Rubick/Meepo 2nd phase bans. TI Grand Finals always get strategically wild.

OG needed a warmup game against both EG and LGD as well. Liquid had games earlier, but it may take its toll later on.

Ana was still gigantic, Miracle was still paper and couldn't stay alive more than 5 sec vs the spectre, if he had bought at any moment before Liquid reaches the t4s, OG holds.

Tide had ravage, possibly a second (I think he had refresher shard?), TA has BKB. Spectre doesn't have BKB.

Nah.


still worth a shot though? lol


ofc still worth trying but stop thinking that Ana buying back would be like an axe call on every TL hero, the cores were prepared to hit buildings and thats what they did. Once you've let them in so far into your base, into the T4s I feel it was a done deal. How do you deal with TL's lineup? you trade and force fights on their half of the map because once they're inside your base buildings fall.

Just gotta tweak buyback's gold calculation a bit. Make it more expensive, so people have to willingly choose to be weaker in order to have buyback (even more so than now). And in a way that ramps up a bit faster as the game goes on.

Nah I think buybacks should be on team level. Buybacks should recharge on a team level, like dust or wards or whatever.

Grand Finals meta makes any sense, unless there's 5 truly broken heroes. The extra 1st phase ban made the meta more wild because there's never really 6 broken heroes.

Liquid can't play with Enchantress and Liquid can counter enchantress, so OG won't pick it anymore either.

See, what i said about game being random making it hard to play well?

This game degenerated into a complete ranked pub from a single throw by Miracle.


I would need to watch previous years to remember clearly, how the game felt at 50-60mins but it feels like it's far harder to cleanly initiate these days. With so many defensive items, heroes being so tanky and so on, you sometimes can hardly even jump supports. And then if you do jump, they will have enough gold to buyback anyway and you'll lose rosh because you made the mistake of trying to initiate and blowing your cds

They need to fix buyback dota, like only allowing heroes to TP 5secs after buyback.

1bb per team per minute

adjust time delay to a sensible

That would discourage team to go on the offensive. I suggested TP cooldown after buyback so it won't affect teams who go on aggressive plays.

good point.

The events suggested by nojok kind of remind me of the Blizzard game. Heart of .... something?
Did not enjoy watching it though so I'm not really leaning into trying that out.

We need more events on the map on top of roshan and bounty runes! Those events could give buyback charges!

Oh like some heroes of the storm thing where you have to do a mini game or something?

thats it

Unless they play 5 Enchantress, TL ends up with MC on a static hero. That's bad for their teamplay.

Hey careful there. We don't want Icefrog to hear such hearsay.

Lol. Though eventually a team will have 6 core strategies that can avoid being banned, but no one has gotten there yet.

Trying to figure out the synergy in this OG draft. They really don't have much lockdown, and in this meta, that tends to go poorly.

what a frustrating lane for miracle lol.

OG are the best mind gamers.
I don't think they'll ever tilt as a team. Individually maybe shortly but then ceb or notail will just talk them into focusing back.
