Dota 2 Patch 7.32d: Wraith Pact & Marci nerfed and more

Dota 2 Patch 7.32d gets some much-needed fine-tuning from Valve as the fourth tweak of the 7.32 patch sees some crucial changes to heroes, items and gameplay.

Few top heroes were nerfed whereas a particular “broken” item was heavily nuked. 7.32d patch ended Wraith Pact’s dominance since the item will no longer apply damage reduction to all sources. According to the changes, “Ward aura no longer reduces Magical or Pure damage (still affects physical damage from attacks and spells).”

A sad day indeed as magical and pure damage heroes will be exempt from worrying about fighting in the Wraith Pact’s aura. In contrast, physical damage-dealing heroes such as Juggernaut, Wraith King, Alchemist, Spectre and others will have a tough time.

The quirky sidekick Marci has also been nerfed as her abilities have been significantly nerfed which will make it difficult for teams to pick her competitively.

The remaining patch notes for Dota 2 Patch 7.32d can be found below.
