It doesn't matter if perfect balance is never achieved (perfect balance is only possible if all heroes are the same in every sense). Hero cycles shouldn't be taken as some sort of teleological imperative.

It actually is due to the nature of how people view the game and how drafting works.

Suppose you theoretically had a perfectly balanced version, or at least close enough to it that comfort with with particular heroes and strength of a draft outweighs the individual strength of the heroes it's comprised of. In this case, the drafts played by the strongest teams will be dictated by their level of comfort with particular heroes or playstyles, rather than by what playstyles the strongest heroes fit into.

Now here's the thing, because a "perfectly balanced" version is not generally distinguishable from one that isn't by most people, the best team winning with a style they're comfortable with and the best team winning with a style that is actually the best for that version are not that readily distinguishable. The way the best teams draft would influence the way most lesser team drafts in the same manner that it does when the best teams are "abusing" the strongest heroes in a given version. As such, this slants the way people draft towards those playstyles, which in turn causes the way people play the game to shift toward/against those playstyles the exact same way they do in a version that is not "perfectly balanced".

Holy Batman Era and N0tail going for Dendi in this game for like the 6th time this game and Dendi's Refraction is ready to use every single time inmidst of the combo, while he had some defensive charges beforehand anyway. Talk about timing.
Living Armor obviously only makes things harder. Kinda funny, how it even blocks enough to make certain autoattacks not even trigger coldsnap.

aghs + drums + 2 would be more appropriate since at that stage tiny could 1v5 if na'vi misspositions.

but yeah sort off :D

And what the hell was that fight ? that was so confusing

I know this is not over yet but i think na'vi is dead. This game is different from the c9 game.

Much different since in this game not only does tiny has attack speed, but Navi does not have fat invoker to win teamfights for them.
