Nerfs, nerfs and more nerfs.

Code red! Code Red! A new Dota 2 patch is out! Unfortunately, it's not Act 3 of Crownfall, nor Ringmaster. But rather a gameplay update. The Dota 2 Patch 7.36c mainly features nerfs, bringing down a lot of the dominant heroes. However, the patch isn't all nerfs, there are the rare buffs here and there. Regardless, the 7.36c patch further balances the game.
