Path 7.33d, which went live today, brings a slew of changes to some heroes that have exploded in popularity. The fine-tuning nature of the patch aims to address any lingering balance issues and get everything right for The International 2023.
Even the two heroes popping off at DreamLeague season 20 were hit by the nerf hammer, and the sheer size of the patch notes was an indication of no hero being safe. Windranger was also tweaked after enjoying a sharp spike in wins, and even more may follow as Valve continues to explore Universal Heroes’ place in Dota 2.
