Professional player Roman "Resolut1on" Fominok believes that in Dota 2, there are no longer situations where midlaners single-handedly secure victories for their teams. The Ukrainian's statement came during the grand final of PGL Wallachia Season 1 between Team Spirit and Xtreme Gaming.
"It feels like there are no midlaners who carry games solo. Dota has become so balanced now that the importance of each support is essentially the same as that of the cores. It's not like it used to be when someone like SumaiL would run around with a 20-0 score on Tiny and dominate. I haven't seen that in a long time.
Larl finished the fourth game with a 15-0-17 score. It was in favor of Xtreme for a long time. The team took Roshan, and did some running around. Actually, no, it was even the whole time. Because the game has a big map, Dota is oriented towards farming, not running and ganking.
The fourth game wasn't a solo show by Larl. The whole team performed very well. Mira made incredible saves on Pugna. Miposhka carried several times.
In short, those days are long gone. Although the only player I see doing such things is Malr1ne. Sometimes he really carries." - Roman "Resolut1on" Fominok
