paper and anyone else here who thinks icefrog has a damn clue about balancing and fixing dota is a complete idiot, please go look at his "accomplishments" before you think he knows whats going on with dota, heres a list just off of the top of my head: THD, BB, Luna, Spectre (all fucking versions of this bitch), wards, Puck, Clockwerk, Mekansm, Kunkka, KotL (the first and latest one), Lycan, SB, PotM, Dagger (the first nerf), Burrowstrike/Impale, geography of the map itself, do I need to continue?

BD isn't going be coded against because there is a casual side involved, close matches in pubs and casuals are not going to be dragged out 90 minutes because one team can't push the other solely based on match ups.

and jeejee, when you scrim someone you typically play by a set of understood rules otherwise what is the point of scrimming? like when you IH you don't resort to BD-ing to win every game and you certainly don't BD when you are ahead just because you can win the game in 30 mins instead of 40 mins. like if you are going to defend BD-ing based on your arguments, then don't cry when a team comes rumbling down a lane with 5 necrobooks or mass euls/sheeps/arcanes cause that is the epitome of "mid game you are so fucked".

no shit icefrog sucks ass at balancing, but that's completely irrelevant to the topic of backdooring you idiot

if there's a casual side involved, why did he get rid of pooling? it's in the same category as backdooring. but thanks for bringing in random shit like imbalanced heroes and geography to "counter" my argument.
