The brand new patch is an absolute deal with for gamers and theorycrafters, however it would positively take some work earlier than it may be thought of balanced. At the moment we’re going to spotlight heroes and elements which might be in determined want of consideration from the balancing workforce. Not solely are they undeniably sturdy, they’re additionally fairly irritating to play towards, making for prime nerf candidates. By the way, they’re additionally among the best heroes to achieve MMR on.
We additionally aren’t going to go over the standard suspects. You may all the time verify uncooked meta stats on each heroes and aspects to search out what works the most effective in your bracket, whereas we spotlight probably the most problematic OP heroes that aren’t actually satisfying to play towards proper now.
And we thought 
Kunkka’s Torrent Storm was unhealthy. Sand King takes this idea of speedy AoE disables and pushes it to eleven. Random crowd management in an enormous AoE is, frankly, problematic, however the ordinary and logical response to it’s: “properly, don’t battle within the enemy zone denial”. The issue is Sand King will get to tug his Sandstorm round and even has a 100%+ uptime on it after degree three of the power.
That is the explanation the power is problematic: there isn’t any counterplay to it, outdoors of BKB. The entire workforce basically has to work round their BKB timings to kill Sand King at the beginning of the battle. Sand King who can get a number of defensive and tankiness gadgets fairly early, since he farms extremely quick.
The top result’s simply probably the most irritating OP hero of the patch. Certain, One Man Military 
Axe technically has the next win price, however a minimum of his performs really feel deserved. You already know your workforce made a mistake when he calls a number of heroes and wins a battle. Taking part in towards a superb Mud Satan Sand King feels unfair and random, which isn’t a superb feeling in a extremely aggressive recreation.
Noxious Plague is presently one of many strongest damage-dealing assist ultimates within the recreation. It forces the enemy to unfold out throughout a battle and with the Affected person Zero improve groups typically have to surrender on attempting to save lots of their teammate. Taking part in towards it’s problematic even within the greater degree brackets and in contrast to considerably comparable Chain Frost, Noxious Plague really scales into the late recreation.
The remainder of Veno’s equipment can be as annoying because it ever was. Making Latent Toxicity part of Venomous Gale made the previous barely weaker, because it not pierces debuff immunity. On the similar time it made Gale a lot stronger, as it could actually now theoretically stun a number of heroes per forged.
Random recommendation: Venomous Gale can be extremely sturdy towards Juggernaut, for the reason that latter received Robust Dispel on Blade Fury. Utilizing Venomous Gale on a spinning Juggernaut ensures a stun on the hero as soon as Blade Fury ends.
The top result’s simply an S-Tier assist, that’s extremely simple to make use of and squeeze the utmost out of. Do needless to say the present excessive degree construct for the hero is Plague Ward-oriented and principally follows concepts from the earlier patch.
Performed in a number of roles, Dying Mild Phoenix may be very underrated in decrease degree video games, however is an absolute menace in Divine+. The hero has an extremely sturdy laning stage, courtesy of their Side, whereas scaling a lot better than beforehand, courtesy of their Innate. Coping with the hero is problematic, to say the least.
With the Shard improve, it’s trivial to use a 20%+ miss likelihood onto the enemy heroes and this makes combating into Phoenix very arduous, a minimum of till BKBs. This provides the hero unbelievable early recreation timings, the place he can and needs to be making use of strain with their workforce and the enemy can’t realistically reply, until they’ve heroes who particularly take care of Phoenix.
The top result’s a 55%+ Win Price hero in Immortal and we genuinely really feel just like the hero’s success will be simply replicated in decrease degree brackets as properly. Phoenix takes a few video games to determine, positive, and the hero of their present type is kind of reliant on excessive workforce aggression, however there’s nothing improper with going late with the character — Phoenix scales very properly and their teamfight contribution is all the time related.
These are our picks for probably the most annoying OP picks of the present meta, however we perceive that each one Dota gamers have completely different experiences. What heroes do you personally really feel want a nerf? Who do you hate taking part in towards?
Share your ideas within the remark part beneath, whereas we collect information on heroes and aspects that might positively use some love.
