They won 1 lan in a whole year after the TI win... before roster changes, not a bad team, but they were visibly worse after their TI peak, as all other TI winners bar Navi

The next patch is going to change things so much that roster changes are going to be meaningless. Yea CNY sounds like a good time for roster changes too after they figure out what is good for the patch

Yea CNY sounds like a good time for roster changes too after they figure out what is good for the patch I think that's more for legacy reasons than because of DotA patching though. According to a buddy of mine, they've always kinda done it that way.
But yeah, as long as it works for them.

Too one-dimensional.

Because, in PPD's immortal summary of the hero, "viper doesn't do anything"
He wins his lane, some of the time. And then he... kites? but there are already so many other heros that kite well

always has been like that. Even before the rework when he still had frenzy as a skill back in dota 1. But back then he was more hard hitting carry and less tanky motherfucker since he did not have the passive with additional magic resistance

Viper has always been that kind of hero, it just became more of a problem in recent times because you can't snowball from a won lane as hard

honestly cancel is a solid/good player.
Moo is getting back into his groove as a core but he has a lot of potential and Swindle actually plays a decent 5/6 position support.

IIRC he said that on stream at least two years ago. I would imagine it's been like that since as long as dota 2 had more than 90 heros in CM

I've not watched too much from the group stage but I think you're exagerating a bit.
