Dota 2’s next patch is coming and players are already bracing for disappointment

When Valve first released the Compendium patch without any events or skins in September, fans were upset. The developer promised a bigger update would come after TI 2023 ended, though, but the most recent patch announcement suggested otherwise.

In an in-game notification, Valve announced the release date of the patch “7.34e,” the next update on the Dota 2 calendar which will release on Nov. 20. Upon seeing the patch’s name, the Dota 2 community expressed mixed feelings since a letter patch indicates minor balance changes.
