Archon wouldn't push highground with a rapier Dusa with aegis against a no bb darkseer. How are they going to be better off now?

I think the win condition for both teams at this point is:

1- killing the enemy's cores without losing your own
2- forcing buybacks on all those cores (easy as walking down a lane towards enemy base then leaving)
3- killing those cores again w/ buyback down

The problem is that condition 1 requires no trades in core deaths, which is so fucking unlikely at 111 minutes. If either team has cores w/o buyback, they'll avoid engaging in fights.

With both teams having the same strategy, shit gets weird

Yes but if Archon isn't willing to try and fight in the conditions I mentioned, what are the conditions they are waiting for?
Or are they just waiting for Col to get to their high-ground?

Both teams are waiting for the other team to make a mistake. Can't say I honestly blame them.

At this point, you also have to consider morale. Losing a 2 hour game might just mean auto-lose on game 2 from tilting players.

no thats what happens when you lose like a one hour game

2 hours and theyve already had enough time to go through the 5 stages of grief during the game itself

how do you have a medusa in a 2 hour game and only 1 rapier purchased
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

Not worth baiting the buyback considering how out of position they'd have to get to do that. Nightstalker not that valuable.
