[Analysis] Agility carries on their way back in?

Seems to me that with 6.61b strategies starting to become a little bit more consistant (rather than the mayhem of trying out changed heroes right after version release), agility carries are definately starting to see some play compared to their non-existance in 6.59d.

Back in 59d it was all about the int. Your necro/krob/tinker/storm was the carry on your team, but with some nerfs and changes in playstyle, I think we're starting to see agi carries move back up into viability. Viper is a great pick now, morphling is being picked often, spectre sees a few games paired with a zeus on the team, sniper was being picked alot recently (though may have just been a phase), sylla bear is looking incredibly dangerous. I also think meepo can get more play and jugger is nice to pair up with your rhasta in-lane. All in all, agility carries seem to be making somewhat of a return to the game.


Just watched this replay which was a fun change in lineups, cD pick what looks like it could only be found in a pub game - an all agility lineup, and against a team with the "imba" dirge and TC, crazy.

Thoughts? Agi carries moving back in? How long before we see some TB action? :P
