Nix on Patch 7.36: «Why are they making the game so casual? I don't understand»

Streamer Alexander «Nix» Levin evaluated the changes brought by Patch 7.36 for Dota 2. He expressed dissatisfaction with the developers continually simplifying the game.

«Honestly, I didn't expect Valve to be able to change anything; if they could, they would have done it earlier. There are two options here: either the developers can't, or they believe the current 'Dota' is the perfect balance.

Why are they making the game so casual? I don't understand. Why are they simplifying the game? Now you don't even need to click on heroes; you don't need to do anything; you can just raise your hands. It's like in 'League of Legends,' where there are no active items, and the hero fights on their own.

Why is humanity degrading so much each year that it can't handle simple tasks? Remember gaming in the 2000s, how difficult it was to play games. Now everything is being simplified, even videos people can't watch anymore, they've been shortened to 15 seconds», — Alexander «Nix» Levin.

Patch 7.36 was released on May 24, 2024. All heroes received innate abilities and aspects. A few days later, Valve released Patch 7.36a, which fixed several bugs.
