When will Valve finally respond to the cries for a new gameplay patch?
Tundra Esports coach, David “MoonMeander” Tan, called Dota 2’s Universal heroes into question amidst PGL Wallachia Season 1. Comparing Timbersaw to Treant Protector, MoonMeander commented that “it’s boring to watch the same [Universal] heroes dominate for years.”
Lvl 2 hero btw, higher base hp than treant protector. Universal heroes needs to be looked at next patch. It’s boring to watch the same heroes dominate for years. The last “nerf” to pango was actually a buff as well
Universal heroes have been around in Dota since patch 7.33 from August 2023. It is nearly a year and the only change they had was an upgrade to the base attack bonus per point of attribute from 0.6 to 0.7. This change, while seemingly insignificant, made a major difference that added to Universal heroes’ prowess. Here’s why.

Universal heroes are definitely powerful, but perhaps not in an utterly broken way. However, this doesn’t change the fact that there is an urgent need for a new gameplay patch.
A young pro player like Ivan “Pure” Moskalenko affirming that Dota is dying should be a clear indication that this current state of game has gone far long enough.
