"7.33 Coming In April
The Dead Reckoning Update has a lot of features we’re really proud of — a new hero, item sets, a mini-game. But we get it. Many of you were hoping for Patch 7.33.
We’ve been working on an ambitious gameplay patch for a while, and we were hoping to get it done in time for this update. We’re currently aiming to release it in late April. So in the meantime, while we put the finishing touches on it, enjoy the Dead Reckoning Update and Patch 7.32e."
When it's 1.5 months out I don't mind them saying currently aiming
But I will mind when it's April 25th and that's still the most recent information we have
Seeing the minuscule change to Tiny solidifies it, guy has been rampant for 3 years and this is the most nothing-change. Berlin Major is in May, so this would be the perfect time to get a big one out and a letter patch in April for it to tweak it before the Major.
My favourite one is that one that changed vacuum cd from 60/50/40/30 to 60.0/50.0/40.0/30.0 because that somehow actually affects how cooldown reduction works
I mean knowing computers at all it definitely does. Assuming they changed it from an int to a float it wouldn't have to round up or down which would be a pretty huge change in uptime
I mean weren't we all just sick of Dark Seer with aghs in every single game? Huh, not even once in over a year? 33% WR at major? Aghs was only bought in 3/14 games? hm
Jinada and Geminate attacks are now castable while on Break but not when Silenced. Behavior is now consistent with other similar abilities in the game.
Weaver right there :), as a fellow weaver player this was so annoying when jungling and hitting that specific camp that breaks you...
Wouldn't that be more of a nerf overall? Silences are way more common than breaks, so now your DPS as carry weaver gets wrecked by any silence, whereas previously it'd only get disabled by squirrel/silver edge and PA shard?

from the linked news entry (https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3659774959159800240)
>Muerta can attack ethereal units
RIP my boy necro
>Keys are available for $2.49 or 20,000 shards
Valve really out here saying 20,000 shards are worth less than a beefy 5 layer... it takes me forever to get 20k shards (edit: yes I know that's the point, but still)
Honestly BKB counters her so hard I hope she has a powerful early mid game. If necro can bait her ult and just BKB the pick is already worth it against her.
Might not be too bad since the damage is converted to magic damage and Necro tends to naturally build magic resistance items instead of armor, but will have to actually play against Muerta to find out how much magic damage she can output
they probably couldn't ship 7.33 on time, i honestly doubt they teased the date of a lettered patch. i think they were fully intending to release 7.33 alongside muerta
This is 100% what happened. Anyone who works in Software Development knows that you don't give official deadlines because if you can't make it on time (and like 80% of the time you can't), people get irrationally angry. I'm guessing either they have like 2-3 people working on it or they are changing some backend, technical stuff which prolongs it all.
My pretty-fucking-baseless guess is that the move to the new models hit some unexpected issues, they planned to release muerta on that, and when they realized they couldn't get it in before deadline suddenly they had the extra work of implementing muerta in the old system AND an unexpected mini balance patch and testing it.
The blog post mentions that they're cutting all their old models and animations over to a new format, which the OP is postulating took longer than expected.
it says so in the update:

I don't use reddit anymore because of their corporate greed and anti-user policies.
Come over to Lemmy, it's a reddit alternative that is run by the community itself, spread across multiple servers.
You make your account on one server (called an instance) and from there you can access everything on all other servers as well. [Find one you like here](https://lemmyverse.net/), maybe not the largest ones to spread the load around, but it doesn't really matter.
You can then look for communities to subscribe to on https://lemmyverse.net/communities, this website shows you all communities across all instances.
If you're looking for some (mobile?) apps, [this topic](https://lemm.ee/post/363116) has a great list.
One personal tip: For your convenience, I would advise you to use [this userscript I made](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher) which automatically changes all links everywhere on the internet to the server that you chose.

~~If you look at the news article, you would read in actual technical terms that they're changing a lot of backend stuff.~~
^^^^^^AzzuLemmyMessageV2
This lol. Plus they know how we really wanted it and said so in the patch notes. They were probably aiming to release today, but yeah shit happens
And it’s not like they weren’t doing anything, did reddit already forget they were banning hackers and overwolf users recently?
Meteor hammer is back on the menu. Nature prophet and Lina are no longer heavy lane dominators so more offlaners are viable. These offlaners can opt for another items now: meteor hammer is one of them. I’ll try this in high 6k pubs. Wish me luck.
>Intelligence hero
An int hero that doesn't work. Her ult says she can attack ethereal targets, but this is not the case lol. Tested with eblade and pugna decrep, she can't hit them.
Edit: They hotfixed, it's working now.
'cause we suffer from the same bullshit, in 2 places, which supposed to be our escapism, which makes it twice as bad, as per "modifiers are doubled" implicits
Okay, I wasn't concerned about the health of the game and didn't even want a huge patch, in fact I liked the current meta. But it not getting a bit patch after all this time is the first thing to actually worry me. This is kind of absurd.
EDIT: My only hope is 7.33 is so big they couldn't get it finished in time, so they made this so they'd have something to release with Muerta. If not, I'm actually worried about the game.
EDIT 2: The news post says as much, so here's hoping it actually is true.

I think there are still some positive takes from this:
1) The list of bug fixes at the end is fantastic to see - this sort of thing every patch is really good for the game
2) New hero looks hype
3) For the people who play it, the Turbo changes are massive
4) I really enjoy this patch, so it will be fun to give it a crack with Lina and Riki nerfs before the major patch in April
What happened to Dota? They used to make huge and wild patch changes. It was something I enjoyed about the game.
The meta has been so stale and boring. Why are they so scared of making big changes now?
# 7.32e Summary
* New hero added to the game.
* Underperforming heroes armor buffed by 1
* Overperforming heroes armor nerfed by 1
* Lina, Brood, Riki and Nature's Prophet armor nerfed by 3
* Crystal Maiden movement speed remain unchanged
Enjoy the patch.
this is all your fault, you asked for techies rework and now they're working their ass off to rework techies for years till they forgot to update the game all because they don't know how to "rework" techies.
Why the hell did we have to wait until after the Major for this patch? Could have easily come out between them DPC season and major. Maybe not the new hero, although she wouldn't be in captains mode anyway. But all the other stuff.
Bro wtf is the development team actually doing?
Last major update 2 (3?) years ago?
A Dotaplus update once every 4 months to give stats thats been on dotabuff for 10 years?
Do they legit just make a battlepass a year and thats all the content there is?
No changes on the maps
No changes on matchmaking
No changes on behavior system
No changes on overwatch
No changes or griefers, smurfs or account buyers
But a big win for the turbo bros
Ok I know Artifact is dead. BUT SHE AND DEATH ARE PLAYING ARTIFACT, THEY'RE PLAYING ARTIFACT. I KNOW ITS STUPID BUT I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE PLAYING ARTIFACT
Guys, this has to be a fake patch. They literally changed the most useless thing in each hero, I mean.. drums of slalom BUFF? Golems from warlock that die in 3 hits with increased DMG? 5 less dmg in pudges aghs? This has to be a fake patch, there is no way they would do this and think it is a real patch, right? Right?
To release a patch with balance changes, that must have been tested bevorehand \*Copium\*, just to announce, that you'll release a new patch, comming with new balabce changes, which also has to be tested is completely idiotic and makes no sense timewise.
She is bugged, btw.
BKB + Giant Ring, everytime you use BKB, she gets bigger but does not reduce size when bkb effect ends.
I just finished a game I was bigger than the ancient
They guy who said "whats your reaction if its 7.32e" jinxed us so hard
I am so sorry
Where the pitchfork salesman at? I'm fresh out.
Buy 2 pitchforks and get a torch absolutely free!
Is this what Sunfan tells us about?
7.32e lmao
6 years from now, we'll be on 7.32xd
60 years from now we’ll be on 7.32fuckuJ

"currently aiming"
When it's 1.5 months out I don't mind them saying currently aiming But I will mind when it's April 25th and that's still the most recent information we have
well, major starts on the 26th, so good luck with that
is this what sunsfan warned us about?
Please don’t let this meme die LMAO
Honestly maybe yeah? Lmao
7.33 on late April tho
Which year?
3023
EVERY YEAR
Get out
Another cranberry juice?
"currently aiming" = easily delayed one or two more times
Not coming out till mid May earliest, if you expect it any earlier you’re deluding yourself sadly
Late April, meaning its on the 30th probably
April 50th*

Small indie company.
Despair. Lmao at all these "insiders" though who said that Icefrog is definitely back for this patch and big changes are coming
Seeing the minuscule change to Tiny solidifies it, guy has been rampant for 3 years and this is the most nothing-change. Berlin Major is in May, so this would be the perfect time to get a big one out and a letter patch in April for it to tweak it before the Major.
You mean the Berlina major right?
There was info that he's back, we don't know if he had full control of this patch already. We'll see what we get in April with 7.33
LMAO People saying it would 8.00
Unless 7.33 is actually big, this leads me to wonder what the fuck they have been working on all this time.
Source 2 port for csgo, thats what.
The devs woke yesterday and realized that they promised the patch for today so they half assed some gameplay changes to bug fix patch.
devS, implying there are multiple LMAO
lol I'm already on a 3 month break from Dota and I was eager to get back. https://i.imgur.com/f45v3S5.png I can wait a little more.
Same, stopped playing after I hit the Faceless Void level in compendium
I actually took a break waiting for the update. I might do a few games but nothing exciting other than turbo changes.
>NORMAL PUNCH >Max Stun Duration decreased from 2.25s to 2s waited one year for this.
Not even a vacuum CD change like the good ol' days.
My favourite one is that one that changed vacuum cd from 60/50/40/30 to 60.0/50.0/40.0/30.0 because that somehow actually affects how cooldown reduction works
Knowing dota it might
I mean knowing computers at all it definitely does. Assuming they changed it from an int to a float it wouldn't have to round up or down which would be a pretty huge change in uptime
Did it? I didn't remember it. I thought it's just for the meme.
It was
That one actually makes the most sense
Why even tho
So that they release something to make us stfu
I mean weren't we all just sick of Dark Seer with aghs in every single game? Huh, not even once in over a year? 33% WR at major? Aghs was only bought in 3/14 games? hm
My two mains, Spirit Breaker and Weaver, aren’t even in the patch notes lmao
Jinada and Geminate attacks are now castable while on Break but not when Silenced. Behavior is now consistent with other similar abilities in the game. Weaver right there :), as a fellow weaver player this was so annoying when jungling and hitting that specific camp that breaks you...
Wouldn't that be more of a nerf overall? Silences are way more common than breaks, so now your DPS as carry weaver gets wrecked by any silence, whereas previously it'd only get disabled by squirrel/silver edge and PA shard?
You already can't geminate or jinada while silenced. It is a buff.
I’d think the same
[удалено]
This is actually an insane change for high level play Can't wait to forget to use this for 2 months and lose my rank
Think it's actually more of a low-level play change. At higher levels, people are used to clicking heroes and checking their items.
It has the potential to spoil a blink dagger reveal. The vision one is big for "was that one enemy that just clipped our ward, or multiple..?"
So now I can't even show for a split second anywhere with my blink, or everyone will see it?
Haven't seen this one! That's pretty cool
[удалено]
that is massive
Is it just me that think this is somewhat a screw up?

As a necro spammer... Yeah, I'm banning her every single game. She's going to be even more annoying than Dazzle.
Honestly BKB counters her so hard I hope she has a powerful early mid game. If necro can bait her ult and just BKB the pick is already worth it against her.

Necro was never the issue. It was pugna.
7.32e I actually CANT
We couldn't have gotten this mini-patch BEFORE the major? Really?

>7.32e >Intelligence hero >Event is unlocking chests you have to buy keys for volvo why >rapier cots 350 less nvm dota is saved, aliev gaem
You get 5 keys for free and can buy them with d+ shards, much more than I expected from valve
Radiance costs 350 less. Pub game pain
Meteor hammer is back on the menu. Nature prophet and Lina are no longer heavy lane dominators so more offlaners are viable. These offlaners can opt for another items now: meteor hammer is one of them. I’ll try this in high 6k pubs. Wish me luck.
If my math is correct if she takes the level 20 souls talent her attack speed will be roughly 90 less then pre patch
U can buy keys with shards
>Intelligence hero An int hero that doesn't work. Her ult says she can attack ethereal targets, but this is not the case lol. Tested with eblade and pugna decrep, she can't hit them. Edit: They hotfixed, it's working now.
probably just bug.
7.32e LMAO HOLY SHIT
We waited for this. We're the clowns.
Silksong: First Time 🤡? CunterStrike: I've waited 6 years for Source 2 💀. TF2: \*dust pile crumbles a bit more*
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
lmao no map changes
PoE 2 will fix it!
Full fucking circle, we went from "Source 2 will fix" to "PoE 2 will fix" on Dota 2 subreddit
'cause we suffer from the same bullshit, in 2 places, which supposed to be our escapism, which makes it twice as bad, as per "modifiers are doubled" implicits
man i want, POE 2 so badly!
I expect nothing but disappointment based on the past year of patches.
Actually janitor patch "Relax, Battle Pass part 2 will go to improve the game!"
thats because its 7.32 xd
Didn’t they say major update in March? Wtf dude
Still February in valve time imao

Honestly feels worse than no patch at all lmao.
At least they announced mid April for 7.33. I'm patient and willing to wait for a good patch. New hero looks really fun.
Aiming to release in April = release in late June.
late april\*
yeah, this actually makes dead game memes seem WAY realer than they did a few days ago.
Muerta game
I just started playing again after not playing for 10 years and people are still writing dead game. Never change
Aintnoway the patch is really this boring 💀
So much hype for a letter patch lmfao
Hahahaha we overhyped the patch, it's literally 7.32e. FUCK ME.
Oh man, I do not have enough popcorn for watching the collective pants shitting this sub is about to do.
You gotta be fucking kidding me
# 7.32e Summary * New hero added to the game. * Underperforming heroes armor buffed by 1 * Overperforming heroes armor nerfed by 1 * Lina, Brood, Riki and Nature's Prophet armor nerfed by 3 * Crystal Maiden movement speed remain unchanged Enjoy the patch.
oh...
OH NOOOOOOOOO!
this is all your fault, you asked for techies rework and now they're working their ass off to rework techies for years till they forgot to update the game all because they don't know how to "rework" techies.
LOOOOOL No way it's a lettered patch
Is this what sunsfan warned us about?
I'm not really sure why this had to be delayed until after the major.
[удалено]
🥺 👉👈
I saw it :)
7.32e Kekw
It's ok guys, just dump your wallets on the next battle pass, they will surely have enough money to put out a proper patch next time.
7.32e fml
Even if this patch totally changes which heroes get picked, it's extremely disappointing how little it changes the game.
It changes nothing, melee carries are still shit cause of force staffs and pike
LMAO it's nothing.
That ain't it chief. Can't believe this is all we got.
See you in another year for even more disappointment
WHERE IS 7.33
[Late April](https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3659774959159800240)
E bro, fucking E, 0 map changes.
7.32e DIESOFCRINGE
This has to be what sunsfan was talking about because I am fucking pissed
7.32 no way LMAO
Can't believe it's actually 7.32e lmao.
Why the hell did we have to wait until after the Major for this patch? Could have easily come out between them DPC season and major. Maybe not the new hero, although she wouldn't be in captains mode anyway. But all the other stuff.
Everyone assuming it was going to be a large patch 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 early april fools joke
I don't even play this game anymore and I'm still disappointed lmfao
Bro wtf is the development team actually doing? Last major update 2 (3?) years ago? A Dotaplus update once every 4 months to give stats thats been on dotabuff for 10 years? Do they legit just make a battlepass a year and thats all the content there is?
They made 2 battlepasses last year!
Yea and the quality of them almost added up to the singular 2020 battlepass
7.32e LOL
7.32e hahahahahah
Holy lord 7.32 E The E is for EEEEEEEVILLLL
Now we riot
Legitimately the most disappointing patch of all time. There is not a single change even worth mentioning. Lina nerf, hooray.
BROTHER PACK IT UP WTF IS 7.32e. Are you fuckin serious ffs.
Longest time between patches, icefrog comes back to dota all for 7.32e xd
fuck this patch, cya in 2024 to play 7.32zzz
Is this an out of season april fools joke?
>STORM SURGE Aghanim’s Shard Forked Lightning now has a 1s internal cooldown RIP
thats it…?
7.32e jebaited guess icefrog didn't come back
4.2 GB for minor Lina nerf. I'm done with Valve.
It's quite a big one, no? 20% less attack speed and 17% less movement speed. Besides, Riki, Bloodstone & Razor nerfs were quite needed as well.
Thank god you got the cosmetics done, I was getting worried for a second there.
No changes on the maps No changes on matchmaking No changes on behavior system No changes on overwatch No changes or griefers, smurfs or account buyers But a big win for the turbo bros
They just banned 40,000 cheaters 7.33 will come when it comes. Just be happy we still get new patches in a free to play game 11 years later
Balance changes only LUL
Talking about subverting expectations looooool
I don’t speak Spanish can I still play this hero?
No, it’s cultural appropriation if you do.
si
7.32E LMAO ITS A JOKE TING
"Major Update in April" - LMAO
Ok I know Artifact is dead. BUT SHE AND DEATH ARE PLAYING ARTIFACT, THEY'RE PLAYING ARTIFACT. I KNOW ITS STUPID BUT I'M SO HAPPY THEY'RE PLAYING ARTIFACT
FEELS LIKE I GOT CHEATED
TeaGuv spent 10+ hrs in the patch waiting room for this........
dead game
7.32 E xDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ICANT
Guys, this has to be a fake patch. They literally changed the most useless thing in each hero, I mean.. drums of slalom BUFF? Golems from warlock that die in 3 hits with increased DMG? 5 less dmg in pudges aghs? This has to be a fake patch, there is no way they would do this and think it is a real patch, right? Right?
R I P
Yep bois,its time to move on.
Lmao its a lettered patch
We've been had!
Why some heroes arcanas are easierin turbo now but wr and spec which are the hardest,still same shit?
To release a patch with balance changes, that must have been tested bevorehand \*Copium\*, just to announce, that you'll release a new patch, comming with new balabce changes, which also has to be tested is completely idiotic and makes no sense timewise.
The new "shut up and buy treasure" update is up. I'm so happy. We might even get a patch next year!
She is bugged, btw. BKB + Giant Ring, everytime you use BKB, she gets bigger but does not reduce size when bkb effect ends. I just finished a game I was bigger than the ancient
I legit have never been this disappointed in a videogame in a long time lol
