Was the pack that good this year?

How can it be good when game is just getting more random over years?

is this bait?

You can treat it as one. In my book, the more variables there are in game, the more random outcome gets.

what do you even mean by more variables? is this just a dusty "bounty runes and talents are bad for the game" take?

Not "bad", just "random".

Game gets more "random", hence becoming a "good" team gets harder because increase in random factors makes taking proper choices harder.

But more variables doesn't mean just more randomness, but a higher skill cap. Rock-paper-scissors is random without many variables. Poker has more variables but is actually less random if I understand it correctly, because high level players can work with the variables while noobs can't.

Makes sense. Most of the team was really tier 2 at max, but they grinded so hard that they found ways to draft around their limitations. Though Faith`bian found a rare level of skill he probably couldn't replicate again.

And how does skill distribution in Poker look, then?

I do think pro DotA has reached a plateau (every game does). Every TI will see the same players on different teams. You don't need to keep up with DotA to know who the players who made it to the top are and I think the new blood well is running dry.

That's why it's cool to see pub heroes like miracle and Topson who can make a splash on an otherwise stagnant scene

Huh. I remember them dunking on everyone.
