The wait for the next Dota 2 patch is over, but fans have been left hanging by Valve after the developer pushed out another letter update instead of 7.33, which is filled with numerical changes.

As players go through the patch notes, all they’ll get to see will be damage, mana cost, and stat changes. While these changes can be impactful enough to alter the meta, the clear lack of major changes is now officially worrying.
The best part of the 7.32e update is Muerta, the new hero, who fans got to know more of in the past days through a series of leaks. Patch 7.32e also came with an official release date for patch 7.33: late April, at this stage.
Dota 2 Patch 7.32e patch notes
New hero: Muerta
Muerta’s Abilities
- Dead Shot
- Muerta fires a ghostly bankshot at an enemy unit or tree. When the bullet strikes, it damages and briefly slows, then ricochets in the targeted direction. The ricochet damages all units that it passes through, stopping when it hits a hero. Heroes hit by the ricochet will run in the direction of the shot.
- The Calling
- Summons a group of revenants that slowly circle the targeted location. Enemies within the area are slowed and have reduced attack speed. Revenants deal damage and silence enemies as the pass through them.
- Gunslinger
- Muerta’s attacks have a chance to fire a second shot at another target, prioritizing Heroes.
- Pierce the Veil
- Muerta transforms, becoming immune to physical damage. All of her attack damage is dealt as magical damage. Muerta gains bonus attack damage and phased movement. Muerta can attack ethereal units but deals no damage to Magic Immune targets.
Muerta release event: Dead Reckoning Event
Players will get an assigned target before every Dota game during the Dead Reckoning event. Score points for Kills and Assists to accumulate more than your opponents.
New Dota Plus features
- Ability to check your historical Dota 2 data.
- Customizable quickcasting options.
- Improved friends list with a favorites section.
