Just a week after the much-anticipated release of Patch 7.35, Valve surprised us with Patch 7.35b. This new patch is packed with significant changes aimed at balancing the game's most powerful heroes and items. The most eye-catching nerfs hit heroes like Leshrac, Outworld Devourer, and Abaddon. These characters had been dominating the win-rate charts but their reign was short-lived, lasting only a week. The nerfs are not just limited to heroes; key items like Solar Crest, Bloodstone, and Eternal Shroud have also been drastically nerfed, affecting the dominance of Leshrac in particular. Let's dive into the full list of changes brought by Patch 7.35b and see how they're shaking up the game.
