This patch is about to be something we all look back on and say either "remember that garbage patch where nothing mattered for the first 30 minutes" or "remember that amazing patch where we had an amazing lategame!"

So when our new patch gets here and suddenly Drow Ranger is OP(I wish, means more hits for mah guide :P ) Let's try to embrace it for once instead of the usual cycle of

This patch is awesome!

This patch is garbage

This patch is great!

This patch is garbage

I'm bored with this patch, so now it's really garbage

I'm excited to learn the new hero combos, gold mechanics, and maybe new heroes (???pls!???) that are coming, so let's get ready.

My prediction?


SPLIT PUSH IS COMING BACK BABY
