Dota 2 7.06f patch dropped in aftermath of The International 7

Late Sunday night, Icefrog and the Dota 2 crew released the modest-sized but major 7.06f patch. The update makes some pretty severe changes to a number of heroes that saw success at The International 7.

For instance, Lich’s Chain Frost, the bouncing ult that slows any hero it hits, had its mini-stun removed from the initial target, which was used in many TI7 games in the early stages. Nature’s Prophet’s Sprout also had a hit to the flying vision, which was essential for scoping out heroes in the brush of the edge of the map.

Earthshaker also had two of his iconic moves hit, with a mana increase on Enchant Totem and a massive increase of cooldown on Fissure.

Did your favorite heroes get smacked with the nerf bat? Or did they luck out as some of the few to get buffed?
