NS named an overpowered hero that everyone will pick at The International 2024, and it’s not Ringmaster

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, a streamer and former esports player, believes that Nature's Prophet will become the most popular hero at The International 2024, thanks to becoming an overpowered character in patch 7.37b after receiving a series of buffs.

He shared this during a Twitch stream.

"Furion is broken—100%. Absolutely busted hero right now. I think teams haven’t fully realized it yet. Furion is very strong in the mid-game, he’s a very strong laner, and he farms really fast. Moreover, his stat growth is very high. Even though he’s not a universal hero, he still has so many stats that his damage growth is decent, along with all the other stats. That means he has a lot of armor, attack speed, thanks to the stats and HP. And his ultimate is just insanely powerful. I think that Furion, unless something is done—and I doubt anything will be, because The International is around the corner, the latest balance patch was just released, so there’s no point in releasing anything new—so I think Furion will be insanely popular"

According to him, Nature's Prophet is currently completely broken and surpasses most other heroes in almost every aspect. The hero boasts excellent stats, giving him huge boosts to attack and survivability. Additionally, his ultimate and summons are incredibly strong right now, NS emphasized. He also mentioned that it’s unlikely Valve will release a gameplay patch before TI13, so the hero might become the meta-defining pick at The International 2024.

It’s worth noting that Ringmaster recently received a new overpowered ability that destroys illusions and invisible heroes.
