Dota 2 Patch 7.36c Key Hero Changes

Dota 2 patch 7.36c brought numerous hero changes. Many of the most important ones will be analyzed below.

Dragon Knight

His Fire Dragon facet now gives him 30% – 60% cleave damage. That’s 5% more than before. It may not seem very much, but it actually speeds up his farm considerably.

Drow Ranger

Her Multishot’s projectile speed is now 1300 instead of 1200, making the arrows harder to dodge.

Enigma

The movement speed of this hero was already bad: 290. But now it’s 280, which is absolutely awful. The damage dealt by Eideolons was also reduced by 2 at level 1.

Faceless Void

Void’s Time Zone facet was buffed significantly. Its cast range is now 625 and the attack speed manipulation is 70 at level 1. The radius was also increased by 100.

Hoodwink

Hoodwink’s Acorn Shot now gives 50 less attack range at every level.

Invoker

Invoker’s Mastermind now also triggers if Forge Spirits or other units under his command land a deny.

Legion Commander

Her Spoils of War facet was buffed. The assist bonus damage of Duel was increased by 1 at level 1, 2 at level 2, and 3 at level 3.

Leshrac

Valve

His Lightning Storm was nerfed once again. Its cast range is now just 600, making it harder to cast without taking damage against ranged heroes.

Lifestealer

This hero was completely destroyed. Corpse Eater now gives just 1 max HP bonus per kill instead of 2, and wards, cogs, etc. no longer count. On the other hand, you will get + 5 max HP for each hero you kill, but that’s nothing compared to the previous bonus.

Open Wounds now has a max slow of 35% – 50% instead of 50% at all levels. This decreases Lifestealer’s laning phase potential by a lot.

Lone Druid

His Unbearable facet now gives +15% bonus attack speed to True Form instead of 10%.

Medusa

Her Mana Pact facet now gives +3.5% attack speed bonus per second. Previously, it was just 3%. The maximum attack speed bonus you can get is 35% instead of 30%.

Necrophos

His Rapid Decay facet improves Ghost Shroud’s movement speed bonus by 40% instead of 25%. That’s a huge buff.

Night Stalker

This is another hero that received massive nerfs in Dota 2 patch 7.36c. Dark Ascension no longer refreshes the cooldowns of his abilities, which means that you can no longer use it like a Refresher.

The level 10 talent only improves the duration of the ultimate by 6s instead of 8s.

Aghanim’s Shard gives a lesser bonus to Hunter in the Night. Instead of a 30% max HP restore, you gain just a 25% bonus.

Pangolier

His Roll Up now has a duration of 2.25s instead of 2.75s. The slash range of Swashbuckle is augmented by just 200 by the level 10 talent. Previously, it was 250. The level 15 talent gives just 80 damage barrier per hero instead of 100.
