I'm not denying that he's a skillful player, I'm just trying to point out that having an ability to "swap" an enemy hero standing next to the barracks into your fountain is ridiculous. Not even mentioning the other skills that hero has. Would have the same stand if EHOME had played it, for me its just awful to watch games like this. | ||

It has the risk-free catch potential of Meat Hook combined with the raw repositioning power of Flaming Lasso on a 4 position hero that can also use it as a non-sacrificial Nether Swap or just to take a hero out of the fight for a few seconds and oh yeah it cancels blink and deals okay aoe damage and has a lower cooldown than Lasso What the UTTER fuck? | ||

Oracle is also a problem, but those two statements are just plain false, ES is banned very often for one and I think we'll see it banned more in future You could "counter" old Wisp with BKB, but that didn't make the hero any less broken because a) not everyone has BKB and b) you can negate the efforts of an enemy hero even when they're BKB'd up | ||

ES has seen much play this tournament. Cr1t- alone has played it 3-4 times. | ||

And a part of the issue people have with ES relates to the aghs upgrade, which is not countered by magic immunity in any way. | ||

And it is amazing how different they are from the games a couple weeks earlier, or even from the Alliance's victories recently. Did the meta move past that now? Or are many styles viable at the same time? I don't know, but I am excited for this major. Hope Icefrog doesn't change too much until that. | ||

Hope Icefrog doesn't change too much until that. the patch is still very new and will evolve with every tournament. if you remember at the beginning of 6.84 it was all about drow-visage 20minute deathball pushes. i expect this patch to make some more turns in random directions before it settles down and becomes "stale". the game we see in 3 months will probably have nothing to do with what we see today. | ||
