Dota 2 7.33 patch notes have been released by Valve, but they come with a unique twist that makes reading them entertaining
Valve hasn’t just put out a list of the changes that will be made in the next update. Instead, they have hidden each change behind a question.
Valve wrote in a post called “Riddles in the Dark”: “As a lot of you know, there’s a big update coming. As we’ve been going through the patch notes for it, we figured it might be fun to tease some of them ahead of time, without spoiling the surprise. We’ve assembled a handful of genuine notes for the upcoming patch, provided without context, to whet your appetite while we put the finishing touches on the update.”

The post went on to give a few examples of the riddles, such as “[UNIT] is now controllable by the player that dug it up” and “[HERO]: Always has 0 Intelligence. Always.”
Confirmed release date and changes for Dota 2 Patch 7.33
One thing we know for sure is that the next patch, probably version 7.33, will come out on April 20. Valve said in a post that the next big Dota Update will come out on a date that rhymes with “Smaypril Twemmieth” and is between April 19 and April 21.
Even though there are puzzles, a few changes have been proven. For example, a hero’s intelligence will always be 0, a new item’s starting stock and maximum stock will both be 4, and a unit type will gain 15 movement speed at night.
Dota 2 community excited as patch notes teases fans with riddles and clues
The decision by Valve to share the patch notes in this way has made the Dota 2 community very excited. Fans are trying hard to figure out what the riddles mean and what other changes will be made in the update. Some players think the puzzles might hint at new heroes or items, while others just like the task of trying to figure them out.
Valve will probably add more information to the post as more questions are solved and changes are announced. Fans will have to keep guessing and trying to figure out the clues for now.
