Som alltid finner vi att Dota 2-teamet på Valve finner saker att ta itu med rent balansmässigt i spelet, och nu efter att en av de större turneringarna för i år i The Summit 3 har passerat verkar det som att tiden var rätt för en rad förändringar.

6.84c är en förhållandevis liten patch, och fokuserar främst på push-strategier, och hjältarna som ackompanjerar dem bäst.
