The Frostivus update, Dota 2 patch 7.35, dropped in the middle of a major tournament and Valve’s finally now doing the finetuning with patch 7.35b.

While professional players at ESL One Kuala Lumpur might have had a difficult time adapting to the changes on the fly, it didn’t take long for a new meta to emerge. After 7.35, spell casters like Leshrac, Death Prophet, and similar heroes returned as the biggest winners of Dota 2 patch 7.35.

Valve seems to be on high alert this time around, though, as patch 7.35b has addressed some of the most broken aspects of 7.35 immediately.

The holy trifecta had a brief run

The main reason why spell caster skyrocketed in popularity was because of the buffs that Bloodstone, Shiva’s Guard, and Veil of Discord received. With these three becoming more accessible and useful for the spell casters, they gained traction that led to more than an eight percent increase in their win rates.

These items were tuned down in patch 7.35b, though, so we’ll see how spell caster will hold their own in the coming days.

Solar Crest’s dominance ends

Solar Crest used to be an item that was mainly farmed by supports. Most recently, it became a priority item for offlaners as they would rush to build it as their first item. Like the spell casters’ paradise, Solar Crest was also heavily tuned down to make room for more variety in the offlane item builds.
