General DiscussionDota is a super boring game

??

isn't that what makes dota fun?

theres a shift in playstyle every 2~3 months which is why people never get bored

There is room for strategy in most games. Meta is never too rigid.

invoker, OD, omni, sven, spectre, chen

every ranked game has at least one, generally 2-3.

next patch there will be another 6 heroes with same stats.

Defiance got what i want to say with examples...

Every match same heroes everytime, is boring guys just boring.

and yes i know in this meta my heroe broodmother is stronger because invoker, od, spectre are easy for me, but is not fun i won 82% matches last week in ranked games, i boosted up 600 mmr really quickly.

im just saying i want see all the carrys, all the supports all the middler. where is elder titan, puck, troll, sniper, chaos knight, legion commander, abadon, shadow demon, venomancer, etc etc and a long etc in profesional/high level ranks ?

here guys is a resume .. http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/meta

I Spam legion ever since and I don't have the time to learn anything else

I agree. You know what I would like to see? Icefrog balancing the hero pool different depending on skill level. Meta at pro level is different from meta at pubs. Meta at 5k is different from 1k. Nurfing storm spirit may be good for keeping him balanced in 5k, but he needs to be buffed in 1k IMO.

Lol im actually a Medusa spammer and shes countered by almost all of the current meta heros and still i won 65 % last month... Fuck meta

PD: Triplesteal lick my balls timber spammer

@OhMySoviet
How you explain that Omniknight is always in meta?

lol who are you

The current "meta" is hugely overrated by a lot of players.
Of course the power of heroes shifts over patches, but not to the extent that outside-of-meta-heroes are not viable. They are situationally better a lot of times. Counterpicks and synergy between heroes still exist, and that won't change.

is using the word "meta" meta?

honestly a lot of meta shit is over-rated, but regardless you have to learn it to either

1. deal with it and keep using unconventional things or

2. embrace it and give cancer to everyone you meet online.

EDIT: how is tide not meta, this hero is fucking amazing in this patch.

Every meta hero, yes, even Arc Warden, can be currently be countered 1v1 by someone else, so victory still depends on the better team.

Best way to play DotA is still to master all the heroes and all the roles. This way, no change in meta/patch can really bother you. You always have a counterpick available to help your team win.

The only people who 'meta' really matters when picking heroes is >6k and pros. Even then it's dubious as to whether individual hero skill is more important. There are plenty of heroes that get respect bans when playing certain teams.

Everyone else can win with any hero if they bother to learn them properly.

Teach me mastah use broodmother

Not much room to say that since all you use is brood
