It's TI. Your job, as a pro-level player, is to abuse the most cancerous options available.

your response doesn't make sense; he's not blaming the players, he's calling out the game
It is up to the players to choose the counters. Just like it is up to them to play to their strengths.

Let's be honest here, did anyone actually enjoy that game? This seems like the clowniest of Dota i've ever seen.

how the fuck are you guys blaming the game for rng not being able to break base when they threw away their map control by diving tier 4s

It was a great game. As much as Tree volley is OP, the other team has 6 slotted gyro, ench and OD - thats pretty op aswell

Makes me wonder how differently this game would have went if RNG didn't dive Liquid's base. Late game Dota is in an interesting spot with consumable Aghs and what I think is gradual power creep to that period.

nobody is doing that. People are complaining about AW being the uber-techies + NP in one and tiny gibbing entire teams from 1500 range.

6 slotted gyro looked completely helpless in the face of insta kill trees that hit for infinity from far away
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Lost too many pubs against AW, I think. lol But, TL got to the point of the synergy of the draft and RNG dove T4.

Is this the best run ever by a team from lower bracket round 1?

are tree volleys skill shots? It didnt look like it, which is quite bad to say the least.

Sorta? It's a channeled, ground-targeted AoE, and the trees have travel time, so you have to predict where the target will be a little, and it's possible to move/Force Staff out of the area. But the area's pretty big, and the tree projectile speed is pretty fast, so it's definitely not a hard skill shot.

RNG picked OD. I'm going to assume if it wasn't for OD TL would have at the very least not picked AW. But that OD pick makes it so hard to play any of the normal agi/str carries if you can't make sure to win lanes. Yeah Arc warden is also agi hero but he has lots of int and tends to buy int items so he doesn't just get insta-deleted by OD ult

and yet liquid got away with it for 40 minutes with zero saves in that duration. OD is still a range creep with a fancy skin when BKB is active.

is OD OP compared with most other carries? I'm not a carry player, so I'll just say sure for you. But this AW 25 and tiny aghs stuff is broken.spark wraith goes from a minor nuisance to a game ruiner when AW hits 25. Tiny aghs underwhelms without crits and overperforms with them. They are not well balanced and possibly not well designed.
