Issue:

Random 1.1/1.3 GB updates are being shown up for Dota2, Sometimes If the game is already opened and I click on "Find Match" and there are no updates and able to search for a match, but if i close the game and try to open it again this would come up, friends in the party using Windows aren't getting these updates so they're definitely a Linux client issue

Sometimes multiple times during the day this would show up as available update and start downloading, I've already removed all the workshop content in-case it was causing this, but still happening (as I'm typing this restarted steam and Voila, it's downloading again)

Hello @udithishara, you're showing Steam pulling in a shader pre-cache update for the game. You can verify this by reading the mouse tooltip when you hover over the ⓘ symbol beside the game's name.
