Dread criticized Valve for broken Dota 2 balancing

Andrey 'Dread' Golubev believes that the latest updates for Dota 2 have broken the game meta balancing. According to the streamer's opinion, Pudge is now an incredibly strong hero against the background of the rest.

The content maker shared the relevant opinion with the viewers of his personal Twitch broadcast.

"I have a speed of three hundred, and the man has a hookshot how many flies, at what speed? It's amazing. And the amount of demage he does is unbelievable. Dota 2, my ass, my guts out. It's a goddamn dumbass game for dumbasses. Purely 112 heroes, I don't care. Pudge is the only one that works. Took a fucking balance of bullshit and made it. Please play. Enjoy the game."

On the night of June 25, Valve released a new literal update, patch 7.36c, to rebalance the game's meta. In it, the developers weakened Pudge a bit by removing the increase in hook speed by the FLAYER'S HOOK aspect. The bonus to the power of the FLESH HEAP ability and the duration of MEAT SHIELD were also reduced. Despite the weakening, the hero has maintained its popularity, and its winrate is currently at 52.2%.
