General DiscussionPicking non-meta

I still pick void haHAA

some people can play out of meta heroes effectively even when meta is not in the favor of those heroes.

Qop is the Most meta hero of all metas you dumb NS noob
Edit: I checked mmr After my Post and im surprised...

okay

if QoP is in meta, why is her winrate so bad (see vhs brackets)?

Because people build shit items on her and then lose late game

probably their comfort heroes

If winrate would be = meta every game would be 5 abaddons vs 5 abaddons.

No it wud be 2 abas and 3 necros vs 3 abas and 2 necros

Hero pool
But this meta doesn't affects support players, right?

About QoP, I haven't seen any highlights of Mushi who was great with it, guess it's not his time anymore.

People can play the game how they want to play the game.

Cuz mushi sux dick now. Look at Sccc and Sumail play it.

^ you mean in normal mode or in rank?

You're playing on low 4k
What do you expect

i hate people that only play meta heroes, you people are what makes the game boring.

Even if you play the "most effective tactic available", doesn't mean you can't win with other strategies/heroes.
Dota is a fairly balanced game and everyone doesn't like playing the same heroes over and over till the next patch.

Support complains about picking non-meta heroes.
Then he doesn't pick Tree every game.
Nice thread.

Because you play whatever you win with.

It doesn't have to be meta necessarily. You just never know.

Maybe the guy picks QOP, you misjudge him, but check his DB and whoops the guy has 65%+ winrate with QOP over a huge span of games.

Or it may be a jungle Ursa, or Visage, or any other hero. You never know. Never preemptively judge questionable picks.

I've had a Clockwerk spammer like that. The guy just won a game against me, I notice how unnaturally good he plays and whoops. That's a 4.5k 300-something games, 61% winrate Clockwerk lover.

And no one would ever know.

QOP is good in this meta, especially against ember and many current meta heroes.

his octarine allows him to heal full with just one wave. with blade mail and his mobility he can juke and kill all that is left.
