Less than a week after releasing one of the biggest Dota 2 updates ever, Valve is back with a new, massive patch aimed at smoothing out the kinks of version 7.36.
Dota 2 [Review]
Dota 2 Patch 7.36a doesn’t just focus on fixing the issues left over from its mega predecessor that changed so many elements. Instead, it fixes some serious issues and also works on rebalancing many skills and effects, mainly around Hero Facets and the Innates that were added in 7.36.
While Dota 2 Patch 7.36 added Hero Facets and Innate Abilities, completely changing how certain heroes interact with each other and the map, 7.36a is an additional list of updates that attempts to smooth over any remaining rough spots.
We’ve already seen how the 7.36 patch line will impact Dota 2 at the highest level, with Team Falcons winning DreamLeague Season 23 with the patch this past weekend. But that event, along with thousands of other matches played, has served to expose some immediate imbalances.
