The obvious answer to this question is that they are not. The heroes do not have their facets quite yet and this on its own puts them in a weird situation when it comes to competitive play. However, given how the professional meta is getting a bit too static and given how there are multiple upcoming big tournaments, we are here to argue that adding them in their current state could be a good idea.
The wait is over and we finally got the new, massive update. It is becoming somewhat of a trend, that the game receives something huge at the beginning of the year and we are all for it. The new patch is certainly going to shake up things in some very unpredictable ways, so today we are going to share our first impressions, knowing full well that some of our conclusions might be off the mark and we might miss something important. It is impossible to always be correct with something as complex and deep as Dota and that is why we love this game so much.
It’s been a week since the release of the Wandering Waters and it looks like this was a patch dedicated to massive mechanics overhaul, rather than balance changes. We are definitely not complaining — the game feels very fresh, though there are definitely some kinks to iron out and some heroes to tone down a bit. Latter category is what we are going to discuss today — the most powerful characters to play right now.
Wandering Waters didn’t introduce any new regular items to the game, but it did heavily modify several potential options. While there isn’t anything blatantly overpowered in the new regular item pool, these new options definitely deserve a discussion — some of them are quite a bit better than they look.
