Patch 7.21c
Released



Another minor balance patch has been applied to Dota 2. Among many other adjustments we also see another nerf to Midas as well as a handful of meta-heroes getting hit by the nerf bat. Prominent examples are Kunkka, Viper, Juggernaut as well as Lifestealer and Monkey King. Experience on Denies receives another adjustment too.
Some off-meta heroes have also received buffs such as Storm Spirit, Lina or Ancient Apparition

Hopefully this is enough to move away from the Midas-fest we have had in the last couple of weeks x)
Really suprised that they actually took away Kunkka's Tidebringer for denies though. Might just kill him as a core...

Viper super nerfed. Not unexpected.

AA got the biggest buff? Mostly nerfs.

Though Death Prophet also got a lot of buff.

Kunka nerf is harder than i expected, although tide was too strong in denies, was it really necessary to take it out completely?.

I think QOP need a rework, at this point either she will hit too hard or not enough, 340 AOE pure damage at minute 8 seems too much.

DP buffs is quite big, with carrion swarm costing 20/10 mana less at level 1/2 respectively increase it's lane dominance.

No more midas feast, and Viper face-rolling everything with ease.

I think I'm done with Dota 2 for a while. The incompetence behind the patch changes has become evident, especially with how heroes are made completely unviable or straight-up bad at a whim.

Was any hero below 51% win rate that got slightly nerfed? Viper was up at 58% win rate and 40% pick rate if that is the one you care about.

That Storm Spirit change is one of those things that make me think “why did it do that in the first place?”. Never understood the point of that self slow.
NO MORE CHEN NERFS!!!

Xp changes + pango dodging real nerfs means we’re in for another month of pango every game

And I really don’t like changing np like that — treants should be strong in lane, nerf other parts of the hero like his base dmg or revert some of his weird buffs

I suppose it was added to counterbalance to effect of remnant, since you can drag it to one then run to it to cast another one. with lighting overload, it's pretty good damage, however throughout the years static remnant has been nerfed and buffed countless time which made to mechanic in the first place obsolete.

PS: Storm Spirit's ult when he was first released worked as a combined vacuum+current agha vortex, it was pretty good and energized well with AOE skills. Maybe it had an effect on the balance of vortex.
