Players have complained about the significant nerf to one of the key mechanics in Dota 2

Dota 2 players are complaining that one of the game's key mechanics - talents, has been nerfed so severely that they are nearly useless until a later level.

The issue is gaining traction on Reddit.

“Talents have been nerfed so much that it's almost never worth picking them at level 10. I almost always skip them and put an extra point into a skill, not picking a level 10 talent until level 16. What’s the point of level 10 talents in this situation?”

Many agreed that investing in talents early in the game often doesn’t yield noticeable results. Others noted that, in most cases, it is indeed better to skip the level 10 talent and focus on skills.

However, some pointed out that there are still a few heroes whose talents haven't been overly nerfed, and talents for heroes like Abaddon, Wraith King, and Sniper remain useful.

It is worth noting that previously, a method was discovered to use ultimate abilities three times in a row in Dota 2 matches.
