Dota 2 7.30e: Most important changes in the recent update

Dota 2 hit us with the awaited post TI patch 7.30e, with The International now taking a backseat. Major nerfs and rebalances have been added to TI favourite Items and Heroes.

Dota 2 7.30e patch is the most unbalanced patch we have ever seen. Even though rebalancing is the target, major nerfs prevent TI favourite heroes and items from becoming Meta again for a long time.

There is also a Silver lining, owing to the fact that older heroes will become more viable again. There are major changes in damage numbers and spell interactions.

For most Dota 2 players change is constant. But meta shifts can also end Professional rosters entirely, as we have seen countless times.

Alas, the patch brought in more nerfs than any important additions to the game. But, there has been one UI change over the previous patch.

The shared tango now also shows the timer before which the tango must be used. It is a useful quality of life improvement.

Also, Marci is extremely broken and overpowered at the moment. As a result, we hope that the rebalances arrive soon.
