    Feels like it, i haven't been watching the majors, did I miss something? Or coincidence?

      Sven > Spec

      That's partially how he emerged, I said this in a post ages ago that Sven would be the one. Legit no carry can farm as fast as a Sven can.

      Zeus, OD, Sven, Windrunner are all super meta, Spec disappearing a bit.

      plz do

        ^ can u explain why windrunner? havent seen her in 4k pubs lately (i know salza spams it.. but hes like the only one)

        Born

          weeee sven. chosen a good time to quit.

            Been rocking Sven lately. Very strong hero atm.

              I called Spectre at the start of this patch. lol

              Thanks, guess it's time to learn some Sven.

              I don't agree with Wind ranger, but next patch for sure once her competition gets nerfed, also TA, calling those two.

                  I'd say sven and zeus are the two strongest, at least in pubs. insane dps potential

                    sven is getting spam picked a lot in the major and just looks really flashy.

                    even though sven looks flashy, he doesn't win games any more than spectre. specture has a highier win rate, kda, and hero damage per game. Sven only beats spectre in ability to farm and in-lane fighting. Spectre is better at everything else, including team fighting. (in this major)

                      Great, I got a 0% winrate on Sven too. Lost both games I've played him.

                      Livin' Real Good

                        Spectre has team fight, only thing that sets her apart, team fight the last few patches has been sooo important than ever, 6.84 was INSANELY team fight oriented, but honestly one of the funnest patches ever. (Storm, Queen, Lina, SF, Leshrac, Wind ranger picked a few times) (Also Tusk, FUCK UNDYING though, and a few more supports) Very fun patch back then. But I don't really like team fight meta, I like solo pick offs and stuff.

                            I'm fine with any meta that isn't 6.83 farm meta, only Sniper, Jugger, Troll and heroes who can counter them are good, 65+ mins average duration matches.

                              Sven is better in the early laning stage compared to Spectre ...he also has higher armor and movement speed

                                      Medusa is good vs Sven. Don't be surprised if u see more Medusa picks

                                      Edit: Sven is usually underwhelming with a 5sec bkb. Medusa ult ruins Sven, also farmed medusa only get tickled by Sven

                                        depends who gets the jump I think

                                        if sven blink stuns right away with god strength already activated and bkb he's going to kill wind obviously, anyone sven does that to will most likely die.

                                        however, wind can keep sven disabled with a shackle and scythe very well. and windrun is also very good vs him pre mkb.

                                                  ^You really should just farm, i think only tp for fights if its going to get you kills, a tower, or both. else just try and get that 100 cs @ 10.

                                                  if you want to counter sven, ursa is super good. sven with 6 items cant fight ursa with only 5. Also i have bear-based bias.

                                                  imo hes just too easily kited tho, invoker, furion, and many other popular picks will never let you get close.

Just build whatever you need as long as its nit armlet and you're good to go. Farm treads drums and you're ready to destroy, assuming you banned OD ir not playing against it. He can easily zone out the offlaner and get sven level farm. I like to go bf then hearth on him and with good farm he ahould should roughly have those items by min20 then just bkb and game over. If it goes later manta just makes him stronger so really why the fuck be a stagnant piece of shit hero like sven when you can be mobile with ck and deal the same amount of damage, literally don't let people escape and bring towers down faster!!
