Loda as a whole is of unmeasurable worth to [A]. | ||

loda: 'i can play whatever bro'. Funny to remember the series they played DK, Game1 loda played AM but burning played alche, and then Game2 loda said ill give you AM and I can show you how to play Alche and then he gets owned. | ||

Not at all. Nowadays most carries are given a free farm lane, at 10 minutes burning will have 3 last hits more than Loda or another, carries are no longer the players who make the difference in any team (except perhaps xbox). burning changing role to 3 is very telling. When DK was slumping, Burning could not carry them despite not slumping himself. I mean, some carries are still better than other, but let's say a team has a performance rating of 90/100. Changing from random_carry_12 (random carry being any TI3 carry, I'd even say any professional carry) to Burning will put them to 93 or something. While changing their support player from Chuan to random_support_22 will make them go from 90 to 75. Not sure it explains things right but anyway... | ||

Burning ended with a Higher GPM and XPM in every one of those games too if i Remember correctly. | ||

I know, I nearly removed that sentence because I knew someone would answer this, it wasn't a good example. But actually "it isn't 2007 anymore" is right to my point. In 2007 building a team around a top carry made sense, now the game changed a lot and put more emphasis on the other positions imo. [A] losing anyone would be a catastrophe, A losing Loda would be inconvenient. (not the best example as Loda is also a big asset to A) The times where your carry loses his relic and has the time to farm another and go win the game are long gone. | ||

One of the most consistently impressive things from TI3 was the way Loda would involve himself midgame in order to help his team out (no matter what carry he was actually on), without sacrificing his farm TOO badly. Sure, having Bulldog/S4 helps take the midgame pressure off, but the way he interacts and is able to play WITH the team instead of AROUND the team is truly impressive. | ||

And as strange as it sounds, he also make space for his supports to farm in the midgame while usually it's the reverse. | ||

I'd say they're all pretty good players. Look, a team is only as good as their weakest player. I really don't have anything bad to say about their roster. | ||
