Dota 2 Patch 7.37 biggest hero changes

Well, as a seasoned Dota 2 player with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I must say that the recent changes in version 7.37 have certainly shaken things up! The tweaks to Poison Sting and Plague Ward seem fair enough, but Shadow Fiend’s adjustments have left me scratching my head a bit. Reducing Lasting Presence Facet’s max souls and decreasing the stack duration on Shadowraze could make him a bit more challenging to play effectively.

As a devoted Dota 2 enthusiast, I’m excited to share that the latest 7.37 patch brings about numerous changes in our beloved heroes. Fear not, for I’ve curated a handy guide to help you stay abreast of the most significant transformations!
