The assistant coach for the Western European team Cloud9, Alexey 'TheChosenOne' Karanovich, highlighted five key changes in the recent Dota 2 patch 7.37b:
1. Mirana Buff: Mirana received several minor buffs for both laning and overall gameplay. Particularly, the Solar Flare aspect is promising for both support and carry roles.
2. Minor Nerfs to Tinker, Ember Spirit, and Omniknight: These heroes remain strong and capable of consistently securing victories.
3. Tusk Returns: Tusk has been buffed with increased stun duration on his 2nd and 4th abilities, allowing him to chain stun opponents for over 3 seconds.
4. No More Free Bottles from Alchemist: Alchemist's shard buff makes the Mixologist aspect a good alternative, especially for position 4 if the mid-laner does not need to pull a bottle.
5. Mars's New Aspect: The Victory Feast aspect for Mars has been significantly and underappreciatedly buffed. It’s worth paying more attention to.
Patch 7.37b introduced several balance adjustments in Dota 2, affecting six items, including one neutral item, and over 60 heroes, including Tinker, Visage, Invoker, and others.
