And we could see some nasty combos with her ult and vacuum, seeing how popular darkseer is in Dota 2. Also, KotL should make his way into competitive play, imo. Illuminate can wipe an entire creepwave and he can tp his allies. Both of these "features" seem very powerful in the "pushing all lanes at the same time" metagame right now, I think. I think these 2 should be the biggest ones. | ||

I would expect the heroes added to 6.74 -cm to have more of an effect than Naga/KotL. Well, Rubick for sure. Thrall/Wisp might take some time to catch on as people figure out how to draft them comfortably. | ||

To be expected with 3 new heroes though. - Fixed a case where a courier trying to deliver a Divine Rapier to someone without sufficient item slots could result in the Rapier disappearing. Think someone here on TL ran into that bug, you'll be glad to know they've fixed it :D | ||

MOBA wannabe game ur talking about(HoN) Hahaha thsi is great  On a more postive note, would an MMR system that ranks in groups be a bad idea for valve to implement? I mean if you are rated at a "C" and you play with people also at a "C" there isn't really much elitism, but you know they are not "D" players. And i think KDR, wards placed per game and all that stuff SHOULD NOT be recorded. Honestly all it leads to is bitching. Once hon went F2P i made a smurf account and got to 6kdr by only play plague rider (lich), yet i lost most of my games. KDR Is a joke of a stat that does not really influence winning games. Maybe wins per hero should be included, or maybe wins per hero group? But honestly the really precise stats are not needed. | ||

It technically exists, you can filter you replays as Low, Medium or High skill level. But they are really broad and not very precise. If you are close enough to the top you can also see if your games are on or close to the first page of the watch list. Plus, if you give a rank to a player, labbeling still will exist. There is a point where "high C" and "low B" are muddled together and you give the impression that the diference is pretty big, while it may be inexistent. It's less of an issue than real rankings, but also less of a benefit. | ||

Also heard about Templar Assassin being picked?! I really hope to see some Wisp and Rubick picks, I can see great potential for fun games with them | ||

That said she's not a staple, she's a curveball/surprise-strat/player-speciality kind of pick. http://www.gosugamers.net/dota/replays/34284 http://www.gosugamers.net/dota/replays/36337 There's tons more if you want to go look for them. | ||

SEA teams love Templar Assassin. Mineski, MSIevo, Orange to name a few.

of the new/reworked heroes, i think tb/naga/thrall/wisp have some potential as situational pickups but they haven't seen too much play ta has been a rare pick for a really long time and she hasn't been buffed recently ta reps on bottomright http://dota.sgamer.com/Hero/Templar_Assassin.html | ||
