NS named the most overpowered item of patch 7.36b that allows players to easily win matches

Valve has made the already strong artifact, Crimson Guard, overpowered as noted by Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov. The item is capable of blocking an astonishing amount of damage since patch 7.36b.

This was revealed by the former veteran e-sport player during his stream on Twitch.

"Crimson Guard is broken now, guys. Crimson Guard is a broken piece of ****. You take a hero with a lot of HP, any hero, take Crimson Guard, and this *** gives way too much. I don't know why they buffed it. It's absolutely broken. Currently, Crimson Guard gives protection of 175 damage. It blocks 175 damage from every hit, plus the armor on top, and that's it, game over"

The streamer was shocked when he saw that the developers had transformed the artifact into the only real meta-buster for this patch. As NS claims, heroes with crimson guard are absolutely invincible in high-level matches. He argued that there is already quite great damage blockage along with added armor and abilities from the hero which breaks balance in favor of easy wins.

It should be noted that Valve recently nerfed its previous top-meta champion considerably while releasing patch 7.36b”.
