Valve recently revealed Patch 7.34d for Dota 2, and with it comes a plethora of buffs, nerfs, and tweaks. Some of these changes were easily predicted by the community after seeing the heroes in play during ESL DreamLeague Season 21. With The International 2023 starting in a week's time, it will be interesting to see how much the latest patch affects the current meta and plans of participating players.One of the biggest nerfs that players will surely be looking for when they hear of a pre-TI patch is that of Phantom Assassin. The Dota 2 hero has been a menace to deal with in the current meta, with pros either banning it or winning matches cleanly with it.Other than Phantom Assassin, nerfs were also dealt to Invoker, Pangolier, Treant Protector, Vengeful Spirit, and more.
