The spring updates for Dota 2 have historically been known as patches for bug fixing and "spring cleaning." Patch 7.39 is no different.
Valve has done a general sweep of the game, fixing many outlying issues including some glitches that have been present in the MOBA for over a decade. On top of this, new features designed to make the game more accessible have been added.
The ping wheel now resembles that of League of Legends: players can now select from a multitude of pings with player hero icons indicating who's saying what. A new Team Items submenu will appear when buying items showing particular item purchases made by teammates — meaning no more double Mekanisms or Urns.
An expanded current gold and buyback amount breakdown, a minimap route display, clearer status labels like "Stunned" or "Silenced," and improved voice chat quality all make for a better experience in ranked or general play.
Valve has also rolled out navigatable settings menus with search bars so you can find the setting you need faster, customizable in-game notifications for when teammates buy items or pickup talents, and several other tweaks to make Dota just that much better.
Ability Draft refresh with Hero Drafting included

Ability Draft is getting a fresh pass with patch 7.39 with mass bug fixes and ability interaction updates. With this, the game mode is getting one of it's biggest updates in some time in the form of Hero Drafting.
You'll now be able to select which hero you want to play as part of your draft. You'll be able to pick a corresponding hero at any time during the normal draft phase. What's more important to you: landing that critical ability combo, or ensuring you get that awesome hero and Facet setup? Now you can choose!
Each hero card will display the available Facets so you'll know what you're getting yourself into with each hero pick. Now get out there and draft an awesome combo!
