Malr1ne shared his expectations from the upcoming patch for Dota 2

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak said that he would like to see Primal Beast, Tusk and Pugna in the next Dota 2 patch.

The corresponding proposal was voiced by the player on Twitch.

"I want three heroes to return to the meta. The first one is Primal Beast. The last time we saw this hero alive was last year. It's just crazy, he keeps getting weakened and weakened. I can't figure out why. The second one is Tusk. He's a sapport these days, but why not bring him back to the meta in the mid? Even Nine at Tundra Esports played him, why can't I? And the third is Pugna. It's the same thing here as with Tusk."

As for the return of the Pugna hero to the meta, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak also noted that playing on this hero is fun for the cyber athlete. The cyber athlete also recalled how Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen often used this hero in one of The International tournaments, but noted that the character is useless in the current meta.

"I have fun playing him. Topson was often played on mid Pugna, I don't remember, at the eighth or ninth TI. Was actively taking that character to the center at the time. Now he's out of commission."

Recall that earlier Quinn “Quinn” Callahan named the most useless hero in the current Dota 2 meta.
