Dota 2 patch 7.32e official notes: Muerta debuts in The Dead Reckoning Update, with a few gameplay changes and more

As the Lima Major 2023 concluded, Valve has finally released the next Dota 2 update. While a portion of the community may be upset that the patch isn't the major upheaval that they were hoping for, it marks the debut of Muerta in the popular MOBA title alongside other gameplay, items, and hero updates.

Furthermore, Valve revealed that they were hard at work with patch 7.33, with the major update scheduled to arrive in a little more than a month's time.

Muerta is a Ranged Carry that functions as a Nuker and Disabler. The gun-slinging revenant has three active abilities and one passive. Currently, the hero doesn't have an Aghanim's Scepter or Aghanim's Shard upgrade, as is expected. It will likely take some time for the community to figure out the best playstyle for Muerta and the items that pair perfectly with her.

There are only a handful of gameplay updates that Dota 2 players must be aware of. Reinforced units are now going to take 10% less damage from creeps that are in control of players. Ranged Creeps in Dota 2 will spawn at Level 5 and the Glyph Tower Bonus Attack will now target five instead of four.

Beyond that, there's a wide range of changes to the popular Turbo mode, items, and hero updates that Dota 2 players will need to get acquainted with. In a separate blog post, Valve announced that the "ambitious gameplay" patch 7.33 will likely be released in Dota 2 in late April.

Without further ado, here are the official patch notes for update 7.32e in Dota 2.

Dota 2 patch 7.32e official notes

Muerta debuts

• With her fearsome trickshots, summoned spirits, and a sidearm to spare, Muerta's knack for taking lives was so impressive, Death himself put her on the payroll. A twin-pistoled engine of dead-eyed vengeance, Muerta shepherds wayward souls to the other side, whether they want to get there or not. And if they need more convincing, she’s ready to reveal her true form as a murderous spectral nightmare if it helps them die a little faster.

Abilities

• Dead Shot - Muerta fires a ghostly bankshot at an enemy unit or tree. When the bullet strikes, it damages and briefly slows, then ricochets in the targeted direction. The ricochet damages all units that it passes through, stopping when it hits a hero. Heroes hit by the ricochet will run in the direction of the shot.
• The Calling - Summons a group of revenants that slowly circle the targeted location. Enemies within the area are slowed and have reduced attack speed. Revenants deal damage and silence enemies as the pass through them.
• Gunslinger - Muerta’s attacks have a chance to fire a second shot at another target, prioritizing Heroes.
• Pierce the Veil - Muerta transforms, becoming immune to physical damage. All of her attack damage is dealt as magical damage. Muerta gains bonus attack damage and phased movement. Muerta can attack ethereal units but deals no damage to Magic Immune targets.

Dota 2 Turbo Mode changes
