Possible 1.27 Hero Tiers / Metagame?

[Gavrin]

Hi all. Fairly new here and still experiencing what 1.26 has to offer. I'm interested to hear what the experienced players think about how the current heroes will perform in the next patch, something along the lines of

T1 (tourney worthy)
T2 (playable but edged out by T1)
T3 (too many bad matchups)

[Barring a nerf, I'm sure Gravebone will shoot up to T1 with the expected combos people have been posting]

[CodeDomination]

t1 Gravebone, Zal rush, and priest anti-meta

[Killtrend]

Majiya is unchanged in 1.27. So majiya. And Gwen. Probably Amber.

It's seriously more of the same with increased Zal and grave dominance. (both going from T1.5 to T1)

[Ringel]

My predictions (in addition to heroes mentioned above):

Majiya will still be tier 1. Boris and Amber will be tier 1 too, even having to contend with Jericho.

[Gondorian]

T1: Human Warriors, Priests and Shadow Mages will be top tier.

T1.5: Zaladar will be edged out due to the Hellsteed nerf. Gwen will be edged out due to there being more weenies to deplete her bows and more high vitality allies.

T2: Everyone but Wulven and Victor.

T3: The rest

I've always felt the priests (esp. Jericho) have access to a large number of counters.

@Killtrend: Yes, it would likely be more of the same. I was just curious which heroes would go up the ladder after the patch.

I just wish they gave Wulven more support though. They feel left out.

Add: what was the hellsteed nerf?

Only adds 1 attack now. It's still being discussed but I think Calmdown has decided already.

Changed to +1 Attack rather than +2.

[Killtrend]

Changed to +1 Attack rather than +2.

Yet another reason to run Puwen.

Honestly, ever since Blake got changed (read: anal raped) he joined the club with HBM Transference and Sandra. Great.
