And why is enigma less popular now? Furion/leshrac/enigma used to be the pushing trifecta, now furion/leshrac stay first picked/banned, but enigma's slipping through. | ||

I think because Eni's black hole has a too long cooldown - if it goes wrong once then the team is helpless for 3 minutes, so people prefer heroes with less risk in -CM. | ||

It's always been that way. The only reason anything would have changed is if fights are more frequent than before. And enigma is picked just as much for his hard laning/pushing as anything else. | ||

I don't think enigma or beastmaster have been phased out at all from the metagame, they were never picked/banned every game it just depends on what teams like to play and on what the enemy team picks. For example, PGG loves playing enigma. If you have a WR and enchantress though, you might be less likely to pick enigma because you already have a sidelane solo and a jungler. Last night 2 enigmas were picked by MiTH and EHOME. | ||

Smoke is better if you are on a tri lane against a solo WR/DS/mirana since they have escape skills you stop and your tri lane makes sure you can walk in with cloud. Third skill is better if you are on a dual or tri lane that can't kill or be killed by the opponent until level 3 when you have blink anyhow. Though the fourth skill is one I tend to take. :p  | ||
