It has been over six months since Dota 2 patch 7.30 was released.

August 2021 seems like a very long time ago because it was a long time ago!

But Valve have gone a step ahead of just announcing the day and time of patch 7.31 being released.

They have also revealed that a community favorite hero will be undergoing rework.

Well, not so much favorite as favorite to be banned.

Thats one major thing we know about Dota 2 patch 7.31.

But what other changes can we expect?

The first massive patch at the start of every year always brings that one change that revolutionizes the game.

Two years ago, it was neutral items.

Last year, it was Aghanims Shard.

This year who knows?!

The patch wont be released at a sane hour every place in the world.
