Luna and Gaben Dota 2

There are many requests for Valve to fix a new Dota 2 bug soon after patch 7.37 came out. This causes heroes in certain matches to appear without their facets, rendering them significantly weaker.

The Reddit community provided more information about this issue.

A Reddit user called JokeOfEverything shared some stats concerning the problem and said that it was mostly affecting Luna which made it very important as she led to defeat in nearly all the affected games.

"I collect match data from Steam and am quite surprised at how often this happens: 63 times out of 1.8 million matches.

It happened with Luna 33 times. She won only 1 of those matches.

Lifestealer - 14 times. Won 1.

Magnus - 5 times. Won 3 (lol).

Faceless Void - 4 times, won 2.

Windranger - 4 times, won 2.

Lina, Sniper, Pudge - once each. All won.

As you can see, this can seriously impact the gameplay of certain heroes without facets. I suspect that for Luna and Lifestealer, it means you cannot use the affected abilities, which explains the terrible win rates"

It has been noted that possessed heroes cannot use active skills but also become weak compared to their rivals thereby negatively affecting their win rates while addressing the issue; players appealed to Valve. It is suggested that renaming aspects in patch 7.37 could be the main cause of this bug leading to technical glitches for some players.

In prior patches where Lone Druid turned into an invincible hero mainly because of its aspect’s ability to make him almost immune against physical attacks.
