The Dota 2 website announces plans for some "spring cleaning" in Dota 2, Valve's MOBA. That makes it sound like a minor patch, but the post is pretty huge, an illustrated listing of dozens of changes. Here are just some of the highlighted gameplay updates:

Fixed crashes due to memory fragmentation over long play sessions
Fixed a bug with stun application timing that could cause you to teleport to the fountain while stunned
Fixed Auto Attack after spell to not trigger on various other non-spell activities (like placing wards)
Fixed seeing the courier die in an area after it has already been dead for a while when you hadn't seen it die originally
Fixed bots being stuck trying to ward near cliffs
Fixed various effects malfunctioning when the target moves in and out of FoW (causing things like the Hex effect to play multiple times when the target reappears)
Assists now get counted whenever you place debuff on an enemy hero that dies
Assists now get counted whenever you place a buff on a hero that kills an enemy hero
Fixed Lifestealer having the wrong HP bar color when infesting Ancients
Fixed Sunray having a delay on updating the visual location of the ray
Fixed Ice Wall debuff lingering on heroes that become Spell Immune
Fixed Untouchable lingering when attempting to attack units other than Enchantress
Fixed Lycan's ult wolf changing into a headless Lycan model on death
