@nibba brick: i am semi old dog but latest meta i remember is that leshrack one from 6.84, heard of sniper troll but there was a lot of metas before even from dota 1. Thats also interesting part. Like when magic ember arrived some said its like dagon ember from 2009 or something.
I still have a hatred for troll from sniper troll patch .By End of patch I ended up resorting to picking sniper to counter the trolls .
was sniper troll 6.83? that long ago? I do remember though, I spammed troll a lot. There was a juggenaut meta too, actually looking at the change logs it was 6.83 too. He just out of no where got +6 base agility and they buffed his level 1 crit to 20%. He was insane level 1 for a while, people would jungle him cus he had so much agility.
There was a bloodseeker meta for a bit too I think right after his rework before they nerfed thirst quite a bit.
6.52 Riki, Kotl
6.57 DP, Necro, Und, Rhasta
6.60 or 6.64 Morph
Unfortunately I cannot recall more. But these are embedded in my memory.
Doom, Morph and AM were always considered good by Chinese.
I'll dig up some archives I have to give more info.
TI5 wasnt all about razor void and sky?
this was TI4 and their deathball shit they did like in 7.00-7.04
Balanced my ass. This game has never been balanced. And SF has never been OP. If you had the skills you could manage but it wouldn't secure you wins like trash troll, tinker or storm or invoker or those other really OP shits.
get shit on in lane
go to jungle and farm 99x stacks
come out with 2 times the nw of opposing midlaner and go 5 man
win
very skilled!
TI6 was Void and Mirana, Void was definitely not picked up in TI5. Pros only started picking him up after his rework. TI5 was like SF, QOP, Storm meta.
I thought we were talking about pubs not pros though. Like sniper troll and bloodseeker were never pro pickups but they were ubiquitous in pubs for a few patches.
^this was when he had 4.2 agi gain no Kappa
I joined 6.86 when OD became aids and so did invoker, DP, even sven was very strong but not cancerous.
pl wasn't almost an insta win at that moment, sd was.
literally having your 0 networth support being more usefull than the 50k networth opponent carry.
Since the day i started, only 2 meta (and not "hero meta") were cancerous as fuck (three if you are only a carry player, but that 3rd one was still kind of ok for me)
1) 6.61? somewhere there, literally play hood vanguard on everyone, full heal strat on both side (not dota2)
2) somewhere near ti4, with that 10 min deathball strat, with the only playable hero being all anti fun hero
(and so mb 3) with the ti5 era, with all carry but gyro/sf being totally unplayable
but i agree, i dont think that first pick heroes are that broken as they used to be, dota seems more and more balanced overall
the problem is that the patches are changed way too fast

Hello. I wanted to ask really old dogs to make a list of old META picks with patch number. New people which started at 7.00 may not know the cancer of Invoker and OD in 6.86 (was it this one? :D). I think i started playing doto again somewhere at 6.85, this was probably SF and QoP patch. Anyway would like to hear how it was before so we can gather small chronological list.
