Streamer and former professional player Alexander Nix Levin analyzed the current meta of Dota 2 and concluded that the traditional concept of "mid" as a separate role has ceased to exist. During a Twitch stream, he stated that the mid player now operates in conjunction with supports, and these positions can no longer be considered separately.
NixI am watching the game Team Yandex against BetBoom Team and I realize that there is no longer a mid in Dota 2. Now there is a triangular attack, like in basketball. Now there is a five, a four, and a mid — that's one triangle, literally.
According to the streamer, it is this team synergy that determines success:
NixThey connect in threes like in Power Rangers. Essentially, this is what helped Team Falcons win The International. If we look at the competitive scene now — you can't look at mid separately, you can't look at five or four separately. It's a whole.
Earlier, Levin criticized the balance of neutral bosses. According to him, the reward for killing the Tormentor (Aghanim's Shard) is not valuable enough — the streamer suggested that the fourth Tormentor should launch a "nuke" at the enemy base, destroying the throne.
