Patch 7.04's AI changes brought a fresh layer of complexity to Dota 2, making the game more engaging and challenging for players. The revamped AI system has had a lasting impact on the game's meta, and its effects can still be seen in modern gameplay.
Dota 2 patch 7.04, also known as "The Climb" patch, was released on June 1, 2017. This patch focused on reworking the game's AI, introducing new hero reworks, and making various balance changes.
The primary focus of patch 7.04 was to revamp the game's AI system, which had become stale and predictable over time. The update brought significant changes to the way AI-controlled units (creeps, neutrals, and towers) behave.
