I agree it's pretty bad, was definitely bad in game 3 but you know you have millions on the line you have to sometimes default to your comfort heroes. N0tail Chen is as comfort as it gets.

LGD's strategy pool actually got quite screwed by the patch. Ame was an am/morph/slark (and gyro) type carry for them traditionally while chalice was the initiator offlaner. You could see some difficulty because of it at the beginning of the tournament, it's really impressive how they've managed to adapt. Fy being a complete god all tournament helps of course.



As dota keeps evolving (or devolving, as I prefer older versions) that tends to happen.

We've come from trilanes, to dual lanes, to mid matchups, to dual-trilane mids, to offlanes being the #1 gold position, to sacrificial offlanes, and so on so forth.

Things that were lost and never found are junglers (we lost them long time ago and now with talon gone for years it's done and done) and traditional roles.

Before the gold shared between a team was way stricter, now there's just so much gold and everyone gets this and that and that and another item, etc.


Also I agree that Chalice and Ame both had their heropool hindered by patchs, but who knows, I just hope for less patches like before so teams can figure the best and so on so forth, a patch every 2 weeks kills the patch developtment process and strategy learning.


Someone said that valve were done with the biweekly patches the other day. Not sure if it's true, but I hope it is. And yeah, I hope we can revert a bit to an at least semi-safe safelane (it enables so many more strategies I think) and an at least semi-viable jungle
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I get that but there must be other heroes he can play close to as well as Chen. I mean a 80% proper support would be better than a 100% chen
