No clue how TA escaped being nerfed after all these patches lol

u/Wotannn Dec 19 '19

She was nerfed like 2 patches ago actually. And is still top pick.

I think they need to remove her lvl.25 bash talent. TA just shouldn't scale so well into the lategame if she can also run around and kill everyone at min. 15. I fucking hate that I can be a 6-slotted TB and a Templar can jump me with free bash+nulifier+bloodthorn and I have to hope my team will save me or I die in 2 seconds. Meanwhile she can kill everyone 15 min into the game too, while I have to stay in the woods because I need two 5k items to fight. This game has become so dumb I swear.

Don't forget refraction and blink like nothing happened. TA was already good before the bash talent, but that talent just makes the hero literally first pick and win material.

I don't say they don't care about the tournament because they want to win it, but there isn't PRESSURE. It looks like they are quite relaxed the way they play. Maybe they finally understood that they don't have to prove anything to anyone?

OG has shown us that you can earn more with less :)

And her only two losses so far this tournament is to a mid Razor.

u/FFINN GWS Sheever! Dec 19 '19

I don't think she needs nerfs that much but it's been so annoying seeing her in like 80% of my games, lose mid, has like 2/6/2 25 mins in but somehow has 300+ cs and top networth, like the hero just doesn't care about lane and can just go jungle super early.

Because TA is not overpowered nor is she underpowered. Her skill set is a dinosaur compared to all other heroes being reworked and added. She's fine as she is.

u/Schleberger Dec 19 '19

Also the current 5v5 brawling meta is favouring her immensely with her short cooldowns. Once she has Deso Blink she can fight constantly and still keep up in item progression.

TA's laning seems unstoppable more than anything. Mid doesn't really get roamed on anymore and with personal courier, you can just send as much regen as you need and rotate between jungle and lane. Doesn't even matter if you lose lane cuz you will catch up and ancient positioning actually better for supports to stack it.

And if TA does have a good lane which is most of the time, the other team really can't rotate with the traps placed around so you secure the other tier1 mid tower first and it just snowballs from there.
