One of the biggest problems of leaving ranked play for a prolonged period of time is that returning to it can be problematic. Loss of your muscle memory, games sense, and knowledge of the meta can lead to a devastating losing streak. All your hard work gaining precious MMR can all be wasted in just a few games where you didn’t perform to the best of your ability.
This week ESL One Birmingham wrapped up their regional qualifiers, French football club Paris Saint-Germain partners with LGD, and the Dota community scrutinizes some of the invited teams for the China Supermajor.
Dota 7.13 patch introduced massive changes to the hero attributes, while considerably slowing down the game. Naturally, changes in the meta were to be expected and in fact, in the first couple of days the patch created quite a lot of balance issues. Luckily, they were quickly dealt with in the 7.13b update.
Riki hasn’t been a part of the meta for a very long time. For over a year he was heavily outclassed by most other roaming heroes and no one even thought of trying him in the core position. It wasn’t until patch 7.12 that people started exploring the hero once again.
This week Optic grabs their first Pro Circuit points, Patch 7.13 targets the deathball meta, Mineski Reprimands Iceiceice for his use of a racial slur
Another fortnight—another patch. Dota 7.13 is a very experimental patch that is almost certain to have a massive impact on the meta and power levels of most heroes. It will be exciting to see how it will play out; however, there are definitely some reasons for concern.
Out of the two latest heroes, Dark Willow rose to prominence in the latest DAC 2018. She was the 2nd most picked support at the Major (7th overall) and is currently boasting a near 54% win rate in 5k+ MMR brackets. In just a month after her release into Captain's Mode, Dark Willow has found her place in the meta.
DPC tournaments keep on delivering intense action, and the DAC 2018 is no exception. This tournament resulted in some of the biggest changes in the Pro Circuit standings, highlighted that Virtus.Pro is in fact, beatable, and has shown some definite signs of improvement in the meta department. This last point is of a particular interest and will be the main focus of today’s discussion.
Mineski becomes the first SEA team to win a Dota Major, Valve permanently bans cheaters from matchmaking, and Pudge finally gets his Arcana.
A week has passed since Dota 7.12 rolled out, and there is no denying how healthy this patch was for the professional meta. Similarly, the pub meta has also seen some changes with many previously underwhelming heroes becoming a lot more viable.
Despite the nerfs introduced in 7.12 Sand King is still going strong. Given his popularity in the current DAC it is safe to say that much like Disruptor is the meta’s most reliable position five, Sand King is easily the most consistent and successful position four support.
Our mission at Dotabuff has been about giving the community the tools they need to improve. Dotabuff Plus Plus+ powered by BuffCoin is the next evolution of our services.
Dota 7.12 patch came in-between Day 1 and Day 2 of a major tournament and one would expect for the changes to be minimal. That is not the case and 7.12 is a patch full of significant hero changes that will shake up both professional and pub metas.
As Jakiro's popularity rises and falls with the meta, his skills and stats have been buffed since forever. In today's push meta, pro teams have started to bring him back into the fold.
DreamLeague Season 9 might have been a minor tournament, but it featured top rated teams and some of the fiercest competition, along with very welcome changes to the status quo.
