The most impactful buff and nerf heroes in Dot A2 patches 7.27b and 7.27c! Valve released a 7.27b update for Dota 2 last week. However, two days later, update 7.27c was also released to fix some of the meta issues introduced in this 7.27 patch.
The meta perks of this patch 7.27 update are for players who are hyper-aggressive and fight early in the game. In addition, the importance of the second tower will suddenly slow down the game and force players to return to farming.
Carry players who can fight early in the game, such as Wraith King, are the protagonists of this update. Other heroes also prefer to build with Radiance items as one of their core items. Patches 7.27b and 7.27c bring big enough changes to change this meta a bit.
The most influential buffs and nerfs for Dota 2 heroes in patches 7.27 b and c are:
Wraith King
This hero’s incredible durability, reliability, and potential for damage make him one of the first picks in most games. That’s why Valve became nervous for this hero.
Wraith King’s base damage has been added by 3 points.
skill Vampire aura Attack damage has been removed and life steal has been increased from 5/10/15/20 to 8/16/24/32%.skill Mortal strike Attack damage increased from 30-35 to 35-40.
With this nerf, Wraith King loses the passive damage from Lifesteel, and the increase in base damage is not enough to cover it. Due to the buff’s Mortal Strike skill, IceFrog may want to change the way players play Wraith King.
According to Dotabuff, the above changes reduce the hero’s win rate by 3%.
Clinks
Clinkz may be the hero most affected by this 7.27 update. This hero became one of the most dominant heroes before Ice Frog was weakened.
Gain intelligence Upgrade from 1.7 to 2.2 and Attack point Increased from 0.7 to 0.4.
skill Burning arrow Damage reduced from 30/40/50/60 to 24/36/48/60 and mana increased to 12.skill Straf Attack speed reduced from 110/140/170/200 to 90/120/150/180.skill Skeleton walk It provides invisibility and 15/30/45/60% movement speed. The skill lasts 25/30/35/40 seconds and has a cooldown of 20/19/18/17 seconds.skill Death covenant Health gain decreased by 60/80/100% to 40/70/100% and damage gain decreased by 6/10/14% to 4/9/14%.
These changes don’t affect Clinkz much, but they make it easier to play. Despite many weakenings, Clinkz is still a powerful hero and currently boasts a 53% win rate.

Rubik
There aren’t many changes to Rubick in this update, but some of the updates provided may change the way heroes play.
Base attack speed increased from 100 to 110, attack damage spread reduced from 47-57 to 49-55.
skill Fade bolt Damage mitigation has been changed from a certain number to 10/18/26/34% base damage. The damage of this skill has been increased from 80/160/240/320 to 100/175/250/325. Mana usage has been reduced from 135/140/145/150 to 120/130/140/150.
Level 10 talent Changed from +50 damage to +50 base damage and level 15 talent -80 Changed from Fade Bolt Hero Attack to Fade Bolt Steals Hero Damage.
When used by the right player, the Rubik’s can be a powerful carry. With these updates and changes, Rubick’s win rate will only increase by 1%.
Underload
Prior to this update, Underlords had a mediocre location in the current meta. This hero is strong only in his right hand, but not in others.
The next buff turns him into the ultimate pick. This brought Underlords back into the limelight, with winning percentages jumping from 51% to 59%.
Attack range increased from 150 to 175.
skill Aura atrophy The radius has been reduced from 1200 to 900 and the damage duration has been increased from 30/40/50/60 to 30/45/60/75.skill Malicious hole The cooldown has been reduced from 22/20/18/16 to 18/17/16/15 and the cast range has been reduced from 750 to 675.skill Firestorm Cast points decreased from 0.6 to 0.5, cast range decreased from 750 to 675, and AoE increased from 400 to 400/430/460/490.
His overall strength is reduced, but the underload can still be even more tanky.
Blood Seeker
One of the many modified heroes is Bloodseeker. At first, I wanted this hero to be very popular and powerful again. But this turned out not to be true. On the other hand, the winning percentage of this hero has dropped significantly. That’s why Valve decided to offer this hero some buffs.
Gain intelligence From 18 + 1.7 to 21 + 2.0.
skill Blood Rage Self-damage has been reduced from 3% to 2.8%, mana has been reduced from 40 to 25, attack speed has been reduced to +140, and spell amplification has been reduced to 24%.skill thirst Creep recovery increased from 15% to 20%, skill Blood ritual Now deals more than 25 damage. Finally, level 15 talent heroes now offer + 15% life steal instead of +225 health. Level 20 talents give +400 HP instead of 20% Lifesteal.
