There's plenty of pro and semipro and pubstar players that are good enough to be big but there's only ever a handful of winning teams at a time. Whether that's for outside reasons like money and stuff or that for some reason 5 individually good players can still suck and lose together idk u be the judge

You can't really 1:1 "this guy is better than that guy in this role". Except Miracle that dude is the best player ever to play dota

I don't know why Rupture needs that buff, given that anyone who is ruptured is 98% guaranteed to be stuck in a choice where they either take Rupture damage or right-click damage from the guy who cast it. I've never seen any situation where it benefitted the recipient to run away, especially since that'll just result in minimap awareness and a faster bloodshitter.

They only buffed ranks 1 and 2, which did need a buff. It's not even that big, only 15% more damage on rank 1 and 7% on rank 2.

Man what the hell my biggest complaint about Mankind Divided was the fact that they brought back Adam "404 Personality Not Found" Jensen how does an announcer pack give him more likeability and character than an entire game

Buffing all the heroes that didn't get picked at TI, nerfing Mirana Agh's and a couple other superstars of TI6, and... buffing offlaners?

That Timber nerf barely seems like anything. That Oracle nerf seems like almost nothing.

In a world where we have dota players who are really good at the game and give amazing performances nearly every single time they play, and also players who are really cool and you'd love to drink a beer and play mario party with them, why would you want to cheer for someone who is not only neither of those things but also pours monster energy drink on the heads of people who are both of those things

why

I mean, a whole bunch of teams have at least one of That Guy who you already don't like and don't want to support in general. EG already has some as it stands so if you're cheering for the team already why would one more be a dealbreaker.

In other news:

Demon has left TnC. Sucks, but I guess the run through TI has made him a much more valuable player than before so he's probably gotten some good deals.

Valve has a released another comic, this time revealing that Antimage and Windrunner are apparently only capable of speaking the same lines that they already say ingame.
