Too many damn power rankings in a row I’ve relinquished my opportunity to kick it off with an entirely too long introduction that no one reads. No longer! I will no longer be subject to this tyranny. You’re reading a random prologue whether you like it or not!

…

Shit I ain’t got much to say actually. Ah fuck it, power ranking tim-wait, no, actually, disclaimer time.

This is all my personal thoughts, and for the most part, they’re very much initial reactions. That includes roles — this isn’t one of the season reviews where I combed through everybody’s Dotabuff…

Second time in a row I’m writing one of these much earlier than I would’ve liked to, and let me tell you, it never feels great.

A lot of the time when my teams would underperform, I’d feel like there hadn’t been an earnest attempt at working on the issues we’d have.

Admittedly, that’s just a cheap excuse to look back at the season and compare general sentiment around the league to the end result (and maybe ease back into writing a bit — maybe.)

A short disclaimer before I get into it: excluding myself, only…

Mini is apparently my domain. One win, two 2nd place finishes and a top 4 in the past 4 seasons culminate here in another win in season 8. While I’d like to think that I’m a good player and get these consistently high finishes in the most competitive event RD2L has to offer for a reason, I’m well aware that I’m very much on the lower end of positive impact players and have been largely lucky to get on a number of very strong teams.

Are you an aspiring content creator looking to fill the void I’ve left on my hiatus, but don’t know where to start?

Well, look no further — this is a comprehensive guide on how to replicate the power ranking formula to a tee, in a way that will effortlessly garner hundreds of views, quality be damned.

Concerned about silly things like originality or being unique? Don’t be! Power rankings are the exact kind of uninspired drivel that will engage your viewerbase twice as much as any high effort, well written and creative piece that you could possibly come up with…
