NS named the main feature of the Dota 2 patch 7.38c meta

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov noted that the Dota 2 patch 7.38c meta brings the game as close to its roots as possible, as the distinction between different positions in the team is blurred.

The content maker shared the corresponding opinion on Twitch.

"Now, by the way, pay attention, we are back to the origins, because again we have the roles are maximally blurred. It's not quite clear sometimes, who is a support, who is a carry."

According to the statement of Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, originally in Dota there were no clear roles, which appeared some time after the release of the second part. The content maker believes that different positions were introduced for simplification, to divide responsibility between team members, and previously players' actions were based on the characteristics of heroes or needs at a particular moment of the match.

"There's never been a forester role in Dota. And there were no roles in Dota for a long time. Roles from 1st to 5th position, carry, not carry - all this nonsense was invented not even in the second Dota initially, but after some time in the second Dota. It was invented after some time. There was no such thing originally. And that's why there was no forest ranger role either.

It was invented by people to simplify things, basically. I mean, to make it easier to figure out who does what. There was no such thing originally. And that's why there was never a forester role in Dota. Just sometimes someone went to the forest out of necessity or necessity, or simply he has such a hero, and it will be pleasant for him to farm Enigma or Chen there."

Recall that earlier Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov predicted the emergence of new mechanics in Dota 2, which will give players the opportunity to get gold for completing certain quests.
