The meta, though evolving, has become quite familiar.
A few days ago, we sawwhich mid heroes were having a great time in pubs on patch 7.33.
The heroes have been picked as the best performing ones from the Divine and Immortal brackets.
The choice of heroes has been made from a combination of high pick rate and high win rate heroes.
In terms of items, Slark is probably the best carrier of Echo Sabre and Diffusal Blade.
Why are these two items important in making Slark strong?
Because both of them got upgrades Echo Sabre to Harpoon and Diffusal Blade to Dispenser.
Additionally, Dispenser provides a dispel.
Windrangers win rate in professional games is quite abysmal just over a lowly 43%.
But in pubs, she seems to be doing well in either the carry or the mid role.
She was slightly nerfed in patch 7.33c, but still continues to be a strong hero.
However, she isnt played in the same was she was pre 7.33.
She can send her illusions to all the camps at the edge of the map and clear them out.
This helps especially when playing from behind, when the enemy team has control over majority of the map.
Phantom Lancer builds Diffusal Blade in pretty much every game.
In the late game, most PLs used to end up selling Diffusal for higher impact items.
