Broodmother, Lycan, Huskar and Meepo are the top 4 most winning heroes in the Divine/Immortal bracket, a statistic that strikes fear into the hearts of pubbers everywhere. In this episode the trio spend some time discussing this and other trends in the 7.24 meta, before finishing their coverage of Neutral items with the 60 minute wild-west pick-ups we know as tier 5.

#72 - Matchmaking Update and Tier 3 Neutral Items Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

How confusing is the new matchmaking? Is it more or less confusing than Marco's alternative tier system? I'm not sure, maybe you will have the answers after listening to this 72nd edition of New Meta Podcast. We discuss the relative power and utility of the tier 3 neutral items, after spending some time discussing the addition of Classic Ranked and the current state of matchmaking and mmr.

#71 - Tournament Action, Venge's Pub Dominance and is DK underrated? Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

We cover a lot of ground in episode 71! Discussions on the recent Minor and upcoming Major, before full discussions on Venge's dominance in the pub scene and Dragon Knight's awful 1.5% pick rate, is this hero criminally underrated?

#70 - Tier 1+2 Neutral Items, Doom and 7.23f Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

In episode 70 we discover that Immortal players don't use nether shawl, that Lifestealer is actually an agility hero and that a true DotA player always sheds a tear when watching the 7.00 patch reveal video. In less spectacular discoveries we talk about what makes Doom suddenly a tier S hero as well as the balance changes in patch 7.23f. The main chunk of the show is spent discussing the strengths, weaknesses and key aspects of the tier 1 and 2 neutral items.

New Meta razes the game by dropping a hammer of an episode this week! A sizable patch coming our way in the form of 7.23e, we review the changes and how they effect the state of the game, also checking in with Marco for Void Spirit Corner. Then we turn our attention to two famous and yet still curious mid heroes: Outworld Devourer and Shadow Fiend, both having been subject to ability re-works in the Outlanders Update.

In episode 67 we cry a bit about losing games then proceed to uncover the true value of team aura items! We start with the low-cost trio of Basilius, Headdress and Buckler, followed by the early/mid game items of Drums, Helm-Dom, Mekanism and Vlads. We also then spend some time on the more expensive and better defined items of Pipe, Crimson and Grieves.

How many ranged strength heroes are there? We're pretty sure we worked it out since last episode, turns out there's four. Today we give some follow-up thoughts on Void Spirit and Snapfire coming off the back of last week's episode. We then cover what changed in 7.23 to make Lone Druid (35:00), Tiny (46:45) and Venomancer (52:52)so hot right now.
