Dota 2 Latest Update: Introducing Patch 7.35c

Last night, Valve rolled out a new patch for Dota 2, but at first glance, it appears to be a rather unremarkable update. Before diving headlong into the game, it’s worth noting that it feels like the developers are struggling to keep up with the highly anticipated main spring update that many players have been eagerly awaiting. Consequently, they have released a standard update for Dota 2 ahead of schedule.

So, why is this update considered standard? Simply put, it follows the usual formula, despite its unexpected arrival. It includes the customary fixes for heroes, items, and even neutrals. While the changes may not be groundbreaking, they are still worth exploring. Let’s delve into the details below to uncover what exactly has been altered in this latest patch.
