No[o]ne stated that patch 7.38c has literally destroyed one of the positions in Dota 2

Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko, PARIVISION midrunner, said that after the release of patch 7.38c, the centerline has become the worst position, and his role now reminds him of a sapporter with a narrow pool of heroes.

The Dota 2 pro scene legend revealed this in an interview at ESL One Raleigh 2025.

“I don't know how it happened, but it seems like mid has become a **** position again. Nowadays I need to help buff a four, an offlaner or a kerry for unknown reasons. Sometimes even a 5 needs experience, so I'm giving it away. Yes and take it. I have no runes, no one will refill my Bottle - take it all”

No[o]ne noted that the latest gameplay update has significantly worsened the position of mids, and now you have to choose from 5-6 heroes just to avoid losing your line. Moreover, the pro-player noted that he now feels like a sapporter.

“Why do I feel like I feel like I'm playing on sapport in most matches when my character isn't some Sniper? I'm confident, but right now I feel weird on mid. Right now you can choose from 4 heroes. Maybe 5-6 heroes at the most, and sapports have 20 of them. Mid has to take a certain character, because otherwise you just lose. And you don't want that”

According to him, other positions now have a much larger pool of heroes, while mids have become literally tied up and have to choose from a narrow pool. Moreover, No[o]ne noted that he has to help farm other positions, which was not required before.
