Dota 2 Update as of 07/26/18: Fix for Prophet Pendulum Malfunction
Team Spirit analyst Mark “sikle” Lerman discussed the changes in the Dota 2 update on his personal Telegram channel, noting that it fixed a bug causing the neutral item Prophet Pendulum to function incorrectly.

A bug with Prophet’s Pendulum has been fixed; it did not work if selected while dying—a similar issue had previously affected Conjurer’s Catalyst.
Axe has been restored as the starting hero when loading the demo mode.
The gc_secret_key “” (secret key for the coordinator) has been removed. This is likely to prevent potential data leaks, as happened not long ago when the stats were disabled.
The update size was 71.4 MB.
Earlier, Mark “sikle” Lerman discussed a bug fix where the Ancient Granite Golem’s Granite Aura allowed for infinite healing when used in conjunction with Power Treads, as well as the return of a bug involving Aghanim’s Scepter on Invoker.
