YET i hate that most of the drafts are MEGA-STATIC and have the same 20 heroes being picked or banned over and over, I know people hated TI4 for its meta, but in terms of heroes, it had more variety, I dont know, just my feeling.
Also, fuck techies
I hear you, I personally liked Void/Skywrath more than Gyro/Dazzle, but that's just me.
Death Prophet and Razor can die in a fire though
High level creativity and high level play comes from Static metas/openings. Better teams can either win 50-50 drafts or they understand something that other teams don't even though they have all looked at the same games for a long time.
Quality games don't come from randomness. There will be pocket strats when people need them.

Lina actually melts if she tries to man up against them.
The reason he was in the side lane is bc his only chance at killing anything past like 30 minutes would be if he caught a support solo.
Navi had a burst mage lineup that didn't snowball as hard as they should have, that's when you have to resort to plan b.
he had plenty of time to farm up aghs/sheep/bloodstone and kind of uhhh... didn't
navi wasn't behind for most of the game, dendi won mid, and he built the hero like an idiot
?
Euls blink is Lina's bread and butter, I'm not sure where you get that from.
I don't think you and I were watching the same game.
It is if you are playing a pub.
Ok yeah you're not watching the same games as the rest of us.
Not that I needed confirmation, but if you look at that several ti games that have a lina, she gets a euls. Blink is of course optional but ideal if you have heroes that can blink on you.
is anybody saying he shouldn't have built the euls? are you even reading these replies or what
he stopped farming and did nothing for 30 minutes instead of using the space that xbox and sonneiko were making to farm a sheep and octarine so he could actually do something

Dazzle in general is not famous for good KDA.
still, this is extreme, actually he wasn't seen once in the game except feeding out of position. Obviously graving himself at the end was the insult on top of injury.
If he didn't grave himself he would have been dead already when the other heroes for there in that fight. VG had to expend some more resources already because of the grave.

Probably not reading.
Dendi even bought BoTs after Blink and had a casual Point Booster. He had Euls SO early too it's amazing he just simply stopped apparently doing anything.
