Only really agree on SF, Tusk, lina and gyro.
Other ones are all fine to me. But those 4 hereos are still ridiculous.

Yes, IMO the start is stronger than season 1's and it could potentially be an even better season if it plays out right. I don't think there are any Billy Bob Thornton tier actors but so far the acting is really good.

 

[t0rment]

lesh was never really that popular in pubs, and he was banned almost every game in comp, so we didnt saw him there that much either.

i think every ranked i played in 684 had a lesh and/or bloodseeker and/or storm. In that order of popularity

 

[kionedrik]

lesh was never really that popular in pubs, and he was banned almost every game in comp, so we didnt saw him there that much either.

There was a reason he was banned in almost every competitive match, he was nigh unstoppable.

In pubs I saw him picked in at least 90% of the games I played. I believe people even started being ashamed of picking him at some point.

 

[t0rment]

i'm not saying he was balanced, but i dont think he was ever in the 20 most popular heroes being picked, i remember checking dotabuff almost every week.

 

[shira]

A
VP, CDEC, VG, Liquid, Mineski

B
Secret, LGD, Fnatic, Ehome, DC(Ush stand-in Yawar)

Secret vs LGD
VP vs CDEC

Same as MLG, 2 games simultaneously

 

[KingKong]

Secret getting the ez group again, that Turkish billionaire money is paying off

 

[Drkirby]

Imba Spirit. Imba Doom. Maybe even imba Riki. I hope to see all these heroes played more in pro games, especially with various builds.

Ember and Doom have been very popular picks in pro games. Expect to see people bitch about them being picked/banned every game in the Major.

Riki is still not popular.

Also, really bummed C9 won't be at Nanyang. Surprised 1437 screwed up getting a Visa. Oh well.

My biggest complaint so far is that Dunst's casting might be wasted on her role, but it's promising so far, casting her as the Martin Freeman "I'm nice" character.

lesh not popular in pubs?

LMAO

alright

What do you define as popular? He wasn't even in the top 20 on the two iterations of 6.84, and right now he is in an even worse position, just a case of people over exaggerating things for a hero they find annoying, just like with techies.

In fact, according to DB in the past twelve months he is below the top 50 picks, so yeah I will go out on a limb on this one and say he isn't popular at all.

Dunst is the only actress I'm not sold on but she's doing fine so far, interested to see how her character develops.

ugh, preach sister

people get so carried away with the supposedly OP fotm meta stompers, the complaints happen, and now we won't see lesh for another 8 billion years after only getting to see him in like 5 pro games ((((

buff visage and lesh, buff encan'tress more, re-buff Chendaddy, buff Elder Titan, make venomous gale and frozen sigil and life drain minibash, support a fun game

[Haly]

Lesh was worse the higher MMR you went. I think overall his pick rate was not that good which is bizarre because he was literally free wins for pressing Q.

techies was more popular than lesh, i remember seeing him at 16th most picked hero at one point. but the lesh wr was pretty good at ~56%

It largely depends on what bracket you play in. You and I have met each other a few times in unranked and I didn't see lesh all that often either. But I assume the higher you get the more fotm spammers you see. The only fotm heros I saw that much was gyro and bs and even then I still saw him as much as I saw heros like PA or riki.

 

[SecretMoblin]

That's why sniper meta was actually annoying rather than the fake annoyances over TB or alch or radiance/octarine naga or w/e; his pickrate was so damn high already

buff micro heroes

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

This is accurate, he was insta first pick in high level pubs along with Bounty Hunter and Lina.

 

[Haly]

4k was one of 3 heroes mid:

Lina
Lesh
Storm

Gyro was in the safelane somewhere and BH/Tusk in the offlane.

I mean it wasn't that bad but really repetitive.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Back then he was as popular as Bananamancer, so yeah I don't think he was that popular at all.

But I assume the higher you get the more fotm spammers you see. The only fotm heros I saw that much was gyro and bs and even then I still saw him as much as I saw heros like PA or riki.

I guess the skill level is also a factor, but for heroes as straightforward as lesh I kind of doubt it.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Lesh was worse the higher MMR you went. I think overall his pick rate was not that good which is bizarre because he was literally free wins for pressing Q.

He was over 50% game presence above 5k i can confirm. About the same as storm i think, or mb not i should go check some old games.

Gondar was also a fucking permapick. Gyro and Tusk far less even if they were all the rage in comp.

 

[inkls]

I really don't understand why some high mmr player's form of trashtalk when they stack with their low mmr friends when you beat them is to say "you think you're good? 2k shitters"


Yeah, 2k shitters that still beat you rofl

There is direct colleration between mmr and NaCl levels in DOTA2 players.

VP, CDEC, VG, Liquid, Mineski

B
Secret, LGD, Fnatic, Ehome, DC(Ush stand-in Yawar)

finally, some VG LAN action!

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

Dotabuff pickrate and winrate have almost null information value since you're putting in the same bucket people that are literally only just starting the game and godlike players. You can look at it and spot trends but that's about it.

Purchase Fallout 4 on Steam and get the exclusive Fallout 4 Announcer Pack for Dota 2, starring Mister Handy.*

The Dota 2 Fallout 4 Announcer Pack will replace the Default announcer and Mega-Kills announcer with the voice of everyone’s favorite robotic butler, Mister Handy.

The Fallout 4 Announcer Pack is expected to be available in Dota 2 by mid-November.

Well looks like I need to finally pull the trigger.

The majority of players are neither, though. There was just recently a discussion about pubstompers' winrates at higher MMRs (Omniknight, Abba, etc.) and it's still high in those brackets. For a healthy majority of players, Lesh was not an every game thing, not to the same degree that PA post-arcana or Sniper were. That's what the pickrate stats suggest. The fotm thing just amplifies the illusion that everyone was seeing him more than they actually were.

Yep, that shit is hilarious.

My favorite is any game you are losing and a teammate says "This really is the worst bracket." Someone else or myself usually says "But you're down here too" and then they say their account is 5k or 6k. Uh huh, I'm suuuuure it is.

Well looks like I need to finally pull the trigger.

I preordered last week. This sounds cool.
