        third is not for thee

        they should nerf iron talon tbh. even if you go 0-3 you can just buy a talon and go jungle for 5 mins and fight the 3-0 guy on equal footing, even more so on your favor because if you kill him you get a bigger gold reward then him killing you

                          Nerf Warlocks's Fatal Bonds to a constant 25 sec. cooldown and nerf Mirana Aghanim's Scepter Starstorm Interval to 11 sec. to make it more balanced and tweak without even destroying the hero :P xd

                                  Offlane should change name to Second safe lane.

                                    To answer the question: "The question remains though, why are play- and spacemakers now predominantly played in the offlane?"

                                    They've almost always been in the offlane, not just all of a sudden, here's why:

                                    In short, you want the guy thats going to be leaving lane to make plays/space to be in the lane that technically matters the least that way their lack of presence resulting in a lost tower doesnt effect your map control that much, while simultaneously making the farm safer for anyone to go to that lane and farm creeps under t2. The offlane t1 isnt that big of a deal, it doesnt effect your jungle farm like losing a t1 in safe lane does, it doesnt get you closer to rosh pit, and it doesnt help you control top rune.

                                                I actually preferred the old offlane, before iron talon. You had to know the hiding spots in the jungle, and how to leech XP!

                                                  @Sorrowheezy that is true for the radiant offlane tower but the dire offlane tower is pretty important for rosh control

                                                      'Physical damage has always scaled better than magic damage, mostly because it is not reliant on a finite resource such as mana. It also isn’t particularly reliant on hitting or chaining your abilities properly'

                                                      These arguments seem like bullshit to me. Physical damage scales harder because you can buy attackspeed AND damage quite freely, whereas improving spells is limited to specific items that provide benefits which don't stack as hard as attack+damage.
