Adam and Stan sit down for a good old chat about the meta-game, focusing on 6 heroes to try in a patch that seems to be establishing itself a few weeks on from release. With Marco absent, the duo move from 2 heroes that dominate loudly: Lifestealer and Ursa (06:51), to covering a rising response pick in Razor (31:45).
