    this guy is still good as always, and this meta kind of fits him imo. winning against od/invo mid isnt hard, and if you get deso by min 10, you get 2 shots on any enemy hero.

      But TA is a girl

        Ta is one of those mids who needs a couple items before she comes online, such as deso and blink. This meta seems to be favoring mid laners who don't need as much farm to give a lot of utility to the team, like how invoker can cast a multitude of spells that can disable and or deal decent damage, or Batrider and Puck who just need a Blink to be effective. It's also the reason you don't see many SFs or Alchs in the pro matches in 6.86.

          @Chu4Lyfe I'm sure she isn't a feminist.

                  @Venusaurus Rex
                  ah okay then maybe we should start putting heroes like venge, wd or dazzle on mid because "they don't need as much farm to give a lot of utility to the team"

                    Woo Arin ~ Pro TA.

                    Her time will come soon, all the mids ever since 6.84 are getting nerfed, less competition, her and Wind Ranger will have their time soon.

                        I salute the people who can get 10 min deso aquila on her, that shits hard.

                        Chuffy.feeder

                          well, with ancient farm its not that hard. usually phase,bottle,deso at 12 mins max. if phase bfury in 14 mins is doable, that 10-12 mins deso is 100% legit. i dont rush blink, but go yasha after. ta can do 300 cs/30 mins ez.

                          hell, why am i even telling you this. i learned TA from your replays lol. got the build with drums and deso instead of blink 1st, learned to hit the catapult with meld to secure it, farm ancients. even some psi blades harass positioning (but dragonfist helped me more on this one). climbed my 1st 300 mmr with ta on my old acc. you da man alison!

                            yung griphook

                              my interpretation is that the meta doesn't favor farming carry style mids as much as it does team fighters and space creators.

                              TA is still good in pubs though

                              jus chillen

                                i randomed ta last week or something killed od mid 2 times and i had 30 min deso because i got killed 8 times, feelsbadman

                                lm ao

                                  I once got aquila deso by 11 xd

                                  onmywaytopilates

                                    ta is good but kiteable, like ursa sven but on carry position. if you talking about pro meta crowd control, mobile mids are much in favor. but for pubs she wrecks dogshits since dota 1 as far as i can remember.

                                    Filthy

                                      Is it possible to skip blink completely, I have never tried to learn ta .

                                      the realm's delight

                                        yes. like a year ago you would almost never get blink and go drums yasha deso instead. after the refraction change blink became a much better option, not mandatory however. if i didnt go blink i'd go dragon lance manta (after deso). you should get blink tho especially if your team has an early advantage. blink also replaceable by shadow blade, riskier item to get tho.

                                          She's still a strong pick versus right heroes. Ancients nerf and Bottle nerf hurt her a bit, but you can still take control of the game about 15 minutes in and don't let go until you win. Just don't be delusional and think that you can outcarry Sven, WK or Spec just to name a few heroes.

                                            I think she isn't that popular cus she's kind of hard to play. You need good positioning. Unlike OD and zeus where you just blow people up.
