My main concern is that I find it boring that a team can go all in on a better scaling hero while only having to be concerned about highground defense. They did not care that LGD was outfarming them because they knew that a somewhat decent trade at their base was enough to put them on almsot equal footing. Ehome just went for this same kind of strat against OG, not giving a fuck about early and midgame outside of having some guaranteed farm on their main carry and be on par after some highground defense. | ||

I really like rotk, but his performance since joining LGD has been abysmal. rotk has always performed at this level, though, he's a consistently weak initiator on basically every hero but Dark Seer Don't you remember the rotk feed tax back in the day? | ||

He actually performed pretty damn well for Ehome during TI5. Sure he also fucked up, but overall he was really valuable, especially as clock. Meanwhile, I literally can't remember a single standout performance since he joined LGD. | ||

He is 14-2 this patch on the Hero. That's when LGD is scary. They're 22-16 without rOtk on Dark Seer. And there doesn't seem to be any data feed for game 1? (I just got back) | ||

Super High Ground defense, with their right main Cores, is a "thing" in the MDL meta. You can either push early or just defend and team wipe the other team. That's actually a way to play around Earth Spirit. But Earth Spirit really just needs to be banned if you're 2nd Pick. | ||

Only having to be concerned about highground defense? They had to be concerned about getting killed while managing to stall the push. They managed to stay one tower and 2-3 kills behind the all game. And outside of the highground defense, almost all their death were ppd. That takes considerable skill, more than running at towers (which is something EG gladly does as well). | ||
