Wow , another GREAT question ! I think there ' s a clear garbage tier of heroes , e . g . Visage , Techies , Gyro , Zak Sven , but above that this must be the best patch we ' ve had in terms of variety . I mean , even Treant saw play for a week or so ! Drow I think goes heavily one way or the other , i . e . teams either stomp with her or get stomped . OD is still often ignored but clearly some games he just takes over too severely . It ' s not really worth paying too much attention to it anyway , as the next patch seems to be promising a huge shakeup , so who knows what it ' ll look like ? Even if they do nerf a hero , it could still be strong , just like OD . obligatory hipster mention of Wings showing anything can work <| sep |> Some of the factors to consider are 1 How much traffic you are attracting .
