Dota 2 Patch 7.32c: Valve Nerf Death Prophet, Marci and Chen

By | October 6, 2022

To balance the game, Dota 2 Patch 7.32c was released right before The International 11. The Dark Seer issue, which keeps the Normal Punch talent even after selling Aghanim’s Scepter, is one of the highly apparent problems that this patch fixes. It also nerfs heroes with high win rates, such Chen, Marci, and Death Prophet. Additionally, items like the Refresher Orb and Refresher Shard, which had been heavily dinerfed, have received some offset.

Dota 2 Patch 7.32c Valve Nerf Chen, Death Prophet, Marci

Dota Chen 2

Chen, who along with Enchantress developed the meta-“zoo” still commonly employed at Arlington Major, has great potential in terms of Healing and Pushing. According to Dotabuff, Chen also had a constant win rate of 54.35% and a total pick rate of 6% because of his talent.

The Divine Favor and Holy Persuasion talents have since been changed by Valve, which reduces Chen’s ability to deal significant damage with his zoo troops.

Dota 2 Marci

Marci is still a fan favorite in both pubs and pro matches despite receiving a significant nerf in patch 7.32 due to his versatility as a support, offlaner, and even carry. According to Dotabuff, Marci has an extremely high pick rate of 22.63% and a consistent victory percentage of 51.68%.

For her three skills, Marci was given another Nerf this time. Dispose has a shorter throw range and can no longer save pals in the vicinity of a black hole or the chronosphere. The impact of lowering Movement Speed and Attack Speed from the ultimate Unleash no now overcomes spell immunity, and Rebound’s cooldown is increased. As a result, the Black King Bar is now the most effective weapon against Marci.

Dota 2 Death Prophet

This hero had previously prevailed thanks to Ultimate Exorcism’s tremendous pounding power and Spirit Siphon’s excellent durability. Death Prophet has a consistent win percentage in bars and professional competitions while being dinerfed. Now that these two abilities have been nerfed, it may be possible to lessen the Death Prophet’s defense and pounding power.

Thanks to the Refresher Orb and Shard, which allowed heroes like Enigma, Tidehunter, and even Undying to activate their ultimate up to three times in a short period of time, heroes like these had previously succeeded. The two items received a significant nerf from Valve as well, and now they both have the same cooldown. This implies that the Refresher Shard will cool down if a Refresher Orb is used, and vice versa.

Refresher Orb and Shard have also received a nerf in that their cooldowns will no longer activate when placed in the backpack slot; instead, the hero must place the two items in the inventory in order for the cooldown to activate.
