Smoke getting added to the game killed Shadowfiend in competitive play. His early game is already shaky, and Smoke lets supports abuse the fact that he's one of the most gankable solo mids in the game--and if SF gets ganked once or twice, he can get completely shut out of the game. | ||

So we don't always see 100% the same heroes. There are like 100 heroes (don't know exactly... don#t have fcking key yet) to chose from and every game veno, the anker guy, chen, furion, mirana | ||

Batrider and Lycanthrope are far and away the most banned heroes in Chinese competitive DotA 1. On March 12 2012 03:33 konadora wrote: why not as a side lane hero with a support then? sf shines early on because of his nuke, not his damage no? Because he needs levels way too badly. If he takes twice as long to reach level 5/7, that's twice as long where he has absolutely no influence on the game. | ||

On napalm from playdota. He wasn't played so far coz he was bugged/not properly ported to dota2, and he got fixed but people need to train him a bit before they play him. | ||
