I mean talents have been in thee game since 2015 i think I don't have too big of a problem with them but yeah a lot of the decisions lately make it obvious they don't REALLY know what to do with the map.
2 rosh pits is awkward as fuck, and the fact rosh has to walk from one pit to another, while kind of amusing yes, in the end makes no actual sense other than the devs don't know how to balance his location.
Lotus pools, while initially were made to diversify the gameplay of the laning stage, have actually had the opposite effect and make laning stale as hell with the better skill support usually always being able to snag flower first.
facets are mostly just dumb with heroes having 1 you go 99% of the time and the other you go the other 1% of the time.
Inates could have been cool, but with too many heroes it just became the passive they already had or they have outright dumb ones that make no sense like TA's or IO's.
Replacing wisdom runes with wisdom totems didn't actually address the core problem with it in the first place.
Neutral Items just need to be removed its obvious that there will never be a way to properly balance them and teams will almost always find ways to overmeta the shit out of them. It was boring as fuck watching EWC and EVERY team was going full sister's shroud. It's so dumb. Just remove them.
Tormenter was fine until they fucked with the rosh pits again and now they just awkwardly sit in the far corners of the map making it a hard as fuck objective to take simply because you have to convince your whole dumbass team to stop everything they're doing to treck a mile across the map to fight this thing it's so dumb.
Watchers are dumb and are only there to provide useless busywork into the map
Extended map could have been cool, but only serves as more space for your afk pos 1 to escape to making it even harder to convince him to do fuck all as now he's busy having too much fun killing fucking frogs.
