The jury is out: Pros react to Dota 2 Patch 7.36
The pros are scratching their heads with the new Dota 2 Patch 7.36 drop, inducing chaos into the competitive landscape.
The patch is akin to a squirrel running on steroids, with a massive change in the meta, courtesy of Innates and Facets, two newly introduced mechanics to the game.
But what do the Dota 2 pros really think about the new patch? Let’s find out.
Team Liquid woke up on the wrong side of the bed
Dota 2 Patch 7.36 dropped a day after Team Liquid’s early exit from the DreamLeague Season 23 group stage. Had they persevered a bit longer, they might have gotten a chance, just like Gaimin Gladiators did, to find their groove again.
Also Team Liquid’s charismatic captain Insania realises that he’s bad at reading alphabets. Perhaps, he wrongly picked a different hero at PGL Wallachia S1 or DreamLeague S23? Poggers.
Pros love Patch 7.36
While the patch has brought a big upheaval in the community, many pros are singing praises for Valve and IceFrog for redefining the game.

All part of their masterplan to learn how League…erm… Dota works.
