Patch 7.36a: Biggest hero buffs and nerfs

OP heroes with imba Innates and Facets have been nerfed.

Valve launches Patch 7.36a just four days after the latest game-changing Patch 7.36. In this update, Valve fixed more than 80 bugs that mainly came alongside Patch 7.36. Valve also tweaked more than 50 heroes with buffs, nerfs, or ability adjustments.

Valve devs on a cleaning spree

In Patch 7.36a, we saw a long list of bug fixes which a majority of them came after the introduction of Innate Abilities and hero Facets. One of the fixes include the bug where players cannot use Force Staff or Hurricane Pike when Leashed by heroes like Slark.

Valve devs also fixed crashes that happened when using Lich's Chain Frost, Lycan's Shapeshift, Mars' Arena of Blood, Morphling's Replicate, Silencer's Glaive of Wisdom, and Venomancer's Plague Ward.

The Patch 7.36a also included more bug fixes affecting hero abilities that didn't work, have faulty formula, have tooltip inaccuracies, plus a wide range of other errors and dysfunctions.
