Frostivus 2023
One of the all-time favorite Dota 2 events is back, and this time, it has much to offer. Dota 2 Frostivus 2023 brings tons of new sets and items to the table, as well as cool effects. On top of that, it will give everyone a present based on that person’s behavior score. In fact, there was a really funny moment when Mason got banned on stream after he opened the chest. It seems like Valve is monitoring those who are smurfing and/or doing other violations, so be careful.
In terms of cosmetic items, you can find special things for Wraith King, Alchemist, Primal Beast, and more. What’s new for Frostivus 2023 is that players can use some of the festive items an unlimited number of times. Moreover, once you start winning games, you can get your Frostivus Spirit Meter up and earn special chests.

Dota 2 Patch 7.35 Patch Notes
It’s finally time to address the elephant in the room – Dota 2 Patch 7.35! There are so many new things we can talk about, so we will most likely create a separate article for some of the changes.
Besides general updates, there are also a lot of new items, item reworks, and item removals. Of course, the newest patch, 7.35 in Dota 2, also brings a lot of buffs and nerfs to the table, so we’d like to start from there.
Hero Changes
Pretty much every Dota 2 hero received some kind of change in the 7.35 patch. However, some got more buffs and nerfs than others, so we’ve decided to share some information about them.
- Abaddon
Following the changes, the hero’s base armor is up by 1. Curse of Avernus now deals 60 DMG/sec to the target when it proceeds for the duration of the curse, and it deals 70% less damage to towers. The hero also got small talent changes.
- Axe
Axe’s base armor is up by 1 in the Dota 2 Patch 7.35. Berserker’s Call now gives 16/19/22/25 instead of 25 armor, whereas Culling Blade gives +30 armor instead of +40 AS on kill (on level 3). Furthermore, Axe’s level 10 talent now gives +4s Culling Blade Speed Duration instead of +10 Berserker’s Call Armor.
- Batrider
The 7.35 patch in Dota 2 increases Batrider’s Flamebreak movement slow from 10/15/20/25% to 15/20/25/30%, and the projectile speed is up to 1400 from 1200.
Firefly has a bit less cooldown than before, and Flaming Lasso has an AoE indicator when there is a second target with an Aghanim’s Scepter.
- Chen
Despite not being the most popular pun Dota 2 hero, Chen got a lot of new things. Penitence now applies an attack range bonus to all ranged units under Chen’s control. Holy Persuasion no longer teleports units to Chen, and Hand of God’s initial healing is down by 50 on all levels.
An interesting change to the hero is related to Divine Favor. The ability is completely reworked. Now, it provides a passive aura that gives up to 4 HP/sec to all units within the 1200 range. Also, the ability can be used on an ally within range, and the latte will get up to 24 armor and increase the healing it takes by 20% for 6s.
If Chen casts this ability on himself, all units under his control will appear to him after 6s, but the teleport effect will be canceled if the units are damaged.
Final Thoughts
