Dota 2 7.06b offers up minor balance changes, nerfs Sven

Hot on the heels of the Dota 2 7.06 patch comes the first minor balance patch, 7.06b, which… well, it offers up minor balance adjustments. I’m not sure what you were expecting.

Current pub-stomper Sven is subject to two of them, with God’s Strength’s bonus strength reduced from 16/28/40 to 12/24/36, and his base attack time increased from 1.7 to 1.8. Which should hopefully make him a bit less stompy. Troll Warlord has also taken a nerf to the face, with his agility gain plunging from 2.75 to 2.5.

On the “buff” side of things we have Broodmother, who now gets more HP regeneration on webs (from 2/4/6/8 to 3/5/7/9), and Monkey King, whose Wukong’s Command now has an attack cooldown of 1.6 instead of 1.7. And that’s it.

So yes, it’s a minor patch, but one that most people would probably agree was needed (just kidding: the Dota 2 community can’t agree on anything).
