talents at levels 10/15/20/25 to gain special bonuses for your hero or their abilities," the game's website said. "Each level offers unique branches, and bypassed branches are not available at future levels. Each hero has their own unique set of Talents to choose from."

There are other changes to the hero levels in "Dota 2" patch 7.00, as well. For example, heroes can no longer invoke the attribute bonus ability. The Ultimate levels are now stuck at 6/12/18, but Heroes have four talents at level 10/15/20/25. That means, each level can yield two bonuses to choose from.

In addition, heroes can now carry backpacks in "Dota 2" patch 7.00, which will allow you to bring three additional items that can later be utilized to complete recipes for instance or trade items. They are inactive and will remain so for six seconds when they are transported from the backpack.

The "Dota 2" patch 7.00 also introduces map changes, including the new Ancient Neutral Creep type and "new allied structures in the jungles."
