DK's play is pretty amazing. They looked so far behind early but then Doom got a shadowblade and they've been getting absolutely crazy picks.

Something is wrong here. This is a game with Lycan yet I see outer towers still standing on DK's side.

Its hard to split push into a shadowblade doom and relocate.

So what changed in the meta that centaur, tinker, invoker and ember are all first tier picks nowadays? I haven't been paying attention since the New Year but every match I see Centaur, I'm fairly certain.

Centaur's stampede cooldown got reduced, Invoker's EMP got buffed to the point where Q/W is better than Q/E in most cases, and people figured out how to play ember. Tinker was always a solid pick but kinda forgotten.

RoxKis probably needs to win on this push. I dont know how you push in to this Ember Spirit though.

They actually can deal with him b/c they have hex, orchid, and fiend's grip, the problem is that IG is disgustingly mobile and has 2/3 force staffs which makes actually killing people on IG a problem.
