... who says that it has no meta.

Clearly these people have never heard of Tri Laning.

I had completely forgotten about it.

gg

It's a very risky strat. If your trilane doesn't rack up at least 3 kills it has failed.

I would like to know how a laning strategy can have a sexual orientation.

WIsh that could happen in LoL.

Riot has made jungling mandatory.

Actually it depends if you do a safe trilane or an agressive trilane. Again get your fact before posting false stuff.

Safe trilane : In the safe lane, the carry free farm, supports pull and keep the other guy away. It is indeed really really safe unless they put their agressive trilane against this lane.

Agressive trilane : On the offlane, it's all about killing because your supports can't pull and your farmer will not free farm. It is not safe at all you will loose the game if you fail this lane too much, you need to have a few kills or some towers fast.

The supports never stay in the tirlane all the time. They can rotate and smoke gank everywhere on the map. They can find levels pretty fast by stack farming the jungle.

OF COURSE Dota has a metagame, silly. A very indepth one at that. I don't think you should be making video series on these games if you don't even understand basic terms like that. What would even lead you to believe that dota doesn't have a metagame? Sheesh, some people...

Anyway, trilanes are a trend. Look back a couple of months, or even towards the International, and you'll see different lanes, different heroes and different strategies, all within the same patch cycle. Hell, in the previous patch, dual mid lanes were actually reasonably popular (Morphling/CM or Kunkka/SD).

What was the point of this thread again?
