Dota 2 patch 7.32d official notes: Marci, Sniper, Wraith Pact, and more nerfed

While the competitive scene of Dota 2 runs through its annual off-season after the conclusion of The International, Valve has released a brand new patch to introduce a number of gameplay changes to the popular MOBA title. The post-TI patch brings buffs and nerfs based on how the meta performs during the TI season and patch 7.32d is no different.

The biggest change that both Dota 2 pros and casual games have been asking for some time now is the much-needed nerf to Wraith Pact. Patch 7.32 has done exactly that, with the popular item no longer reducing Magical or Pure damage. TI's most picked hero, Marci, has also been nerfed with her Rebound Cast Range, Jump Speed and Range, and Sidekick Lifesteal decreased.

Other notable Dota 2 heroes in the latest update that received nerfs include Pudge (Base Health Regen decreased while Flesh Heap cooldown increased), Primal Beast (Onslaught Damage decreased and Run can be canceled now if the hero is stunned during it), and Silencer (Arcane Curse radius decreased).
