Everything you need to know about the new neutral items added in Dota 2 patch 7.30

The neutral items no longer in Dota 2 with patch 7.30’s arrival are Faded Broach, Ironwood Tree, Imp Claw, Illusionist’s Cape, Minotaur Horn, Orb of Destruction, and Ballista.

A significant change regarding neutral items with Dota 2 patch 7.30 is the 5 neutral item drops per tier compared to the 4 before. This will give every teammate the liberty to obtain one of the neutral items in a particular tier and give an extra roll of dice at obtaining the exact item that a player might want in a Dota 2 match. This will certainly quell some Dota 2 players' criticisms over the RNG aspect of neutral items.
