Maybe. The thing about nullifier is that any of the other 4 heroes on your team can build it too. And even if you fix that issue, there's still the fact that there's still too much of a change that you jump away to different targets.

The problem with omnislash is that it's just too RNG to be useful in pro matches. You don't know who you're going to hit, and you don't know where you're going to be when it's over. That's fine for pubs, but can't work in pro matches. And then there's the balance issue - buff it too much and Jugg becomes a smurf hero, or first phase ban in pro matches. Bounty hunter is another great example of this - it's either in the dumpster or first phase-banned.

It's hard to make a hero that works both at 1k MMR and in the pro scene, and at all MMR levels in between too. So we end up seeing a lot of bland heroes in tournaments because it's really easy to balance the game around all the heroes' HP pools. The tanky strength core meta (like carry DK that felt like it was meta for 3 years) was really what killed my interest in watching the pro scene.

Well, that was a bit rambly, but with all of that said, this year was a lot better I have to say - really refreshing to see all the magic-based linueups. Seeing teams trying to burst through heroes with just enough mana/abilities/damage amp was really what made all the fights fun to watch.

And stop paying for Windows while we're busy getting rid of it!

I don't play anymore, but from what I've read elsewhere, PA is heavily countered by buying armor items. Shiva's Guard was very popular in this meta, so that makes PA unpickable. Magic damage was also very strong this year, so her innate evasion is useless and she can't fight without BKB.

She also needs battlefury to farm, so she's very slow. By the time she's ready to fight, teams will have already itemized around her, once again making her useless.

As the casters were saying, Juggernaut basically needed 3 more item slots to feel like a good carry that game. He's just not a viable hero with her ultimate being what it is. Halfway through the match, I found myself thinking that they should make omnislash a regular ability and make blade fury his ultimate or something like that.

They are sociopaths, so they thrive on making others insecure

It's solid because it's so simple. And the documentation is great too - the handbook has everything you need!

Sounds like the distro is kinda of a clown show (see this comment: https://reddthat.com/comment/28643289), but it is really nice to see derivative distros coming off of Void. To me, it's a sign that Void is gaining more relevance in the community which is great because I really think it's the best distro out there these days.

Very true, and it has a much stronger effect when there's nothing around you. When you're in a large Asian/European city with tall buildings and narrow roads, everything feels closer so a small amount of speed feels like a lot. On massive American roads where everything is spread out (like the one in the photo), a lot of speed doesn't feel like very much.

That was such a beautiful game 4. The last pick SK was perfect and 9class's itemization was also incredible. The doom on Collapse during the last fight in front of the radiant base was also genius. Such a high-level game. I'm probably cursing Team Vision by praising them so much but that was an immaculate performance.

Addiction to speed is a part of it. I think being trapped in a car actually creates a lot of psychological issues. Another one that doesn't get mentioned enough IMO is claustrophobia. All these psychological issues are probably big contributors to road rage.

I love this game.

I haven't been following dota2 much lately, but this game3 between liquid and falcons makes dota feel like it did 5 years ago. Love seeing how liquid adapted their draft (I don't think void is meta anymore) and the fights are off the hook!
