I'll be interested to see how the new No Tidehunter does. If they do well, maybe a sponsorship would be in order? we can hope. | ||

New team consisting only of Bulgarians which frankly no one had heard of before this. As far as I know they haven't been doing too well at all. That's Darer. | ||

a) Rosh (duh) b) Easier long lane (IMO) due to things like double-camp blocking with 1 ward, and the rune ward that also gives decent safety vision to the lane c) way more pulls in your jungle (easies, mediums AND hards all pullable) d) mid lane is substantially harder to gank without tower diving and/or being seen by the tower. Coming from bottom, ganking dire mid requires a tower dive, while ganking radiant mid does not. Coming from top, both lanes see anybody coming from a mile away anyway. e) the jungle is better for certain heroes who need to bounce from easies to mediums for a while (new lycan, etc). Obviously its worse for heroes that can do mediums really early and want to do both mediums, but even then one is often warded. Only thing I can think of for radiant is: Mid has access to easy jungle creeps for some quick farm between waves, and some jungling is easier for radiant. Maybe also some small benefits to ease of ganking as radiant bot from mid and mid from bot? dunno. | ||

(It could just be that I tend to jungle/pull a lot as Radiant, so I know the patterns of that side of the jungle...I need to load some bot games and get my Dire side knowledge up to that level) | ||

This was before the nerf, too Statistically, he has a ~67% winrate, meaning a ~33% lossrate, which means that there is a 3.5% chance of you losing all 3 games with Centaur on your team. It happens. edit: though I would guess that he has a lower winrate at lower MMR's and a higher winrate at higher MMR's, but who knows. | ||

Remember that the the easy/inner hard camp for Sentinel are pullable to mid lane, and Sentinel can triple pull, while with Scourge it's only really possible to double pull. | ||

Remember that the the easy/inner hard camp for Sentinel are pullable to mid lane, and Sentinel can triple pull, while with Scourge it's only really possible to double pull. Are you talking about stacking, or about pulling, then "continuing" the pull, as it were, re-aggroing your creeps to the next jungle camp? Because if I pull to unstacked dire easies/mediums, then "continue" the pull to the respective nearby hards, then I'm not seeing an issue here  And I'll admit, the mid pull can be a big deal, but you have to be careful with it or your mid hero will end up down a tower while dire mid also gets complete rune control and will be "mia" potentially forcing your other lanes into passivity (less an issue in high-tier games). My other thought is that the dire suicide-laner has an easier time stacking ancients for his carry/himself depending on team composition (although obviously radiant mid has it easier if it is tinker, so dunno). Plus, due to lane lengths, Dark Seer on dire suicide can surge a creep into tower to pull the lane back to his own tower, whereas its much harder (impossible?) to surge the creep from radiant suicide into tower. I play a lot of suicide lane, and I muuuuuuch prefer dire haha. | ||

I too play a lot of suicide and agree Dire is better in most cases but on dark seer as you said, I really like the radiant suicide more. Not only can you keep lane control but when you're really winning the lane the jungle camps are easier to hit up while the lane is pushed at tower. Feels way nicer to be able to farm dire jungle and lane from radiant suicide. I don't have as much success doing things like that as dire suicide dark seer even if i am winning the lane. | ||

To be honest, the ward that dire can place to see bot rune + the jungle beside the lane is the biggest thing for me. Opponents rarely counter it nearly as soon as they should. And of course how easy it is for Beastmaster to farm the ancients lol. Oh yeah, and depending on lane control I kinda feel like bounty has more places to hide and leech XP as dire suicide as well (down in the radiant jungle). Edit: Oh god wall of text. Carriage returns ftw. | ||
