Only a day has passed since the addition of Kez to Dota 2, and the hero has already received some significant buffs that are certain to help boost his win rate in the current meta.
For the uninitiated, Kez is the newest addition to the ever-expanding roster of Dota 2 heroes and was introduced to the MOBA with the highly anticipated Crownfall Act 4 update.
Despite the hero possessing a strong kit filled with interesting abilities alongside two deadly ultimates, he seemed rather underwhelming and suffered from awful win rates across all skill brackets.
As a result, Valve has deployed a patch that aims to buff certain aspects of the new Dota 2 hero to make him a viable pick in the ongoing meta.

Here are the detailed patch notes for the November 8th Dota 2 update, as confirmed by Valve:
