Dunite posted:More so I was hoping that supports would be less evaluated on if their whiny crybaby chose to play the game rather than throw. I play 4/5 almost exclusively because support players are loving terrible and all the poo poo that the game used to give you support points for (warding, stacking, etc) are not representative of what you need to do to win. 99% of support players just sit behind me in lane trying to reassure me that if the enemy goes on me they're going to save me, but that's not helpful at all and you need to be spending you HP/Mana trading into them

I wonder if they're cutting back on English talent significantly this year. There were 31 people announced last year vs 19 on the Chinese team. Could imagine those numbers being swapped easily

Were there any 'must watch' matches from qualifiers or any recent Majors? Also do we know what time matches start next week? I can't seem to find a schedule

Bot TI 2 ruled.)The inexplicable pango ball well before they even got to the center of the map. It wasn't just before they saw the enemy. Also, getting rid of blade mail. You might as well as pick a random items to ban because they're better for some heroes than others!

I think next year they should do doubles. Two of the #1 seed with three of the #last seed. Two of #2 with three of #last-1 etc.

I'd be interested to see what would happen if they added some different terrain in the center. If they added trees would it ruin the feel of it, or totally break the AI? Surely it would totally break the dominance of AOE nukes. It might just make Zeus unstoppable.

I liked it a lot but a lot of it came down to who was given items/put points in skills the AI would actually use. I can understand the mail and bkb bans, but it did dumpster p much all the beefy strength heroes.

Yeah they're all good, they actually nailed it. Can't really think of any snubs. Obviously I always want to see Draskyl but he barely did any casting this year.
