Yea come on Navi... your opponent strat pretty much revolves around avoiding fights until carry gets BKB (or diff on PL). And don't let them get Batrider. | ||

If alliance ganks Top with all, take roshan. If alliance just sends 1-2 top, wisp relocate, kill them and then do roshan. If nobody goes top, take rax ... Just use your options ... Their line up already had fallen apart, I think it was already game there, the aegis gave them a bit of chance. If they didnt go for it Alliance would take it easily. | ||

Like obviously anything can happen and it's a team game but are some people just broken with certain heroes? I still don't get all the intricacies of picking and banning but it seems like the LR thread is either joyous or frustrated severely based on choices being made. Loda has a lot of good heroes but honestly you can't just worry about Loda. It's Bulldog, S4, Akke and EGM. That's really the impossible choice: focus on shitting on Loda who will develop into a monster if you don't or focus on the other 4 who all have the capacity to win alliance the game if left alone. And it's a massive problem that S4 is probably the best drafter in the world right now; he makes you pick what he wants you to pick, not what you want to pick. And then Alliance just waits for you to make a mistake. | ||

That's standard time for your average Lone Druid player when he is contested slightly in the safe lane. Now, fucking realize that Bulldog died, had no bear, and had to leave his offlane, and still somehow managed to get an 18 minute Radience. Sure, he had some help from Akke on KotL, but anyone saying Bulldog did nothing special is nuts. He played it well sure but he lost a lot of bears for seemingly no reason. The main reason he was even able to get that much farm was how well the rest of the team delayed and created the room for him to get it. He was actually a bit sloppy this game compared to his standard, farmed well but seemed to lack some discipline. | ||

And in general relocate ganks are risky and people are scared to relocate ganks as it may be a trap, | ||

You have to ban a ton of shit to disable Alliance, they always win all drafts because of this. Team should focus on improving their execution to reach alliance's level before thinking about keeping them from doing what they do well. | ||

Even if you had 10 bans per team pre-game. Alliance would likely still win against the same teams. | ||
