Far from just your typical balance adjustments, this update introduces Innate Abilities and Hero Facets, turning the game into an “absolute cinema,” as former Team Secret player Yapzor put it. Innate Abilities are unique, hero-specific perks, while Hero Facets are pre-game choices that give heroes alternate abilities for further customization. Even reading the Patch 7.36 notes left players with an undeniable sense of joy and pride, with Arteezy expressing how happy he is to feel the winds of change in the game: “Dota’s evolution has been wild over the years, happy to be a part of it.”
Even former TI winners are on the edge of their seats, starting the game with pure excitement. "This patch… Oh my god. Today is going to be a chaotic day." said Sneyking. Meanwhile, SumaiL showed his appreciation with a short comment: "Sick patch."
It’s not just pro gamers who are excited about Patch 7.36. The community, while initially overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new content, is largely ecstatic. Many see this patch as a breath of fresh air and a much-needed rejuvenation for the game they love.
