Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2008 8:14 am

A frend of dota told me that bristleback was banned in tournaments, a bit like the 2 arcane ring stuff.

bristleback isn't banned in tournaments, just 99% of games he is one of the 4 selected bans.

In the newest versions BB is not a threat anymore. I almost see no picks or bans on BB, if any tanking str heroes are banned it's Dragon Knight now.

That, and arcane rings stacking is actually not an issue anymore, since it's quite stupid and impractical for 5 heroes to waste money getting 5 arcanes.

BB isnt banned in most tournaments

BB isnt that common anymore, although the MyM still uses the BB+SP combo (which lost to Ks lol)

@ghost

because permabashers are rubbish early in high level plays, they are a liability. You need one good babysitter to follow the hero everywhere, and if they fail to farm up soon enough the team is pretty much 4 agaisnt 5, especially in the newer maps where the gameplay is at swashbuckling speed.
