March 2023 · 3 minute read

The new Dota 2 Patch 7.00 brings many changes to the game. For this reason, many fans criticize the update content and say the game is losing its identity.

Just as it happens when change arrives, the Dota 2 Patch 7.00 has divided gamers into two camps. While there are many players who can’t wait to get their hands on the update and try it out, there are also gamers who really don’t like the patch’s official description: “Your clash for the Ancients will never be the same.”

Fans criticize the new Dota 2 Patch 7.00

Dota 2 fans don’t like the new map and terrain changes. They believe that the current terrain represented Dota the best. Players also say that the stat benefits were also a good incentive for players to enhance their hero’s capabilities over time.

Players go as far as to say that the latest Dota 2 changes turn the game into a copy of League of Legends. Fans also criticize Valve for not giving them more time to test the update and have more feedback on the matter.

I also feel that the current CM and Zeus scepter upgrades were much better than the new ones since they increase the ultimate ability damage, something both need very badly, especially late game. Many of the planned changes, like the new terrain and hud system, as well as the talent trees and removing and replacing of various things that used to be core to Dota is making the game feel more like it’s being turned into a copy of League of Legends sadly. I feel that all those changes that do that isn’t such a good idea honestly, especially if you only allow one day of testing for people to see how they feel about it. The Techies changes is another change I don’t think is a good idea at all since he was already a great hero as he is, but these changes completely change what he is. […]

There’s just so much being done, but so little time given to work everything out now, I think there needs to be more feedback and reviews before it can make it fully live.

Dota 2 gamers also hate the update because it makes the game much easier, making it less challenging to play. It appears that Valve’s idea of evolution is not what players had expected. The company describes the Dota story as one of constant evolution, but fans think otherwise.

What do you think about the new Dota 2 Update 7.00? Do you think it adds value to the game?
