Carlo «Kuku» Palad - Geek Fam offlaner talked about how the changes in the patch influenced his game and also named the strongest heroes in the current meta.
Carlo says that at first he really didn't understand how to adapt to the patch:
At first, I was really confused on how to interpret the changes and how to alter my game. The game has gotten slower because now, we can’t capture the enemy’s Outpost before taking down a tier 2 tower. Regardless, we will just adapt with the meta as it goes on. In terms of favorite and least favorite changes, nothing particular sticks out.
In addition, Palad said that the current meta is very suitable for carry heroes:
Yes, I’m very happy with this meta as an offlaner. It is also quite a good meta for carry heroes, because they can really farm throughout the game and slowly scale into late game. Doom! I think he is the best hero for me right now. Batrider is also quite good. Right now, the offlane does not feel too stressful and there seems to be a lot of room to do things. I can help my carry scale into the late game, but the carry has to be realiable.
Finally, Kuku described how the changes in the ban stage affected the games:
It impacts the drafting significantly, because if you have three or four solid heroes that your team can excel with, you always end up getting at least two, now that only two heroes can be banned in the first phase. If you have second pick, you can abuse the last pick in the first pick phase, because you get to follow it up with two bans. It can narrow the choices into something very specific. It also impacts the later portion of the draft, as that will be a reaction to the strong heroes picked earlier.
