Patch 7.36 is already in the game!

Dota 2's long-awaited balance update is now available, changing many attributes and abilities. Patch 7.36 also introduces several new mechanics to the game.

All characters have new innate abilities. They are of two types: some add a unique effect (Dawnbreaker reveals the entire map when the sun rises), and others add an additional level to one of the character's abilities (Kunkka has the Tidebringer ability from the start and it can still be upgraded four more times).

Facets have also been added to the game: they allow you to choose a unique playstyle that suits each player in a given situation. For example, Viper can choose between adding an AoE damage burst to Poison Attack, or increasing defensive buffs while Viper remains in Nethertoxin.. Facets can be changed at the start of the game, and are hidden from the enemy team until the match begins.

It should be noted that the patch brings a lot of balance changes to the game, both for characters and artifacts. The list of all the changes of the new update can be found on the official page.
