And what happened to PL?
He's not picked anymore.
Why?
Because people found a counter and he's out of the meta.
Icefrog is doing a great job at balancing and I can't believe how much effort and thought he puts into + he got damn great talent and the smartness for bringing the right nerfs and buffs.
Sure, some aren't that great, but it's mostly the players themselves deciding what is OP or not. Sven for example was 1st priority picked. No nerfs, no buffs.
What happened? Rarely picked anymore.
Yeah ofc, some heroes are not picked, but that's solely because of the hero concept itself. When somebody created that hero, he got a concept and Icefrog strongly buffs and nerfs around those. And the concept that Brood has right now, he just doesn't fit into meta anymore...
