Every patch there are bullshit S tier heroes, I don’t even hate this patch but it’s just been going for too long. Imo though Antimage, Spectre and Tinker make for the most stressful Dota games if they’re over buffed. Tinker especially getting perma hexed and him spamming pewpewpew as you get lasered to death
riki
Uncommon pick but lycan. Melee heroes can’t catch up to him and ranged heroes can’t get away from him. He is a goddamn beast in lane and will deny everything and take your tower in 8 minutes
True. I knew a lycan spammer that would go helm of dom and take the 5 min catapult and end games by 20 min having like 90% Winrate until 6k
Global heroes. I hate not being able to show my ass bot when I just saw the entire enemy team top without getting instantly destroyed.
Sure with all the new space you can just not show up, but it makes games longer and more tedious to play.
The fucking IO meta thanks to Ana. They stomped you with IO, took 1 t3 and fountain farming you forever until you had to leave the game.
There’s so many - riki, sven, pl, am, sniper, troll. So many.
sniper, tinker, doom, sb
Heroes that require very specific counters (tinker), or heroes that are overbuffed to the point that even their counters don’t do much against them (current spirit breaker, lina a couple patches ago).
still ranking up, spamming bara and np as support
AM, it’s the one hero that I don’t want on my team at all. And if he’s meta it means games are just lasting for way too long with no way to finish before min 50 and farming no fighting is the go to.
Tinker being meta is not too bad if you just have catch with zeus+ spirit breaker or similar. If you don’t, it’s annoying af
Any meta in which players can finish in first 15 mins. Arc, Tinker, Husk, Alch,… or heroes that cant be outfought that puts you on a timer like PL, PA, AM, Ursa, Morph, Naga,…
I especially hate playing against Alch, AM and Morph tho, first 2 because of timers and Morph because it is usually some smurf on it.
SB spec being OP is the worse. They just jump to u and u die
Brood meta is cancer af
The worst metas are the ones where the strong heroes can completely 1v9 dominate a game if the player is a smurf. Tinker, Arc Warden, Meepo, anything that can split push hard while also killing everyone without there being anything you can do, against them you can’t win through teamfighting and you can’t win through splitpushing.
Any of them.
If it’s OP, it’s bad.
Spectre meta when dispersion range was huge.
