He's also versatile enough to see play as both support and farmer in competitive. It's pretty awesome. He's like the first hero I ever played in an actual game, and then everybody said he was shit, and now he's back. Definitely one of my favorites.

The king is dead. Long live the king.

Tidehunter seeing play is almost just as awesome…. With this patch, and ranked mmr being a thing now, it's like pub dota has become pro dota and pro dota has become pub dota.

Seeing the pro's play Tide the way they do (especially that one MVP phoenix game where the player had like 300+ CS and built this unkillable tank) makes me almost want to play tide again...almost...

empire did well but mag getting fucked the whole game and silent getting s&y kinda screwed their teamfight

Also Resolution being 0-4-0 for 90% of the game didn't help either lol

I honestly don't think they did well. Considering the draft, they should've been more dominant early game.

PA YES

edit: Why didn't C9 pick Bane over PA first though? Bane was clearly about to get banned in the second banning stage whereas PA, they could've last picked that easily.

edit 2: Because Mirana is gonna be mid and not in the safe lane. Don't mind me.

What does "success" mean?
Click to expand...

Seems like it's some kind of arbitrary number based on the amount of games you've played on a hero and your winrate in those games. I don't think it's a stat worth taking seriously, especially since apparently nobody knows how it's calculated.

Offlane boots first Invoker eh?

Last time I saw bone7 playing Invoker it did not end well for C9.

Edit: Game is C9 x Empire for ESL One qualifiers, it's free on Dota TV(iirc) or you can watch it here: http://www.twitch.tv/joindotared

Edit: Welp, turns out it worked out pretty well this time. I should've learned not to doubt bone7.

Almost? What's wrong with Tide? He's extremely fun.
Click to expand...

I don't find him fun in general, personal preference. Could be that he was one of my core heroes when I first learned the game (tide and lich). I dislike both heroes.

Yeah offlane...it was MVP vs Arrow I believe. He went Heart/Refresher/BOTS/Shiva/BKB. MVP guy was just pretty much unkillable even though Arrow eventually won. Against Mith.Trust, that tide was a damage sponge to better effect.

Invoker pick looking pretty useless so far. I understand it was a deny pick so Resolution doesn't get his hands on it but it's really unfortunate so far.

Anti-Mage is one of the best carries and can easily win games provided they go on long enough. My personal performance on these heroes doesn't make my opinions (and fact) any less valid btw. How many specters are you seeing being picked up in competitive or international qualifiers right now? I'll give you a hint

I also like how that picture is filtered on "All Pick" to make me seem like garbage. Nice try kid - better luck next time.

Wraith King is one of those heroes that makes me impressed by IceFrog's ability to balance. With only minor tweaks here and there over the years he's managed to turn one of the most boring and least picked heroes into a staple of the meta without being over powered or unfair, all while keeping all of his skills exactly the same.
Click to expand...

I'd call them anything but minor... he's gotten major buffs over the last few patches--most notably 30% free lifesteal working on ranged and his ulti slowing attack speed, moving up to 75%, and bumped up in duration/AoE range are all pretty damn huge. Not to mention 5 base int.

I agree with your sentiment though, most people claimed wraith king couldn't be viable conceptually. However dota's always just a math game, tweak those numbers enough and things will change.

after a great start with wraithnight and new bloom.
Click to expand...
New bloom feel like it was done to show us how they can go from one extreme ( let us know about the event month in advance, huge content ), to the other extreme ( 2 weeks from a new low ).

But at least it make you confident ( or not, it's Valve ) that source 2/L4D3 must be coming along nicely.

Spectre got picked 27 times in 6.81 as opposed to Anti-Mages 18. Both have supbar winrates but that's to be expected in an early-mid game oriented meta.

Nice facts though
