Oh yeah. I was killing you.
It's interesting to see w33ha play on a team that is actually good. I thought he looked like garbage in all his previous pro matches but he looks really solid so far for Secret.

Wasn't PPD who said anyone can be good at Dota you just need a good captain?

It is impossible to get RP off over an ancient seal -- the latter has a much faster cast point.

It's possible if you're in a position where Skywrath has to turn towards you, but that's not guaranteed to be a decent spot to RP and only gives you a tiny window.

Uhh, it is if you time it so that magnus is mid animation as song ends, which is very very difficult.

Good point! It's a 0.3s cast vs. ancient seal's 0.1s.

She has been in the meta on and off for a while. It's not very exciting and she is unlikely to reenter the meta until AM exits it.

I'm sure someone will come in and tell me why I'm wrong but AM always seemed like he was part of the meta because he countered the popular mids (Lina, QoP, Storm), not because of his own merits. So if the heroes he counters so well fall out of the meta I'd guess he will too.

AM hits 6 slots faster than any other carry and can somewhat safely participate in mid-game teamfights. Trade off is that he loses lategame to most other carries.

That was true before 6.84, though. The question is whether what AM does will still be a good fit to go up against the heroes that will rise rather than if he can do what he does in the first place.
