SirActionSlacks commented on the change to the token system in Dota 2’s ranked mode

Most of the games were just boring blowouts, but the match between Serbia and Greece was a whole different story. Now that was really cool! Remember Ad Finem at The Boston Major 2016? Well, they’re back—and how! A bloody meat grinder, an epic series. If you want to watch a match—don’t hesitate, go with this one.

Support players who’ve never mastered other roles can now comfortably hide behind their terrible coordination, using command-calling as a cover, and then die in epic fashion. Folks, we’re back.

Now you can pick one in-demand role and not waste tokens on role-based matchmaking. The experiment that forced supports to play on a difficult lane is finally over. We’re back, friends. Welcome home.

I realize most of you don’t care, but as someone with 20,000 hours in this game—spent exclusively in the fourth and fifth positions—I can say: this is the biggest news for every hapless loser in my public groups who’s ever seen my Axe with Arcane Boots in the offlane.
