That salt. This patch is better than the previous one which was better than all other patches since comeback gold. Before that, we had some tinker/void patches and no offlane at all. I'm not sayin it's the best patch ever but it's certainly an improvement over the previous one (yo invoker od). And TI4 was good outside of VG games, the patch jsut came too late for a TI and it showed great improvement after the post TI4 reshuffle as many new strats began to appear.

I wouldn't also rag on the patch too much yet. Newbee came in on the massive Win Streak and so set the Tournament Meta. Everyone has adjusted as such. But we're already seeing the adjustments to the adjustments. (AA has replaced Elder Titan for what people were attempting, for instance. Bounty Hunter is out of the meta again.) There's still a lot to learn.

Though the trend for drafting tankier and tankier is definitely set. Going to see STR carries every game, I imagine, for a while. Until someone comes up with a new approach.

You may not like what I'm going to say, but 6.83 was my favorite patch.

Honestly why do I have to listen to this panel. How is there Redeye AND Sheever AND durka to "analyze" the draft. The only hope for any kind of high level insight is Cap...
