Dota's current balancing method is killing heroes' identities

LS is still exactly the same hero he used to be, but in a meta full of fast, range int carries he just doesn’t do shit.

LS cant trade with BB or Centaur or any other str offlaner right now. I have hundreds of games on him and there is a clear difference. It has nothing to do with opposite carries, you never picked LS to counter carries unless they were str.

WR was never really “viable” across the scene, because her kit - which is still exactly the same - inherently only serves a pubstomp purpose. That always used to be the case, and just because she is worse now doesn’t mean she was ever good as a core.

Just a bit ago Yopaj was destroying with WR mid and some other mid did, the hero just got dumpstered, it has nothing to do with pubs.
