Team Spirit unexpectedly came to Valve's defense: what happened

Valve was recently slammed by a steamer for Team Spirit, Illidan Pivtsev, due to the patch 7.36 release that significantly altered the game. Those who do not like the new version can go back to playing old Dota.

Esports.ru conducted this interview.

"I think those who complain about casualness can easily go back to iccup and continue playing DotA Allstars, and personally for me, simplifying tedious mechanics of certain things is an inevitable progress of the discipline"

This was a response to criticism from players and some analysts who called patch 7.36 with its changes to heroes' abilities too casual. Additionally, Illidan believes that the gameplay update is reminiscent of patch 7.00 for Dota 2. However, he noted that while this update is not as impactful, it also does not break the game's balance.

We recall NS’ criticism of patch 7.36 for Dota 2 where he outlined the main problem with the game.
