I don't watch pro games, but is Dazzle picked often? I never see him picked in TLIH (which is just an attempt to copy pro picks I assume?) so I was just curious. If he isn't picked often, why not?
This.I love playing with Dazzle and find it an awesome hero.Yet i never see him get picked in pro-games.

Two things (there are probably others, but these are the ones that IMO stand out most):
1) As a support, Dazzle is fairly level-dependent. All 3 of his primary skills are somewhat lackluster on the early ranks. Most other supports generally possess skills that have much more of their strength centered around the lower ranks of the skills. If Dazzle gets fed (can pull creeps smoothly early game, gets early assist gold/XP), he will be a force in midgame teamfights, but if he gets underleveled, his skills tend to be quite underwhelming on lower ranks.
2) Dazzle is not strong in the two areas that are probably most reliable and versatile for a support: hard disables, and AoE. Virtually ALL of the common and more reliable support picks (e.g. Maiden, ES) possess both reliable disables and good AoE. While the other utility Dazzle provides can make up for this (Shallow Grave, Weave, etc.), these are ultimately much more situational--which means that while Dazzle can be strong, he's not a reliable, versatile pick--you want to pick him in situations specifically where his situational utility outweighs his lack of disables or AoE.

one more thing, it's implied in the above post, but his teamfight is pretty mediocre for the amount of levels he gets. and shallow grave remains a very situational spell in the very end despite a lot of praise for the skill

Dendi's chats with Darer.G
Dendi: when im playing mm without friends/teammates, im losing 80% of my games.
Dendi: even losing 5v4 games.
Dendi: 5v3 too :D
seems like MM games are shitty on high level as well

Not to blame dendi, but he most certainly doenst care about MM and throws games pretty often.

He played yesterday versus mtw also. He was a Chen and he failed more or less. Also, his name was "FnaticRC. HON TRASH"
I don't like H4nni anymore.
