Valve confirms exactly when we’ll learn more about Dota 2’s next major patch

The last Major Dota 2 patch was update 7.32d. It released all the way back in Nov. 2022, which feels like a lifetime ago. There were a number of winners and losers in that patch, which defined the meta, and because not much has changed since then, the meta heading into the Lima Major is largely the same.

The community was disappointed about it. They hoped the next Dota patch would release before the Major so that it could freshen things up, and since it didn’t happen, they have been fearing the Major won’t be as much of a spectacle as it could be and would be more of the same.
