I have said it before. Alliance has not improved much gameplay wise. Their good results are often due to their comfortable drafts, rather than them being better as a whole.

Bulldog so far has shown to be mediocre outside of NP. LD is not good for the draft as it makes their lanes predictable. They HAVE to safelane the LD, and will thus go aggro tri. Unless Alliance can find a way to make offlane LD playable again, there is no need to first ban LD against them.

They're just picking Clockwerk and BM for Bulldog, and he's doing fine... to me it's Loda that is kinda useless lately.

Duck- has hated Bulldog with a passion since the beginning of time it's not surprising seeing him bitch about him. I agree with Zea though that loda has not been looking good. It seems they are trying to make him play more of a space creating role and let pajkatt and bulldog farm. A role loda seem to struggle with.

not very surprising imo
they kick the guy who created space for loda and pajkatt and take in a guy that likes to farm. now they have to put loda in an uncomfortable position because pajkatt und bulldog wont change their playstyle
bulldogs heropool was and still is his weakness

I may dislike Bulldog for returning to the same team he ditched, but it has nothing to do with how I judge Alliance's performance. Anyway my dislike was only recently when he returned to Alliance.

The difference when Alliance has NP and when they don't is very distinct. I have not seen Alliance games where Bulldog has a strong impact with Clock/Bat/Brood/Beast. Doesn't help when they pick his hero so early all the time.

I am sorry, I missed every game from Alliance, but I have seen that most were loses and none was played with NP or LD.

Do you think it has something to do with that or they are just performing bad?

Edit: Also, did LD and NP got banned?

Mostly only NP bans. I think a few LD bans but many games he gets through and remains unpicked

Having two called bans everygame should be a strength for [A], not a weakness, it gives you the opportunity to pick whatever you want for 4 players...

I can't say I'm noticing an improvement with Bulldog instead of Niqua.

It seems like no matter what happens people are always going to blame Loda. Like, consider NiP game 2, Alliance basically stabilised at 19 minutes and could look to lame it out with Naga. Naga did her part of this but the rest of the team fed like crazy. Even with all the vision and map control of Naga they couldn't find a shape to, ideally, just shut down the whole game or at least make NiP extend into gross trades in exchange for getting some action.

When was the last time Alliance had overall better support rotations and movement than their opponent? It literally never happens. Why do they barely ever win a laning phase? The person standing there right clicking money is actually the last person to blame for that and it suddenly like, welp, I guess it's nobody's fault or it's just the way things are.

Literally the same could be said for every team.
