There's an odd bug in the fantasy points; whenever Morphling makes a replicate of a Shadow Demon disruption of himself, Shadow Demon gets any fantasy points for the Replicate (I noticed when Fear killed the tower mid and PPD got the point for it). o_O

Then how come average MMR of EG has dropped a whole thousand since TI5?

hopefully teams will start banning sand king after seeing him shut down the safelaner and have influence incredibly late into the game AGAIN. I think EG would do well picking it up as well; it would give zai or universe another powerful hero to play.

Yeah, it's just that in the old days without the comeback mechanics you needed huge throws to change a game's outcome past a certain point. I remember a stat that before the changes, a 10 k gold lead at 25 minutes had like a 95% winrate at the time.
There are more combacks therefore the teams look sloppier. But it's not true.

Haha, poor RTZ, stops burning him.

Actually this stat was even more in favor of winning team after comeback mechanics.
Alchemist sort of fucks it up, however.

I am not even kidding, pretty much everyone on EG has a lost a whole thousand of MMR since TI5. Universe was almost 8.5k during TI5, ffs.

Did we really need any proof that solo MMR was not that important?

Well, actually, i am making an argument that EG are indeed worse than TI5 EG skill-wise.

I can understand to a point. Farming with your illusions while you are at base feels good. But after feeding literally 5 aghs...
Also these feeded aghs was not even necessary. I mean.. Skywrath aghs sucks. Naix aghs just for fun. Oracle good to a point. Feeding himself somewhat acceptable...
Also i hate new shiva trend too. Alch isn't the best late game carry but going "caster" with alch is the ultimate absurdity.

The amount of mistakes is an incredibly faulty way to evaluate the level of play anyway. In general the more you try to do and the faster you try to play the easier it is for the game to become a bit messy. Also one thing imo that contributes to how games look is how supports have new items they can go for and how they can get more gold, which makes getting clean initiations harder.

Clear proof the north american dota 2 region has gotten stronger and is able to keep up with EG in pubs, more slots are needed for na.
