General DiscussionDota theory: What if tp was 500 gold?

death ball meta for sure, think about it, you either lose your T1s and T2s really fast, or speed 2.5k gold to defend it. If you TP, they all just leave knowing you spent 2.5k gold for no reason now.

cores would get travels every game i think

would be a huge nerf to offlaners and vulnerable mids

global strats would maybe become more popular

I'm gonna go on a whim here and say heavy solo pushers will own these games. Anti-mage, lycan and especially Nature's since he has the strongest ability in the game. Either fight him and let the other 4 heroes do whatever or focus the rest of the team and lose rax. Im gonna guess meta will be one pusher and then 4 teamfight heroes.

wisp and kotl instapicked every game

Chen too. Walking back to base to heal is the most painful thing in the game now.

BoT becomes godly in that meta.

How quickly do you rush it though?

Lycan , terrorblade everygame

Meta would be 80% furion.

why no one mentioned meepo?
+meepo will rape furion easily

everyone rapes furion. even supports

^ how?
say, loa, omni or undying? u spent 500 to def, then he just tp to another lane and cont push

BoTs Meepo imba

@Mastadoom
definitly not death ball, since rat is faster to take tower, and it force the tp.

But it will be an even more mobility meta, tinker and furion suddently ultra god mod, and every fast heroes (slark / am / troll ... being even better).

And also Backdoor strat everywhere.

greatly increased popularity of NP, Io, Lycan, Broodmother, Naga Siren, TB, etc. and BoT, too. boring push doto.

we forgot treant aswell, since he's one of the best to deal with rat doto

Distruptor's glimpse will be op as well.you can send a hero back to the fountain and that hero has just spent 500 gold for a tp Gg Wp ^^

Io could be the most overpowered hero by far

bara, bara everywhere

then travels would cost 8000 g

u honestly want more annoying spirit breaker?
