Sudah cukup lama, Valve tidak melakukan “Penstabilan” kemampuan Hero-Hero DOTA2 yang padahal dulu hampir setiap minggu dilakukan. Namun, pada update ini ternyata Valve melakukan rebalancing pertamanya menjelang Boston Major nanti. Pada update ini, hero-hero yang sedang ramai dimainkan terkena rebalance yang cukup terasa. Berikut list lengkap update DOTA2 6.88f :

Hal ini mungkin akan cukup berdampak pada compatitive scene yang masih bergulir hingga sekarang, terutama perihal meta Centaur yang belakangan ini ramai dikalangan compatitive scene. Masih banyakkah hero yang harus Valve stabilkan sebelum Boston Major ?
