to be fair, many pro players dont have even 3 heroes on that "specialist" lvl, they are just very good players and so they can make anything work
for example matu ld, yapzor rubick, topson mk, miracle voker, fy shaker or w33 wr are just these specialities which are much better than other players on the same heroes (even tho they might not me generally the best players)
Miracle's "specialist pool" is not only invoker, his slark was his MMR grinding hero and he popularized the doppelganger juke on PL.
@lilith search Topson's esports profile match history. Shit you not, he's played only 32 characters for OG since joining them. It's been about 1 1/2 years since he's joined them. Many of these were one-off picks.
Maybe you consider that number a lot, but it's almost always a selection among MK, Ember, Invo, Pugna, with these other characters thrown in here and there. Makes sense of course, you're never going to be able to ban all of them. That's the reason why I posed the question
and to your original question: in my opinion pos4 players actually don't need big hero pool at all. 3 heroes or something can be enough, since the position is much more about skill and being comfortable than playing meta heroes
haha too many ppl said 2k to me in this forum, where are they now? struggling in archon? sad
take your time and enjoy these days, soon your reign is over too
it has nothing to do with heroes
any pro will play any hero infinitely better than any of the low-mid immortals

This thought kinda stuck with me because of the thread about Topson. How few heroes can a high-level pro get away with knowing how to play at a specialist level? Like Topson, for example. He only plays 6-7 heroes(MK, Zeus, Pugna, Voker, Ember, Arc, Pango) with that "specialist", comfort-pick level, with a few other heroes played depending on meta and matchup.
I feel like carries need just 7 to 8 comfort picks, but need to know all the meta carries. Mids can get away with 5-6 comfort pick characters, with enough of a few other midlane meta picks, maybe a further 6 or so. Then for pos 3,4,5, comfort picks would have to be at least 10, then knowledge of at least 20 or more.
