Bane, Spectre, Techies, Tiny and Wraith King. What makes these "bad" ?

Spectre and Bane are possible. Tiny is unlikely outside of a very niche pick with Io. Wraith King is just considered single target version of Sven right now.

You can make pretty easy arguments against the last 4, but I'm really surprised we haven't seen a single bane. That just feels weird.

Can you elaborate? What are these easy arguments against these 4?

Techies isn't in Captain's Mode so he can't be picked

Spectre is a safelane hero who is very vulnerable in lane, while the general playstyle of most teams this tournament has been to leave the safelane relatively exposed

Tiny is just kind of... the hero needs to snowball so that he can kill heroes with his combo, and if he doesn't get that start he doesn't really do anything. The hero has just been sort of weak ever since the carry build with Io/Wisp fell out of favor

Wraith King is just outshone by CK this tournament imo

I guess you could pick WK vs a bear build Lone Druid since the crit works vs the bear, but it still feels kinda meh. Don't really see any of those heroes picked tbh.

1000 range is awfully close to phantom rush range. That means that in 1.5 seconds that 1000 range turns into 100.

Additional note regarding Bane:
The important things Bane can do Shadow Shaman can also do. The only big reasons I can see why you would choose Bane over SS is the higher move speed and possible ways you can get value out of Enfeeble.

Oh, you!

this game's actually pretty annoying
when you face heroes like Blink LC, Blink Veno and lich magic burst
you want to go into the Tanky SnY build skipping meanstrom
Then catching up on AS with MoM

But vs PL he kinda needs the Mjolnir

hard item choices this game.

he needs to get ahead enough to get mjolnir AND tank items fast

He's WAY tankier and stronger in lane

If teams pick bane it would be a 5 not 4, and it will be used as a lane bully.

Hopefully there are some heroes from Newbee to stop him then. But even so, Sniper can still deal a decent chunck of dmg back to Pl with just mjollnir procs.
