Dota 2 a week after 7.20: Dust has settled, meta has not

Players are still figuring out the best ways to play Dota 2 after Patch 7.20, which brings a lot of attention to The Chongqing Major Qualifiers and other competitive online events. The best thing about the recent changes is that we see a broader pool of heroes on rotation and more meaningful decisions about transitions to mid and late game.

While there are a lot of things to figure out, TorteDeLini, one of the biggest heroes of the Dota 2 community, has updated all hero builds to the current patch (7.20c). It’s the second biggest one-time update since he has been creating hero builds. The author also posted a short Q&A where he confirmed that the guides will be updated once he gets enough feedback.

The community has produced great memes in reaction to the biggest changes in the game.

u/Chocothep1e doesn’t value the new Clinkz ulti.

Immediately after Valve dropped the patch users wanted to change the color scheme of items made by the combinations of Sange, Yasha, and Kaya.

This could be the first Artifact item to find its way to Dota 2.

RIP Ring of Aquilla.

Cr1t nailed the reason behind Arteezy’s complaint.

Drow Ranger aura feels very underwhelming in the new patch. No more quick 20-minute games.
