Analyst Alexander «Santa» Koltan commented on the release of patch 7.36 for Dota 2. He duly appreciated the gameplay update.
The patch is a bomb, Dota 3 has finally arrived. It's what we've all been waiting for. There are so many new mechanics. Some heroes have simply been split into two paths, while others have been redesigned beyond recognition. I want to test all of this, play all of this. It's really cool, it's energizing!
«Many changes that were in the first «Dota» are made in this patch. What does that mean? It means this — IceFrog confirmed. Many doubted whether he was still involved, dead, resigned, or replaced by AI. This is IceFrog. The Father is still with us», —- Alexander «Santa» Koltan.
Update 7.36 was released on the night of May 23, 2024. Developers added innate abilities and aspects to all heroes, greatly diversifying gameplay. A new treasure trove with cosmetics also appeared in the game, and the second act of the narrative event «Fallen Crown» began.
Players have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Ringmaster, a hero announced during the playoffs of The International 2023. The character's release is planned for 2024 but without a specific date.
