General DiscussionAnyone else hate this meta?

i dont like invokers

in normal skill picks dont matter
but i like this patch, u can play riki

^
Get rekt blunt lmao

Yes this meta is dogshit, I even liked the 6.85 more because of the neutral camp stack

boring af meta

I didn't even watched 1 pro game, because all the heroes are soooo ResidentSleeper

This has been the last two patches for me just wait it out and party game a little bit.

Don't play heroes you hate, there's no point winning if it isnt fun, its better to lose and enjoy it than win and hate it, its not pro game, its game for fun.

@ Havoc:
Isn't this a good axe meta?

People hate Invoker, and it hasn't even been a full month since this patch was released, really? He's CERTAINLY a better top meta hero than the others, i'd prefer him anyday over a Blood Seeker meta, you know, a hero that takes NO skill compared to Invoker? At least that way not as many people can spam him, cause not everyone is good with Invoker.

This meta is eh, I have nothing to complain about, and all the picks are pretty diverse in my opinion. I guess people that don't like the pro games are the same people who like SF and Queen meta's all year. lol

I think this meta is alright, pretty much freedom to pick more heroes than like 6.83 when you had to have like sniper troll jugg or something, 6.84 was almost as bad with leshrac storm spammers, I think 6.85 was ok just a bit boring, slardar ta other armour heroes, now we can pick a lot of heroes as long as its not some fucking shit idk batrider puck etc

I have the freedom to pick Pudge in this meta without getting flamed for missed hooks
Love it

I think the meta is too fight-oriented. And wins are very unpredictable thus as a game, everything comes unexpected.
The Unpredictability to me, mainly comes from whether ur carry can go 6-0 in 15min.
I don't like this meta for such.

Predict my MMR pls ...
Idk dota nowadays is easily to get higher mmr from calibrate it than to raise it..

I suggest playing jungle ogre by boneless. Once u finish jungling stack aether lens and rape squishy 3k carries

I think it's fine, just wish sniper didn't suck so much. I'd much rather face invokers than non stop storm and wr spam.

A smurf complaining about not liking heroes rofl. If you want I can give you my smurf, then you'll still be playing against pudge, PA, sniper, drow, huskar, bloodseeker, riki, etc etc all the time.

@kitrak:
yep, you literally have to play with a bunch of monkeys to win the game. 2 patches ago you could pick a hero and win 1v9 because you were fucking better. Now it's impossible you cannot outfarm the feed of your monkeys.

@Murranji:
sounds like fun lol

^ this

is blaming the meta, the new version of blaming teammates for losing mmr?

and btw, the monkeys will drop mmr in the long run, because they cannot get carried if they feed.. (if ur theory is right)

I just want this stupid net worth system to be nerfed. early 5-man dota is too strong.

The gold per kill gain*

Sounds like a fun, but I can't say for sure, I've only played a single game this year and it was in LP.

No, sniper blows even in 3k. You have to get carried, you have to have people front line for you or you get blown the fuck up. It's basically cus the meta has changed to a ton of early fighting with a lot of disables and heroes that sniper just can't fight til he gets farm. And with headshot nerf and shrapnel nerfs he can't kill anyone early anymore. Slardar, invoker, sf, lc, all those guys can dive sniper so easily and your team has to rotate or you get nothing out of it. Pudge too extremely popular and shits all over sniper, even if you dodge hooks he can dive and rot you to death.

Delete invoker and pudge from dota.

let's be honest here. even if you hate this meta. you'll still play it right?

ehm, I'd rather play vs Storm/Qop/Leshrak/SF meta then VS invo every fucking game
