The September 2 update patch notes have been released for Dota 2, and this version has some notable changes. The latest release is an extensive one as Patch 7.34b and brings fixes for many bothersome issues. These include fixing a bug that would appear to allow you to commend/dislike the same player multiple times in postgame, and much more. Let’s examine the Dota 2 September 2 update patch notes.
