You won't die, so you can grab last hits, but against a good mid hero he should also have free farm even if he is unable to bully you out. Since your trent is on an offensive trilane, he also won't be able to armor you so often, it's the only thing he brings to that lane. Leech seeds range being terrible is a pretty big deal, you won't be able to use it as a set up unless the enemy get's horribly out of position. in the woods, dire supports are almost always either ceding control of the camps or out of position vs a tri lane. leech seed range isn't much of a downside in that circumstance consider a treant standing in any of the juke spots in the forest south of the t1. or standing near the sentry spot down of the medium camp when there is a lane ward, what are you going to do as a dire support to avoid that if radiant wants to control it. omni doesn't have much control over the top rune, but the QOP safe can control the bottom rune exceptionally well. and the supports can occasionally flex toward top rune to help there as well without sacrificing much of anything. also this kind of assumes a defensive tri lane from dire. if dire is running an offensive tri lane, qop can 1v1 the safe laner pretty well from radiant. | ||

Apparently MLG has plans for Dota 2 after Anaheim and will announce by then or E3. What's the next stop after Anaheim? | ||

I actually know nothing about those drama but i assume they will keep LoL due to the number helps out a lot in selling brand to potential sponsors. Plus its NA event so you can always have local teams show up etc...

More likely they will be moving a large portion of the competition online and may be just host the grand final etc to save venue space. In the end they did invest a lot into the current WCS studio. But yeah, i dont work for MLG so its all speculation.  | ||

Well The reason for the "drama" is mostly because LoL gives no benefit to teams participating in an MLG. it gives them no benefit toward the big Riot league LCS, where all the money and salary is. So no LCS team is going to bother to participate when they need to be playing in/practicing for the league that pays them. and the non LCS teams don't get any recognition for MLG wins because no one showed up. Pretty much its just there for teams who feel like playing and live within a days drive. Which makes the games glorified pubs. and saying "we have the lowest viewer count of any LoL tournament" isn't good for sponsers. TL;DR Riot is killing Esports. xD | ||
