As seasons go, spring doesn’t have much going for it. It’s wet, there’s too many insects, idiots are all over the place skipping through parks and falling in love. Luckily, our global spring nightmare is finally almost over — and that’s because the Summer 2023 Dota Plus update* is here, dropping from the sky like a meteor on the grateful people below. The update includes refreshed seasonal quests and guild rewards, plus an all-new treasure to explore.
Over the last few days we've addressed several gameplay issues:
Watchers are now colored based on whether they are controlled by your team (matching minimap coloration), rather than whether they are controlled by Radiant and Dire.
Auto-selected summoned units no longer close the shop UI.
Wisdom Runes no longer consider players who abandoned when finding a second player to grant XP.
Tormentor no longer considers players who abandoned when finding a player to grant shard.

Patch 7.33c is out now. You can check the notes here.
Additional Notes:
Ranked Matchmaking:
• Raised the minimum MMR to be eligible for Immortal Draft from 5620 to 6500.
• Modified the MMR gained and lost from matches when teams have varying skill to better approximate the expected chance each team has of winning. Games where the teams aren't equal in rating now credit the lower-rated team with a better chance of victory and the results for players...
Sometimes Dota gameplay patches are small. Sometimes they can get pretty big.
This one... is huge.
It’s got all the things you were probably expecting — balance changes, new items, hero reworks, UI improvements. But we also included a few changes you probably weren't expecting, like a new hero attribute type and — brace yourself — the map is now 40% bigger.
