The equation has changed significantly, though, for supports after the release of Dota 2 patch 7.33. This makes rating the Shards a bit difficult, as all supports will not need to buy one. Enchantress creep domination is prominent only in the laning stage and parts of the early game. Additionally, the hero no longer has the talent to use Enchant on ancients. If that were still available, this Shard would be somewhat worth it....

Patch 7.33c has some important general changes and a lot of item and hero balance changes. The entire set of changes can be foundhere. We will dive into how the general changes are bound to change the way the game will be played. Observer Ward experience bounty increased from 50+6/min to 70+8/min. Tormentor Reflect now always affects attacking hero, regardless of distance. Cleared multiple tree paths that led to dead ends and deceptive looking terrain....

There is also news about Dota 2 patch 7.34! The changes have arrived, and they are all in the form of nerfs. The entire set of nerfs can be foundhere. We will look at some of the major ones which are bound to affect drafts at the Riyadh Masters. Broodmother Both changes affect Brood in the laning stage. Insatiable Hunger is how she sustains herself in the lane, and even while farming neutral creeps....

A few weeks ago, Valve promised Dota 2 patch 7.34 would be released before the TI12 qualifiers. About 9 days before the qualifiers, the new patch has arrived. Patch 7.34 may not be as large as patch 7.33, but it still has a lot to offer. The details of all changes will be dealt with in separate analytical pieces on the GosuGamers website. Heres a gist of the big changes to the game....

Let’s see how. But some of the general changes tend to have a higher impact on the game. Now, 7 will be taken out before a single hero is picked. In no recent patch has a team had two bans in a row. Many players have said in interviews that planning the first phase against an opponent often takes hours of preparation. They probably run simulations for various scenarios to see how a draft might progress....

We take a look at how good the reworked Aghanims Scepters from Dota 2 patch 7.34 are. Here, we rate the reworked Scepters of patch 7.34 on a scale of 0 to 10. A rating of 10 means you pretty much have to get it every game. LITTLE FRIENDS: Now granted by Aghanim’s Scepter. Enchantress Aghanims Shard upgrades have been moved to her Aghanims Scepter (and vice versa). SPIRIT LINK: Now upgradable by Aghanim’s Scepter....

We take a look at how good the reworked Aghanims Shards from Dota 2 patch 7.34 are. A few days ago, we looked at the ratings for the reworked Scepters of patch 7.34. Here, we rate the Shards from patch 7.34. Anti-Mage (5/10) COUNTERSPELL: Aghanim’s Shard Upgrade reworked. Now creates an illusion of Anti-Mage next to an enemy caster upon reflecting their spell. Illusion deals 75% damage, takes 100% damage and has a duration of 4 seconds....

Dota 2 patch 7.34 was released on the 8thof August, and it stirred up the meta quite quickly. Certain heroes rose to the top, andGosuGamers looked at the big winners of the patch. Items Only two items were nerfed Glimmer Cape and Spirit Vessel. Thats a good chunk of damage in the early game. Not all hero changes from patch 7.34b are nerfs. There are small buffs to heroes that are on the brink of being good but need a slight push....

Patch 7.34c does not have any overhauling changes as such that will completely flip the meta. It is a bit of adjustment to one item, four neutral items and 57 heroes. This is a great when the hero gets ganked. Even though he might die, the Tempest Double can be ready at full strength to exact some revenge. If he doesnt get picked now, pretty soon he is going to have perma Stampede!...

A slight nerf here, a bit of a buff there. Three heroes though, have received sizable nerfs based on how strong they have been recently. Pangolier has been a part of the meta for eons now. Phantom Assassin is possibly the worst hit hero of Dota 2 patch 7.34d. Now it has been brought down to 17%! That’s a pretty big reversal. Mortred will not be happy. Sven has had a huge chunk of his damage reduced....

It was a good move, as it helped the Dota 2 community cope with the post-TI blues. The stage was set for this year. Well, thats a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.  Dota 2 patch 7.34e is an extremely underwhelming patch. The game was screaming for some major nerfs to specific items and heroes. Lets take a look at what we have been blessed with in patch 7....

A total of 343 games were played across all seven Dota 2 regions for the two sets of qualifiers. But in the recent qualifiers, the teams came well-prepared. All the data has been taken fromdatDota.  A general observation is that universal heroes are making a small comeback of sorts. Vengeful Spirit, Techies, Pangolier (will this hero ever not be in the meta?...

Dota 2 patch 7.35 came out of nowhere! Everyone was expecting a Frostivus update, but the new patch was unexpected. Amongst all the changes, there were two new items, Khanda and Parasma. But it has gone in a different albeit interesting direction. This is not base damage, this is all attack damage, including items! Sven with an Aghanims Scepter does 500 magical damage with Storm Hammer. ![A screenshot of a video game...
