Satanic commented on patch 7.39 meta

Alan “Satanic” Galliamov called Phantom Lancer a very weak hero in patch 7.39, and Juggernaut, according to the player's prediction, will also not be popular in the meta of the new update for Dota 2.

The corresponding opinion was shared by the player on Twitch.

" Phantom Lancer is very weak because he doesn't do anything. He's really bad on the line and in fights. I don't even know what he's good at. I don't know how to make him work. We need to get his old Aghanims Scepter back. If Valve brings back his Aghanims Scepter, Phantom Lancer 'a can be taken in easy drafts. Juggernaut is still bad, but he can still be taken. I don't know in what cases, but it's possible. I don't know if we'll see him in drafts, I don't think so."

According to the player's statement, Faceless Void, although it has been strengthened in the new patch, is still only suitable for situational drafts.

" Faceless Void got buffed in patch 7.39, but it can only be taken in games that are convenient for it. He's still not as strong as he used to be. A situational hero."

Alan “Satanic” Galliamov also brought characters such as Drow Ranger, Lina and Muerta back into the meta by strengthening ranged heroes, while the player described Morphling as strong despite the cyber athlete's reluctance to play him.

"In patch 7.39 they strengthened the ranged heroes. Probably Drow Ranger will return to the meta - I'm glad I might get a chance to play it. I'll probably play Lina or Muerta as well. The latter I've piked before, so maybe I'll test it in matchmaking and we'll take it to tournaments. Either way I'm ready to try them out in official matches. Although I haven't even practiced on Lina in pubs, I'm sure I'll be destroying on her. Ranged heroes have gotten stronger, you can use them.

I haven't played Morphling in this patch. Just don't want to take that hero, no mood - it's not that he's bad or anything. I'll definitely play him. He's still powerful."

However, Alan “Satanic” Galliamov believes that Templar Assassin is still the best hero for first position, despite the weakening in the new patch.

" Templar Assassin is still the hero for the first pick. Yes, she has been weakened, in particular her talent at level 15 and Meld. But it's not a big deal because now you can use the Refractor aspect and stand the line well. The problem is only with the talent at level 15, but it is not so critical, because the hero can be taken to different positions."

Recall that earlier Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev called the imba of patch 7.39 for Dota 2.
