    Need both cores and supports

      probably whatever has the highest winrate in 5k+

        Cores: jug, sven, mk, timber, fv.
        Supports: ogre, lion, jakiro, wd.
        Those are off top of my head

        Riguma Borusu

          jakiro? you misspelled 'warlock'

          one syllable anglo-saxon

            who the fuck firstpicks sven

            Lokieleven

              Sven is hard to counter are you dumb? Sven is an all around good carry with no extreme weaknesses. Good inlane and good late game. I never suggest picking any carry first pick but this thread is for first pick only

              Lokieleven

                You have a 2kda with 12 Sven games. You say don't first pick Sven because you are a terrible Sven player.
                Apart from the above player not knowing much, Sven can be first picked, but I don't think you should ever first pick a carry

                Seven-

                  timber is a terrible first pick hero

                  Seven-

                    i used to first pick sven all the time but i had a discussion with a 4.6ker before that sven is also a not-so-good first pick

                    especially not now that it's 7.01

                    Riguma Borusu

                      sven has lost control over his crucial item timings so he's nowhere as good as the good old ancients stacking sven where you'd basically outfarm everyone and keep outfarming people to gain advantage and then push with the team and jump into fights and wreck everyone

                      this ancient stacking nerf didn't hit luna that hard because the hero can fight with levels alone

                      Xignum

                        I thought you can easily counter sven with any kiting heroes

                        Seven-

                          well yes thats correct but it was hard to do it, at least in anything below 3k because no one really knows how to kite properly and a competent sven will get 4-5 slotted by 20-25 mins and break your barracks at 30 mins after winning a fight because he stunned 2-3 people and took them out in 3 swings

                          Riguma Borusu

                            yeah, good luck kiting a blink-bkb sven who has outfarmed your whole team and initiates first

                            if people know what they are doing, it's not easy at all

                            but at the point where supports get their euls, ghost scepters and when your cores have stuff like hex or can jump him with abyssal, his life becomes much harder, that's why he doesn't want to depend on running around and hitting things, instead, sven jumps to deal a ton of damage, and once his BKB wears off you're going to have some problems

                            the solution is, again, to be stronger than everyone to begin with, and to use your advantage to push as sven, but it's no longer as easy as it was in previous patches

                              Promo code :CLQ please im wondering if the faceless is for you really one of the best carries atm? Playing him safelane? Items? Thanks

                              Seven-

                                but now that his main strength is gone (being ahead of items) he becomes much less of a threat let alone worthy of a first pick

                                as for me first pick centaur works. hero will fit into any lineup and his initiation is very good, not to mention return aura is really good in teamfights and sometimes even sieging

                                Lokieleven

                                  I have not played void in patch 7.01 yet, but fv items haven't changed I don't think. Vlads, diffusal, manta, then whatever you want after that, depending on the game. But I think void is better utility now since it takes awhile for void to farm his items and this patch games end much quicker.

                                      omni isnt a bad fb since u cant take off his repel. usually always a support. pudge not bad either since should roam but who knows sometimes people think he is still a good mid

                                          For those who said Sven is strong and need to be kite to win.

                                            As a 1st pick it must be versatile hero like mk mirana jugg etc. or a hero that fits in almost every lineup like ogre rubick lion. Idk about drow though. Im a ns player though

                                              luna weaver ta and mb qop are the best 1/2s atm i think, i think clinkz has a place somewhere at the top but that remains 2 be seen

                                              luna weaver ta ember are erally really good in pubs for sure though, borderline unlosable

                                              dont think svens particularly good and void is just garbage

                                                        @kitrak: why is void garbage? Or do you mean as pos1? I haven't had a feeling he's particularly strong since the last patches, but I am too stupid to figure out why. I actually thought 7.00 would be a buff to him.

                                                            Qop is good hero, not first pick material tho

                                                            Rocket

                                                              your arguments that Sven is a good hero are actually about the other team drafting and positioning badly.

                                                              Not saying he is a bad hero but it isn't sensible to say he is good because people group up or that they don't farm fast enough when there are plenty of heroes that can outfarm sven with the stacking nerf.

                                                              CUTNPASTE

                                                                Venge carry is going to be massive this patch, heard it here first. It was already borderline viable last version and her talents are much better than equivalent heroes (+25 attack speed, +8 all stats at 15, +50 damage).

                                                                kr

                                                                  Jacked

                                                                    Lokieleven

                                                                      CUTNPASTE

Now the meta is even faster paced and he didn't get any gamechanging buffs or talents.

                                                                        Switchblades

                                                                                        u wont get away with spamming qop, position 4 mirana/weaver, ta etc. in ur solo queue, even though it works in 8k/comp dota.

Especially in 7.00 you can stack ancients on both radiant and dire, you can get a 4 stack at 9 min starting from min 3. That's a mithral hammer for your deso. Good stuff.

                                                                                          kr
