DOTA Quiz - Round 8

Shouldn't it be "The Professional DOTA 2 Quiz!!!2!!!"?

I was also thinking about calling it "The Professional DOTA 2 Quiz!!!1!!! - Round 2", but didn't look as professional. D:

It's more accurate though, as the first 5 quizzes revolve around Mechanics. This one is about the professional scene. Incorrect naming convention detected! 8{3

There's no doubt that it's absolutely core on Mirana. I think it's fair to say it's more core on that hero than anyone else. But it had got to the stage where almost EVERY carry would pick it up. For a long time it was known as the ranged version of the battlefury. But it had got to the point where mele heroes would pick it over the BF. Lycan, Void, Lifestealer, Axe, Tiny etc. Not saying that all of those are natural BF heroes, just that it had become the go to choice for most people on most heroes. The item was too stronk due to the changes in the defensive electric shield thingy.

It also sort of reminds me of what a game developer said to me once (different game) that even the best modders can't always see the reason for every change to balance (because of the butterfly effect) so it's best not to try and read a developers mind without all the information (i.e. the coding). That's why I wondered if it was officially the reason or just general opinion. Because with the latter we can never know for sure the full reasons however likely it may appear.

syndereN is working for DotaCinema, not for JoinDOTA.

Uhh no, syndereN casts games with Tobi usually.The fact that he helps DotaCinema make certain guides has nothing to do with him working with them.

I don't think it was Mirana alone, although she might have played a major role in the nerf. Mjollnir was just overpowered in the current meta, due to a kind of wombo-combo. Being a naturally good item for a carry, it was being built on heroes like Mirana, Lifestealer, Faceless Void. Combine that with tanky cores like Dragon Knight and Centaur Warrunner and [{Aze]] on whom the active is simply crazy, it deserved a nerf.

What I'm trying to say is that, it wasn't just that Mirana picked the item up a lot. It was more about the combination of Mjollnir pickers and tanky cores that could melt towers and teamfights with the active.

Nah he's right. Synderen officially joined the Dota cinema team as something like head of e-sports. He does guest cast for JD and BTS sometimes though, more BTS though these days since I think he moved to the states.
