Valve has disrupted the old meta in patch 7.35b: top Dota 2 heroes lost up to 10% win rate

The new patch 7.35b has drastically changed the gameplay in Dota 2 within just a few hours. Two heroes, Leshrac and Outworld Destroyer, which were considered the strongest until the latest update, lost around 8% win rate instantly.

This is evidenced by data from the DotaBuff website.

Leshrac was considered one of the best heroes in the previous patch but has significantly dropped in terms of victories. If previously his win rate was 57%, it has now plummeted to 49.53%.

A similar situation occurred with Outworld Destroyer. Previously winning in 60.53% of matches, shortly after the release of patch 7.35b, his win rate dropped to 52.23%.

The items frequently purchased on these heroes were also affected by the changes. Now, Bloodstone on Leshrac and Solar Crest on Outworld Destroyer are not as strong as they used to be.

It's worth noting that Valve unexpectedly released the new patch 7.35b, which significantly adjusted the hero balance and introduced changes to new items in Dota 2.
