I remember arc warden release, i booted up dota1 and played a game and my reaction was "Is this a joke?"

Regardless of what exactly is the most broken, it kind of goes a long way to illustrate my point about power creep and things being ridiculous even for dota style balancing.

arc warden's stats are fucking trash though

honestly i wonder if you should just play him as a support but just build midas every game

Except it doesn't because the game has been designed/balanced this way for years and if power creep were as big a deal as you're saying, the game would have imploded long ago from this supposed upward spiral of broken shit.

That's pretty much how he's played in DotA 1.

What about the semi-recent heroes that were released and weren't over-the-top or too strong?
Not all new heroes have been over-the-top stupid broken.

Yes, clearly it's an fair comparison to make between a mod, for which you have to capability to play an older version, and a game that has 9 million unique players every month. I think at some point you should actually test your changes somewhat more thoroughly before they go live.

In addition, over the last few years there where extended periods of time during which the majority of the playerbase, including pros, found the gameplay either stale, or lacking for other reasons. (Think pre Ti4 death balls or I think it was 6.72)

LC, SWM, Timber

Wether some of them might've still needed some small nerfs, none of them were bonkers on release honestly.

winter wyvern isn't particularly broken and she's almost exclusively only been buffed since being created

That's why i said semi-recent, there haven't been that many actually new heroes recently, before WW and Arc warden those 3 and ember were the only other new heroes.

Edit: forgot oracle existed

6.73 - Ember, Timber, SWM, LC
6.75 - WW, Arc warden
6.77 - ES and Oracle

Out of these the only ones i would say were(and might still be) far too strong on release were ember, warden, ES and oracle
rest were pretty alright and it's not like ember was Warden tier.

lol what is this revisionist history about TI4

"Death balls" were not a problem leading up to TI4. Like, leading up to TI4, EG and DK were spearheading relatively slow, farm-oriented playstyles with comparatively farm-focused mid, safe lane, and support play. VG, which was the team that primarily launched the style into prominence was a total mess until a relatively close to the event. Even at The Summit, their play wasn't totally refined enough for a lot of teams to consider the playstyle itself that scary.
