The new patch 7.36c will have teams whose drafts are oriented towards the carry role operating in a more complicated environment, said Dmitry “CrystalMay” Korchenevyn who also joked that Valve nerfed Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk ahead of the Riyadh Masters 2024.

He made this comment on his Telegram channel.

‘If you are too lazy to read all patch notes, so in short – they just nerfed Yatoro for making it harder to win the Riyadh Masters 2024.

Even more fun is that the “Masters” will be’

According to him, following recent gameplay update in Dota 2, teams that heavily depend on their carries during drafting will struggle more and also sees how Team Falcon’s playstyle could benefit from this new patch 7.36c.
