After long months of wintery wait, Dota 2 finally got Patch 7.38, titled “Wandering Waters.” The floodgates have opened, and we have a barrage of changes impacting how the game plays at a fundamental level.
The most visible change is, of course, the flooding around the Safelanes. These aren’t just an upgrade to the scenery, though. Running with the current gives you a speed boost towards your safe lane. On the surface, this seems to make the trip from the base to the Safelane tier one tower area significantly faster.
