Dota 2's 7.41d patch is live with gameplay changes and a wave of bug fixes targeting some nasty exploits.

A few of the bug fixes in 7.41d deserve more attention than a changelog entry usually gets. The Alchemist/Invoker interaction being patched out is the standout: players had found a way to repeatedly give Invoker Aghanim's Blessings without the usual restriction, which in a competitive match is the kind of snowball that ends games before they should end. Good riddance.

Spirit Breaker permanently switching teams via a Lotus Orb reflect into a Venomancer/Helm of the Dominator chain is one of those bugs that sounds made up until you see it happen live. Both are fixed now.

On the quality-of-life side, Elder Titan's Astral Spirit now correctly accounts for Wind Lace movement speed, and Spirit Bear's consumed items finally count toward Lone Druid's net worth, which was a quiet but frustrating oversight for anyone who's played the hero seriously. The full gameplay changes are below, with the Invoker fixes probably being the first thing high-MMR players will want to check.
