On the discussion of banned characters and such & especially imbalanced heroes. All heroes are was imbalanced in this game... which is why the game is was balanced. Now with some hero nerfing and some hero empowering, its become a little unstable. You guys probably won't agree with me, but i find that all heroes could be broken/godlike/imbalanced with the right items. Some heroes are easier than others, it doesn't mean their better.
For example.
When dazzle and Dark seer first came out... they were extremely underestimated by other people. Especially dazzle...being called a support hero more than once. Which yeah he is... but my point is, I can carry a game with just dazzle if i wanted to. The same applies for all heroes. Another good example is krobelus... Everyone I've seen (recently...it might be different for you all) has repicked krobe asap. Krobe is amazing... spam 300 wave damage, Huge area target silence, Synergy for all of it and bonus movespeed. and the exorcism...which I myself..personally love.
I do think icefrog did make a balance in the more recent versions with item updates. Intel heroes generally have more escape options and definitely a little more disabling. I do like the new euls. Didn't like the new requirements for guinsoo though. its definitely a tier 4 item now. definitely harder to rush (at least for me).

Ar vs Ap: I've been finding myself playing more AR games over AP for two reasons.
1) I get bored playing the same heroes... so I random.
2) I'm tired of everybody picking the same heroes over and over again.
I swear I either see nightstalker, troll, BH, or Bloodseeker in every game. even the 2v2s and 3v3s. I know they're popular heroes. but we have what... 80 or 90 heroes to choose from? Even sd and rd are better as it filters out the possibility for them.

New topic: Sa remade.
My buddy and i were considering a new build for SA... which he perfected. He hates invis heroes... and thinks they're completely noobish. So he decided to build SA without his invisibility ult. Power treads. Wraith band (1x or 2x), MKB, S&Y, Butterfly, vlads/2nd butterfly. Yes the double butterfly occurred... he was ridiculously fed. Didn't get the MKB though.. that might be why.
Cloud/blink/backstab levels 1->12. then stats for 10 levels. He was crazy good. especially since his backstab damage was off the chart.
Your opinion on this guys?
