Dota 2 Patch 7.33e official notes: Morphling, Medusa, Broodmother, and more nerfed

Dota 2 recently received Patch 7.33e. In the latest update, Valve tweaked and nerfed several heroes that were hotly contested and dominated the proceedings at the recently concluded Bali Major 2023. This includes the likes of Medusa, Pugna, Broodmother, and Morphling. They all had a significant impact in several matches in the third Major of this year's Dota 2 Pro Circuit (DPC) season.

Broodmother's Insatiable Hunger (mana cost and cooldown increased) and Silken Bola (slow decreased) were nerfed in the latest patch. One of the more significant changes was meted out to Morphling, with the hero's Aghanim's Scepter Target Stats Steal and Additional Stats Steal slashed by a large margin.

Patch 7.33e also removed the much beloved Grab Ally ability of Undying's Tombstone once the hero gets Aghanim's Shard. The latest update arrives less than a week before the Dota 2 Riyadh Masters 2023. Without further ado, here are the official patch notes.
