Except Song + DK stun.

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.

Naga only looks like teamfight reset instead of teamfight setup she usually is now.

holy shit, first game and Tusk, Qop and Naga

Cancer is coming

Yeah, this TI is not going to be fun.

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?


Yeah this meta is the best one by far. Slight nerf to leshrac/gyro and we're golden after TI
