I think it was the morning of Day 3 in Groups where suddenly Tinker was Meta. It could still come back.

Why no one else is going for the core Io? It does not seem that hard to use.

Nobody probably wants to play it.

IO is a weird carry and it seems people like Ana who was party Q-ing and pubstomping plebs at 3k are the only one who likes the hero.

It isn't just about the hero. You also have the entire game plan around it. It isn't just 1 person playing IO, it is running a strat around it with heroes that fit for 3 more people.

It's TI. What you like to play doesn't really matter from here out. If there's something broken, you need to be able to abuse it.

As for this match, I don't like the Underlord, though it does lock down some heroes.

It is TI.

The more you should play heroes you are comfortable with. Remember how the recent winners have been winning TI ? Playing what they think they are good at. Not what they don't wanna play.

That forced to play what the captain wants is like 2015 oldschool dota2 meta. The most successful teams play whatever the fuck their players want.

I wouldn't underestimate lategame Bristleback but that hero is just so crazy at lategame. AM won't be able to burst it in the initial jump(having low mana) and his warpath stacks can make him a harder hitter than AM would ever be,
