    Don't want to be "that" guy but there is a small typo in the second paragraph. It should be "there is a jungle" not "their is a jungle".

    Fun read though. Good work!

      @froghouse no, BE that guy :) My proofreading eyes are getting old :< thanks!

          Nice post. I do think Invoker need some nerfs, but he is the kind of hero everyone wants to see in competitive. I think the actual problem is with his summons and coldsnap, and maybe increasing the SS cd. Still, I hope he doesn't get nerfed to oblivion.

          Wonder Man

            Pudge and Sniper are the most played heroes in Dota2, isnt it?(check alltime stat)

              Interesting article!

              LightOfHeaven played Enigma during The Play from TI2. Puppey played Enchantress that game.

                nerf them, or buff their counters

                  No don't be that guy, for that guy is me >:O.
                  Also since when is Pudge so unique, yes he is amazingly good and strong if played right but the hero is not as unique as stated.

                    i hope there are new things happening with io with 6.87

                      Rat dota would still exist with Lycan and Arc Warden imo. These heroes both offer safe, viable, strategies to rat in more situations than most heroes. (Almost typed hereos, I LOVE DOUBLE STUFFED HEREOS :D)

                            So...any word on when the new patch will arrive, or should we assume it will be last minute before Manila Majors?
                            I don't think it's very fair, or good communication from the devs to never say anything for when we can expect the new patch, especially since they come so rarely. Like, mind keeping us "plebs" in the loop for a change, Valve?

                              They nerfed the blast of voker..next the cold snap like sniper headshot was a bash? Why cant they just reduce the damage or int growth? :(

                                      Only I noticed OmniKnight is op as fuck? I mean free bkbs. 360 pure nuke. a slow aura that pierces bkb and of course why not a 100% evasion for a period of time to all his friends.
                                      I know I know get a diffusal blade but still it is better than many other supports out there, his winrate is big for a reason it is not a coincidence

                                        You're talking about the perfect support player, which doesn't exist in this game :)
                                        If he were to, then omni would indeed be OP.

                                        mr. swag boss

                                          No mention to Batrider? That guy's been slapped with the nerf bat so many times and he's STILL a good hero.

                                                      LOL Enigma was nowhere to be seen at Tier 1 matches for a good year since pre-TI5. Stood the test of time? More like disappeared in his own Black Hole and Interstellared his way out of it right now.

                                                      Really @eggs... don't refer to DotA as a MOBA. It's a degrading term made by Riot for LoL. Show some respect for the coders that built this game to what it is today; from Euls to Icefrog.

                                                          In the last paragraph, the "two of the most played" directs to most played players, not heroes...

                                                          AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

                                                            IT WAS LightofHeaven who played enigma in The Play. Please get your facts right author.

                                                            day n' nite (what what what)

                                                              Meepo so original which is fun because of his ult

                                                                yea. if u guys think invoker is op, just reduce some of the spells damage or int growth as some guy above said! that's wise! I mean. Look how much damage does Earth spirit spells does. Well, it's ok one spell does silence too, and the other one stuns, but it's so reduced. only real nerd guys can play it. like bat rider move speed could be increased by 5 or AA damage buffed by 2%? it is so annoying to last hit with him. you got to be so damn concentraded. it varies a lot.

One question though, is Dark Seer starting in jungle really a thing? I don't think I've ever seen it in my pubs and I've only seen it in pro once, Alliance running it against I think CoL during their final game of Shanghai BibleThump.

                                                                                  Shaza

She's actually worse in this meta than she has been for as long as I've played her. The early game stomp heroes like DP, OD and voker have seen to that. If you are losing to Spec, then I'm sorry but you just need to git gud. End before 35min. Ez win. Don't be an idiot and give her time to come online. Pick a strong offlaner. That is all.
