Dota 2 Game Play update 7.33e released

The Dota 2 7.33e update was released earlier today, and it included nerfs for 11 of the most widely played and effective heroes at the Bali Major, including Broodmother, Doom, Ember Spirit, Enchantress, Medusa, Morphlng, Pugna, Storm Spirit, Techies, Timbersaw, and Undying.

Valve adjusted and nerfed a number of heroes who were heavily fought and dominated the proceedings at the recently completed Bali Major 2023. The newest patch nerfed Broodmother’s Insatiable Hunger (mana cost and cooldown increased) and Silken Bola (slow lowered). Morphling received one of the most dramatic modifications, with the hero’s Aghanim’s Sceptre Target Stats Steal and Additional Stats Steal reduced significantly.

Aside from the normal patch reveal, you may have missed the Steam community page, which listed a number of minor quality of life adjustments included in the patch. These are the following:

  • Kobolds dug up via Trusty Shovel are now required to follow their owner (similar to Juggernaut’s Healing Ward).
  • In Fog of War, freshly created enemy units were flashing on the minimap for a frame before being concealed.
  • Fixed spells’ inability to target unseen troops revealed by a sentry ward.
  • Fixed an issue where the Evasion hero stats tooltip was not rounding to the nearest integer number.
  • Tormentor now treats creep heroes as summons that must be slain immediately if no genuine hero units are within range.
  • Fixed an issue in the treasure UI that caused rarity text to be clipped while hovering over an item.
  • Lich Sinister Gaze duration is fixed, ignoring status resistance.
  • Phantom Lancer’s Phantom Rush now toggles off after death.
  • When Spirit Breaker’s Charge of Darkness is halted, a rare crash occurs.
  • Oracle’s “Fate’s Edict Magic Damage Prevented” relic now correctly counts all damage avoided by the spell. Hero relics are no longer developing in Turbo.

While certain buffs would have been good to see in patch 7.33e, we know that they are being worked on for The International 2023 (TI12). Along with the release of patch 7.33e, it was also announced that patch 7.34 will be published in early August, ahead of the TI12 qualifiers. The qualifications start on August 17th, so it will be at least a few days before that.
