It has been two weeks since Dota 2’s 7.37 gameplay patch was released, and today we have the release of 7.37b with some interesting buffs and nerfs.
With the release of Patch 7.37, the rise of support Tinker came to the forefront of Dota 2, with some interesting changes to the previously added Repair Bots aspect of March of the Machines. While the release of August’s 7.37 patch originally had quite a few buffs for the hero, today’s 7.37b patch sees the nerf hammer hitting the robot, with a few other nerfs and buffs along the way for other heroes and items.
Item updates
Gleipnir
Kaya
Yasha and Kaya
Kaya and Sange
Meteor Hammer
Neutral item updates
With the return of Ironwood Tree as a Tier 1 Neutral Item in 7.37, a small nerf to cast range of the item.
Hero updates
There are multiple buffs and nerfs which have come with patch 7.37b. As mentioned before, the support Tinker Facet is definitely one of the most interesting nerfs, while buffs to Enchantress and Death Prophet are almost entirely unneeded.
Nerfs
Ember Spirit
Ember Spirit has seen a pretty big nerf coming his way in this patch, with his Immolation and Sleight of Fist both getting hit. Not only that but within his talents, he saw even more nerfs.
Tinker
As we have already mentioned, the support Tinker Repair Bots Facet has seen a pretty sizeable nerf, while March of the Machines itself and Defense Matrix were both hit with increased mana costs.
Buffs
Invoker
With a pretty decent Win Rate of around 47%, Invoker has been given a rather interesting buff where Quas, Wex, Exort, and Invoke can now all be used and channeled while he remains invisible.
There are many more hero changes, both buffs and nerfs, which can be found here. It will be interesting to see how they affect the game over the next few weeks.
