And thus were the demons of grammar and argument slain, and the reign of shitposting returned to the land.

Because student loans are guaranteed, colleges are incentivized to push as many loans as they can, regardless of the student's ability to pay back what they borrow.

It's not just a structural shift; it's an actual contraction in the number of graduate seats available, which is more-or-less unprecedented in modern education. If you're interested (and there's no reason you should be) I recommend reading The New School by Glenn Reynolds.

You need to read less reddit and look up numbers yourself.

I thought people stopped bitching about Lifestealer when his Open Wounds range got lowered from 600.

Weaver was honestly fine, though. I mean, yes he was very strong, but at least he was kind of interesting.


people bitch about whatever heroes are at the top of the meta at any given time (alchemist, weaver, LS, mirana, naga, lycan, centaur, invoker just in the past year)

Alchemist was only a little too strong. He was mostly just hilarious. It was great getting to watch the raid boss in action every game.

Naga was great for the meta as support, terrible as core. Thank goodness she's only rarely a thing.

Lycan is only an issue because Dire Lycan is way better than Radiant Lycan. Overpowered Wisp wasn't really an issue even up to the point of the TI3 finals.

Cent was amazing for the meta, but I think the nerf was appropriate, even so. He's just about perfect right now.

Invoker was only a pain with that dumb QW build. Much better now that it's back to QE.

You know who was a major fucking issue, even though he got hard countered by Razor? OD. That was a horrible thing for the meta, and thank goodness he's gone. At least we have some active mid heroes now.

Tree was also problematic when Living Armor was the best spell in the game. I think his Super Seed incarnation was mostly fine, though.

#critterpinions


i mean the mids we have right now aren't that much better than OD- razor, viper, DP all are fairly passive mids

Off-topic, but I like to think this movie is the biggest Reddit circlejerk movie in the history of time: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1912398/

Rotten Tomatoes rates it 5 out of 5 patronizing

We have Brew. I count that for something. The hero is so good right now that he's able to swim against the tide of the meta.

I remember thinking for a while that it would be cool to have a DotA Allstars hero with the Mortar Team model that was based around building stuff and repairing stuff around the map. You know, real zone control. Then I realized how dumb that would be.

Not rly, deathball just feeds on extra tower gold, he can't really do anything, while this hero can also place his tower upon the enemy towers' ruins.
So this is actually an orgasmic hero for deathball strats.
He's not a counter, he's a plus.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.
