April 25 patch is a small one. Alongside Brewmaster being implemented to captain's mode, no chances for heroselection have been made. Last time a patch did not bring new heroes, the random draft has been enabled.
This time, the lack of heroes is compensated with a graphical update to the game. Many item icons have been updated, mostly giving them a more plastic look. Also the HUD has been adjusted, now giving a large button for Glyph of Fortification and adding a new button for courier control. This button also shows the couriers next stop.
