Show notes

The New Meta trio convene after a few days of 7.32a to collect and develop our thoughts on the patch, particularly on Snapfire and Void Spirit. We discuss how the heroes were buffed in 7.23a and what seems to work for them in this wild west early meta stage. We also discuss talents and items as well as cover some other strong heroes and bugs.

#63 - GIVE PATCH: Aimless, Jumbled Episode While We Wait for Outlanders! Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

We discuss which heroes and mechanics are for the chopping board in the upcoming mega-patch, which heroes we hope see a resurgence and whether SF should have two passives. Stan wants Void Spirit to have a portal gun and Marco just wants him to have one spell, three passives and make a funny noise.

We will likely return for an emergency pod to cover all the patch news. Watch this space!

#62 - What's Going On With All These Position 1 Heroes? Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

Why is there PL in my games suddenly? How come Luna is suddenly good? How can you do a full episode on carry heroes without mentioning Lycan having a 60% win-rate? Is Jug still pickable? We take a look at the surprisingly versatile state of the carry pool in this late stage of the patch. Using stats and our own opinions we attempt to cover all the pickable heroes and where they currently stand.

#61 - Position 4 in the Mid-game: Spirit Breaker for President! Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

How to approach the mid-game in Dota, with a particular focus on the perspective of a position 4 hero. That's the topic of the day in episode 61, with Adam, Stan and Marco each weighing in to discuss how annoying Mirana arrows and whether you are allowed to nuke that next creep wave. Important stuff! Also discussed is which hero would make the best national leader?

#60 - On My Way to a One Bite Kill! Viperous Talk Nov 01, 2019

Show notes

Episode 60 flys in from the nether reaches on leathern wings with malicious intent. So prepare for poison as the pod stop trying to cram every Viper voice line into the description and actually talk about how to win some mmr one nobody's favorite mid hero, Viper! Stats don't lie though and with this hero sitting on a 54% win rate below Divine we examine how shockingly simple this hero's play-style should be!

#59 - Where to Play on the Map: Save the Rainforest Creeps! Oct 25, 2019

Show notes

Where should I be on the map? What areas should we be playing in? Where will the lane creeps meet? Is it called the jungle or the woods? All valid questions, and in this episode we have some answers. The topics all follow the theme of what are the key areas of the map that a team should be playing in and why. We discuss concepts like the dead lane, high-ground areas on the map, playing around easy objectives.

#58 - Mireska Sunbreeze and Battle Maiden Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Finishing off what we started last week with the missing discussion on battle-maiden, AKA Crystal Maiden mid. The trio then discuss another mid hero that is perhaps even more of a gimmick than CM, the one and only Mireska Sunbreeze, known to the public as Dark Willow. Just get Aghs Moonshard lul.

#56 - Having Fun in Dota: The Hero Tier List! Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

Perhaps the ultimate Dota question... How to have fun? This is the reason we play right? Well, Marco plays for the last hit trainer but other than that. We run through some failsafe ways to have fun with the game, before going through Stan's tier list of fun heroes, with all 115 being split into 5 tiers of fun. See the discord for a screen shot of the full list/
