I wouldn't be surprised if the patch comes out next week after reborn launches (this week) just to give Valve some breathing room. Also, the ramped up arc warden additions (and datamined arc warden nerfs) bode well for a patch very soon imo. pLS tho sooner rather than later, this pub metagame of 8-12 heroes is fucking awful--it's honestly worse than the usual deadzone of most patches. STALE META.

I used to have 8am classes three days in a row and lived in another city from my school. Only time I was able to get a ride was at 5:30 and some nights I would just hit up campus security and let them know I was staying over night. I don't miss that life.

Remember back when we were like, "da most balanced, best patch evar?"

3 months later: "fuck this shit."

It's true, tho. I've never been as tired of seeing the same 15 or so try-hard heroes as I am right now. And it's not that you can't pick a whole bunch of different heroes; it's that most represent a suboptimal comp. The common hero pool is reminding me of League. That's not a compliment.

I do think that for the longest time this patch was better than 6.83, and the games themselves are still more fun. It's just that somewhere before/during TI teams figured it all out and pubs just copy that shit as always. Now it's:

Bounty Hunter
Earth Shaker
Phantom Lancer
Lina
Gyrocopter
Clockwerk
Leshrac
QoP
Shadow Fiend
Storm Spirit
Anti-Mage
Bloodseeker
Dark Seer
Techies
Rubick
Witch Doctor
Tusk
+ some slightly less popular heroes like TA, WR, Ember, Undying.

Maybe that looks like a lot of variety, but in a game in which you need 10 different heroes each game, it's really not.

I thought they would wait a little bit longer to rollout Reborn because I have to imagine it is going to still be a little buggy. Maybe this is the way that they can guarantee they get everything worked out before the first major.

?? I mean everyone complains about the pub meta after a few months. "It's more stale than any other meta" yeah because playing against Tinker or Lycan jungle or Sniper every game was so much more fun. Not.

Nothing wrong with being tired of this meta but don't plug your posts full of hyperbole that I see literally every patch cycle. Also no one is stopping you from picking non-meta heroes. Yeah it's a disadvantage, but it's really fun making unpopular heroes work and succeed.

I disagree, this is the best "Deadzone" of any patch for the last two years. The OP and FOTM heroes are far more tame, easier to play around, itemize against, and are more fun to play against then the ones at the end of most patches.
