its still all damage sources its not just the big ones and lucky rngs that matter, if you're having long fights with manfights, backtrack will just make it way more likely you survive every time, and lifesteal becomes more efficient in a sense too
it has a 5.3% winrate difference on dotabuff that's pretty significant
it's just kind of strictly better in most situations imo, especially for how void operates as a lategame carry at level 25

dota dads is the best content among any other contents from all tournaments

Hopefully this series deliver. Because if we get the best or second best crowd of entire event for underwhelming series, it will be sour.

Remember the old days when LGD wore sweet white jackets?
Probably the only eSports wear I would own if they weren’t sold exclusively in China.

If free will does not exist, then you are not in control of your chrono placements either. And even if you are, you are not in control of your team mates stepping in this chrono, just look at Yapzor last game.

Nisha survived that last fight with like 10% HP, he'd be super dead without Backtrack talent. I get why people like the Chrono talent (it's hard to spread out enough that you aren't getting most of your team caught in it) but at that point in the game it's a lot easier to have itemized well vs. the Chrono burst (see: Aeon Disk). That game in particular was horrible for the chrono talent because the two big Mineski cores could not be bursted in Chrono

Trying to make a strawman, that they don't control what their own team mates does, is you just wasting everyone's time.

They tried and Bulldog probably acted like a vaccine.
And Kyle is good, even if he always believes in the push strat, like when he was a captain.

IG jacket would work better as actual piece of lifestyle wear, though.

And yes, it definitely removes my argument, since it means that choosing talent itself is not a decision made of free will, but my point stands: going for more RNG and less control just makes sense.
