Just saying: this is first patch with dota going so long.

Since 6.82.

Couldn't ramzes have died (he died first, right?) bought back, bought refresher, re enter fight?

I think they took that fight really poorly. Idk i guess they didn't have CD's

He had used buyback and had it on cd by that point.

This game nicely highlights the big point with lategame dota though: you need refreshers to have ults up after buyback, not for double ults in lategame.

I mean, you're all complaining about the late game dota here but doesn't this really give the better playing team as far as teamwork and coordination goes the chance to actually win the game no matter how far behind they were? Remember that AF should have won this game like 40 minutes ago.

Heisenberg as a caster? ODP's shirt fade into the green burgundy screen? Guess they are having a bit too much fun with the production.

Im glad that AF won this because if they didn't after such a dominating early game, they would have probably tilted for the rest of the series.

IDK if they find a way to force BB w/o losing anyone, they win that game. I think it was a bad call that lost the game.

lategame dota has always been pretty stupid. It's shitty to see so much buildup, so many small advantages earned over 60 mins, and then ultimately everything is determined by one big fight, which can be determined by one big initiation or one mistake

Late game dota seems really volatile and punishing right now.

idk it tends to be like a series of fights that determines lategame, and is more about strategy involving buybacks then anything.

Kinda disagree with your assessment.

Its always been like this man, except when buyback didnt have cooldown, but that was ages ago. The gold swings in late game arent important as the casters paint them to be.

Late game Dota across the qualifiers feels decided more by whoever has buybacks than actual outplaying. I get that late game is a tense battle with every move hanging by a thread, but most of the games end far too anti-climactically to really enjoy them. It's strange to see teams that should be ahead terrified to push high ground because once they slip up a team fight the advantage swings heavily on the other side. There's comebacks, and there's forcing a comeback through game mechanics.

it was like that before comeback mechanics. I dislike how this unsubstantiated narrative has become a dominant meme.
