This is by all means a rant about the future of DAC.


Yes, I know how to rank. I know how to win.
Just grab any of the top 3/4, unquestionably superior meta that counters everything and boom.
You use the same formula every time and every time and you will rank.
But the game is no longer fun. Its incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring and predictable.

I cant no longer play hunters, gods, or so many other fun builds because the last patches add new stuff without realizing that we don't need new stuff to be added -- we need the versatility to make the game fun again.
This is not happening since a lot.

Here is how I think of the current meta:
- Random panda drops that make you op: Gyro3, Ember/Void, or any that allows for a very op early ~ balanced cause it's still very rng based, not necessarily easy. Its a fun build. Gambling, amirite?
- Late game 4 cost ~ predictable, boring
- Goblin + Dranei ~ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. just ♥♥♥♥ this build
- Meepo SF elementals ~ fun, but at the same time, boring
- Undead aqir ~ boring
- Lina, but not seeing it much lately ~ fun, harder


The fun within these builds is finding the right items, positioning, and late synergy switches for countering any of them.

Now, are we forgetting about *all of the rest* synergies that we have in this game that are suddenly.. ♥♥♥♥?
Nowadays I just play something different cause honestly, I just got bored of repeating the same recipe every time.

And of course, at any point you play you might:
- Get f**ked by a bad relic early.
- Get steamrolled because someone got a panda drop super early
- Get f**ked cause NOBODY knows how the rounds might be predicted. Facing the top opponent two times in a 4 round spam with 8 alive happen, and its incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.


This adds to the already abhorrent bugs like the reconnection bug (years now?) .
And the developers roadmap seems to be "add new stuff, ♥♥♥♥ the rest".
