Also SF is been winning quite a few games now , the hero is really back to top tier mid and we never run it while MB + NiP favor it greatly .... maybe S4 will run it if no QoP

For Alliance, I always said that the problem isn't on Loda being bad. It is about them not having any playmakers. Loda + Akke + Bulldog (except on NP) are not good at making plays. Pajkatt then absorbed all the farm but doesn't do anything with it. 7ckngmad can't make all the plays in his position (although he feeds a lot while doing so). It's no wonder that 2014/15 Alliance were always behind in game.

With s4 though, they have a player that does well in his lane, and can translate that farm into plays. Mynuts is still not a good fit because his playstyle is reactive. Bulldog is benefiting from Brood being relevant, a hero that by concept is a natural space creator. So now Loda finally has space to carry, with good backup support from his mid and offlane.


I read the problem as most teams having a farming mid and a play-making off lane. Alliance had the opposite and kept losing. This seems to work a bit better in this patch than in previous. I still think they can't win a tournament as long as they keep doing farming off laners instead of farming mids. They can place decently though. (Hope I am wrong and they do win.)

If S4 gets good enough on WR/Invoker it might be a good compromise on play styles. Mids that can physical DPS and be a play maker.

SF is such a standard Mid , im not sure why S4 isnt doing better with that hero..... he is currently the best farming mid out there (SF) and has a really good early/mid/late game impact

What were they thinking with this draft. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in S4s head to make him have these brainfarts.
