DK stun does not need Song setup though. Also, Naga pick looks wasted tbh. Ok, now it's trickier, PL+Storm duo core.

Naga is never wasted. It's especially useful vs. Tuskar.

I disagree. This meta RULES.

• The popular mid heroes are all frenetic playmaking cores: Storm, QoP, SF, Lina, etc. None of this boring Naga mid crap.
  
• Resident sleeper farming carries that want to delay the game (e.g., Spectre) are mostly unpopular. Carry Naga is an occasional exception, but she's played as support at least as often.
  
• The comeback mechanic has been nerfed enough that highground-turtling is no longer a dominant strategy.
  
• TI4-style deathball has been figured out, so "group up and push at 30 minutes" doesn't win games either.
  
• TUSK + TECHIES is a thing.

I understand that any meta gets stale eventually, and we're all tired of Gyro and Lesh, but seriously, what more could a meta do for you?

I would take 6.83 meta any day over Naga, Tusk, WW, Dazzle making sure crisp initiation has to be on them or it's wasted.
