On the "newer heroes are stronger thing" I mean, there is definitely a "skill creep" in the sense of heroes having mechanically more dense skills than they used to

It's kind of a thing in fighting games too where people cry that developers make dlc chars broken on purpose to sell more dlc (but ofc they conveniently dont bring up all the times the new chars WERENT broken). It's not that the devs were trying to make someone busted, the game is just more solved after a few years so the dlc char comes in with a bunch of tools to fit the meta. It's like on day 1 you got Ryu's dry rear end, then by the 4th round of dlc you got chars with all kinds of exclusive mechanics and any hole in their gameplan is 100% intentional. It would be funny to see people's reactions if like Sven never existed but he got released today. "WTF HE JUST HITS STUFF"

I know the trend for a late in development moba is to make a hero that does 20 thing with 4-6 spells but I hope one day they make a new hard pos 1 carry thats just for loving IDIOTS to play. Like he's naix/wk levels of "imma just hit you". I dunno if Pango was supposed to be that but it didn't work out like that. Closest thing to that since dota1 is MK and he's only the closest by noone else being remotely close. I just want a pos 1 hero that wasnt made in like... 2005.

Like literally gimme Marci with 3 passives and a farming move and lemme plow down teams hitting 1 key while drunk.

I reckon a hard support hero built around shortening/refreshing allies' abilities would be really funky, but super hard to balance.

Also, more heroes that break the 4 or 5 skills concept. Invoker' is great, albeit a bit complex. Rubick's spell steal mechanic is really awesome.


Or, hear me out, we get a hero named Face Smasher who farms an item or two then smashes everyone's face in

Glad to see people experimenting more with shards these days. Like every patch reviewer was going "this sucks, this hero will never get 1400 gold!" in both big shard patches. Like okay I get it, it fucks with the timing of alot of life saving items your low farming hero needs to not die or a powerspike a hard carry really doesnt wanna miss, but they're waaaaaaay overdramatic about how much 1400 gold is. Then there's the lazy option where you don't get a shard cause it gives a new ability and "I don't want another button to click" or "I'll forget to use it".

There is a huge percentage of EU top-MMR players who just seem to lose every single game I watch of them and I don't have any idea how they maintain their ranking. Gorgb and Xcalibur are two of them

I lowkey think I'm a cursed viewer. Every streamer I watch goes on like a 5+ game losing streak and I see from their w/l bot they were winning before I tuned in. Also the sheer amount of times I've tuned into a speedrun and they do a run-ending mistake like within the first 60 seconds of me looking despite being on godlike pace before.

God this NBH/Level Up game is clowny as gently caress, such an obvious gulf between this and the upper division

Yeah when someone loses to an upper division team and its like by 12k gold after 50 mins and everyone is like "OMG THE TEAM SUUUUCKS" its like.... do you know how huge of a gap they had to overcome to even get to where they can push a T1 team this far? There's no tier 1.5 so you got a hell of a jump to make to close the gap. It's like if after you clear world 2 on a normal mario game, a kaizo level is the next world.
