wonder why Omni wasn't picked much. has a good wr on paper. at least deserved more than 1 pick
IIRC he was pretty solid during the Kyiv Animajor then got hit hard w nerfs before TI
Edit: not Kyiv Animajor, ESL One Fall he was played a fair amount, also OGA Dota Pit. He comboed too well with Sven

Some comparisons for top picks and bans:
TI 10 top 5 picks:
et — 73 games
tide — 63 games
shaker — 61 games
snap — 61 games
io — 60 games
TI 9 Top 5 picks:
et — 75 games
sd — 70 games
tiny — 62 games
ogre — 62 games
gyro — 52 games
TI 10 top 5 contested:
mk — 188 games
tiny — 187 games
io — 175 games
invoker — 140 games
tide — 140 games
TI 9 top 5 contested:
alch — 165 games
ench — 159 games
sd — 150 games
mirana — 134 games
et — 134 games
If you look at the top-10, top-20, top-30 etc picks, the number of games is about the same.
So overall, the meta this year was definitely more top-heavy, but I wouldn't say it was less diverse, teams just didn't pick garbage heroes.
people before playing 3 heroes: You're noob and can't do anything.
Yatoro playing 13 heroes: Youre a god
people playing before in TI denying aegis it is the most frustrating thing.
In this TI people are forgetting to pick up aegis left and right and there are miss spells everywhere -_-

Broodmother, Lone Druid, Meepo, Outworld Destroyer, Spirit Breaker, Techies, Zeus
Less diverse meta than TI9 judging by amount of ignored heroes and the high contest rate for the top heroes. Just masked by the fact that Yatoro went bald and played All-Hero Challenge in the main event
