okay so I haven't paid any attention to comp dota for months, how did the meta settle on radiance rush abaddon? It's been in like 80% of the games I've watched.

The hero has really good talents at level 20 and 25 and makes Abaddon really tanky which means that you can just stand in the middle of a fight and burn everyone with Radiance.

I think reddit said it best. "Icefrog has really shited in this game". 10 second swaps, alchemist giving out a billion gold to his team, -40 sec respawn timers. Is this even dota anymore?

I'm fine with the other things but the -respawn time talents are completely retarded.

Oh right, I thought you meant literal GPM or along those lines.

Yes, the game doesn't need more ways to bypass long respawns.

I think that IG lineup is the first time I have ever seen a team where all five heroes have Arcanas equipped.

Just an observation.
