You should be allowed to all in. I don't want a riot approved meta.


What do you mean?


I mean that it's a good thing that games can end like this.


I suppose. It just feels like a lead of 5 kills has a 90%~ guarantee of winning the game with the current metagame. It's just a complete snowballing advantage. Don't like the idea of the entire game being decided by one first blood as some people in this thread are putting it.

Very often you see games where one side takes a 9 - 0 lead and the game ends up evening out later. Early game kills dont matter all that much. This game was a draft win
Well it's logical that if a team does well early game then their heroes are more suited to that phase.

Kills matter but you have to look at everything with consideration of the line-ups and what those kills actually represent. If your mid rotates over to another lane and you end up getting 0-3'ed. That's much worse than just losing 3 heroes randomly in lane.

Apparently a team has never come back from a defecit of 10-0 before the 15 minute mark in the history of Dota, and a team has never come back from a 4 tour deficit at the 15 minute mark either. That was some statistic said at either the Summit, ESL One, or Dreamhack.

Meh, that has a lot more to do with the lineups on each side (heavy push vs very little anti push) and VG's decisionmaking rather than the current metagame. Comebacks are well and alive; just not in this particular match.

huh?
Mouz managed both pretty sure this very tournament
10-1 at least
they can kill all towers 7 minutes and be 20-0 and still manage to lose, somehow.

That was probably a short term stat, like on a particular patch. It has certainly happened if we're counting all of Dota.
