We proceed analysing excessive stage Dota to focus on some attention-grabbing contemporary concepts. EEU and SA are two areas the place video games are extremely chaotic and aggressive and it positively reveals of their draft and construct preferences. A few of their concepts are a return to classics, whereas some are model new, however all of them must be simply usable in your on a regular basis pubs.
The latest buff made this facet a default for the SA area, it appears. The quantity of injury Jakiro can deal in trades will increase tremendously with the Liquid Frost facet, particularly when you’ve got a Blood Grenade to repair the enemy place and dish out some additional punishment.
The tradeoff is that Jakiro with this facet doesn’t push in any respect. He may also help with the creepwave, perhaps, however the absence of Liquid Fireplace is certainly noticeable in the course of the early midgame.
In our opinion, it’s a tradeoff price it each time. The tempo of the sport is extremely excessive, particularly in larger tier Dota, and having a robust laning stage is preferable to having a pushing help. The same old construct is 2-0-2-0 by stage 4, with optionally available additional ranges in Twin Breath if you’re combating quite a bit. By default, although, stage 5 is whenever you usually need to begin taking Ice Path.
Itemisation-wise, 
Mekansm stays a extremely popular and efficient buy. Alternatively, we’re seeing a variety of Eul’s purchases, as it’s a good strategy to arrange an Ice path, and an unbelievable merchandise in opposition to presently dominant 
Ursa and SA-specific 
Spirit Breaker.
Hand of Midas and 
Octarine Core Spirit Breaker isn’t any extra and this patch, at the very least within the SA area, is a return to type for the hero. Typical Spirit Breaker in SA will get 
Part Boots, 
Shadow Blade and begins roaming the map seeking kills and setups.
It really works quite a bit higher than attempting to farm and beef up, as the sport proper now could be all about tempo. Observe your preliminary couple of things with an Eul’s and also you additionally get an honest save for your self or an additional strategy to arrange a kill for incoming teammates.
The hero can’t be picked each recreation, in fact. One of many highest win price heroes on this patch is Darkish Willow and he or she places a cease to the Spirit Breaker’s potential dominance. Whereas the skilled scene has assured bans, in pubs you may find yourself with a hero that isn’t as efficient, as he might be in additional structured Dota. Equally, don’t decide Spirit Breaker into Clockwerk.
In most different circumstances the hero is a variety of enjoyable to play, he might be extremely efficient and so long as you talk your intentions together with your teammates, he’ll lead you to victory extra typically that not.
This can be a very baffling construct that I personally think about very questionable nonetheless. It is rather a lot meta for top stage pubs and the skilled scene, nevertheless, so let’s attempt to determine why precisely this merchandise changed typical 
Diffusal Blade.
As an alternative of offering an additional burst of injury on Swashbuckle, this merchandise offers Pango with a gradual and a few additional right-click harm for when the hero fights the enemy with out utilizing his talents. Which is kind of uncommon, however it may be useful occasionally.
It additionally provides Pango some additional HP and mana regen, making the hero a bit tankier, which could be very good. The identical, if not larger ranges of mana regen and additional survivability might be achieved with an Eul’s. The latter may also be used as a setup for a second Rolling Thunder stun, making Pango an honest hero in opposition to elusive targets.
Lastly, Echo Sabre provides a possible improve into 
Harpoon, which could be very good certainly. It may be used to drag targets nearer to Pango in the course of the Rolling Thunder, permitting for a follow-up stun. It’s a good late recreation merchandise for the hero, contemplating his stage 20 expertise and this expertise is probably the rationale why this construct grew to become so widespread.
It’s extra of a grasping, late-game oriented method that has some downsides in the course of the early midgame, when Pango is meant to be extremely proactive, however whereas we disagree with it for the very best ranges of the skilled scene, it must be superb in slower-paced pubs.
The regional metas preserve growing in their very own little worlds, however there’s positively fairly a little bit of an overlap. It’s going to be extremely attention-grabbing to see how the sport progresses over the following couple of months and the way Valve will reply to some questionably balanced heroes.
For now although, we’ll carry on analysing the matches and maintaining a tally of some attention-grabbing concepts and even some hero mixtures. Inform us if you happen to discover one thing attention-grabbing within the remark part under.
