The most significant changes in this update target item behavior. If you’ve been frustrated by Refresher Orb and Refresher Shard failing to share cooldowns properly, that's finally been addressed. Bloodstone also received a critical fix regarding its stack behavior, ensuring the item provides the sustain and power it's supposed to during high-intensity teamfights. These aren't just minor tweaks—they're the difference between a successful high-ground hold and a disastrous misfire.
On the hero front, the development team has been busy squashing bugs that were affecting specific interactions. Meepo players will notice that illusion behavior is now more consistent, and the strange interactions involving Crella's Crozier and Winter's Curse have been ironed out. These fixes are essential for maintaining the competitive integrity of the Ancient, as even a small visual bug or a tooltip error can lead to a misplayed engagement in the heat of a match.
Neutral items weren't ignored either. The patch fixes issues with neutral item enchantment duplication and specific behavior regarding the Kazurai Katana. While 7.41c is primarily a maintenance patch, these refinements ensure the strategic landscape remains fair for all players, regardless of which hero they choose to master. With the foundations now more stable, we can get back to focusing on the meta without worrying about technical hitches ruining a perfect gank.
