VP simply got outdrafted.

But at least good news is, Leshrac might not get nerfed.

I'm a dirty pony picker. Hero is too versatile and good in pubs as well.

Can play as mid, safe, or support and still own. Might even work in dual offlane lanes.


I think zero chance Lesh doesn't get nerfed. Pros have a direct line to the Frog and I am pretty sure it's unanimous that the hero is too good.

We'll see if Aui has any influence on techies.

thats what they said happened this year

then west got facerolled by chinese at TI

again.

Na actually improved, EU is the one stuck in the mud. I would say CIS improved also.

also unlike last year where everybody could see the chinese dominated TI incoming .. this year isn't like that cause the few tournaments before TI was mostly western won

I thought it was because it's an odd numbered year.

wel that works too outside the chinese owning most of the year

this is supposed to be the year of the west now it's all on EG's hands

chinese teams have not been winning tournaments with non-chinese tournaments in 6.84


Cause Secret won everything...

Secret went for the IG route last year.

Look dominant before TI then get figured and place 7-8th at TI

octarine's such a minor detail for lesh being as strong as he is

Can someone explain to an outsider what makes less so powerful this patch? I haven't watched much since the last ti, so I'm not very aware of the current meta and the strongest heros

Most recent patch introduced an item called Octarine Core that allows casters like Leshrac to scale better lategame.
Leshrac in particular can become nigh-immortal with Octarine thanks to his mass AoE damage.
On top of that, all the buffs to Lightning Storm over the past several patches have made Leshrac's laning phase and farming ability extremely strong.

i honestly think the bloodstone buffs are more consequential than the addition of octarine


i will spend that 4k gold on hex any other day than that octarino core

that said, western teams have some strong resistance to buy hex since 2011

i think octarine has a place but it's really not that great of a core item
imo it comes after bloodstone, bkb, and either hex or shivas

Icefrog also nerf cancer heros that are unfun even when they are balanced in competitive dota. (SB in 1 of the patch)

there's no hero in dota right now that can play so well as 3 roles.

Leshrac as safelane, mid, or support is all good.

Please don't nerf.
