DAC shows how much Europe's changed, autoqualify Secret and put C9 in Americas qualifiers (Fucking bullshit done just to secure them a place over an actual NA team (for quality it's good but for fairness it's awful, they've got 1 american and 4 Europeans and by the same logic teams like Tinker should be able to qualify in NA.) and the teams that dominate the qualifiers are Hellraisers and Power Rangers.
Sounds about right. I know I'm bad and could probably still climb and I'm at 3600/3800+ unranked, and that's roughly top 15%/10%. Yet you'll still get all the people who say that top 20% is about 4k because they've never played below that sort of level.
They had like 35 minute megas after my team couldn't really do shit resulting in support PA and the tree decided starting quelling blade was more important than warding, upping courier etc. The only reason it was that close is as soon as they got megas, they fed me 3 kills worth like 3.5k gold which paid for a rapier.
It's not that much worse than most other solved patches and there's been way worse, it's just that the meta heroes are innately pubstompers anyway and they've hit the point of being boring to play with/against. That said they're all the kind of heroes you don't mind having on your team but are fucking cancerous to face.
http://www.dota2.com/majors/ Yup, this is big. We moving to CSGO style system and keeping TI, or at least it looks like it.
Yup, I reckon we could be looking at a ti3ish meta, Alch, Chen, Enchantress, Bounty could all come back a bit. 400 gold for level 1 rune on Alch is pretty ridiculous.
Sending 5 to a rune to defend it is worth it, just because it's like getting a first blood on him for free.
Would like to see an alch get both runes somehow. Grab the first one while his teammates block access to the other using ES, Clock and Prophet maybe
Realistically it's best to 5 man into the alch's rune. There's no way any hero should ever get both unless they were the only person who went to a rune and mid.
