Agreed on Mirana. Also, Dazzle worked wonders about a couple of weeks ago. I think he is still really good, especially with the Legion Commander staying 2nd in popularity, even after the release of new heroes.
http://dotabuff.com/blog/2014-01-29-lets-talk-meta
mirana, dazzle, visage, cm, Bristle, timber, Dk, SS, puck, OD, nyx, chen, enchantress, rubick, invoker, gyro, LS, Shaker
I'm sure i'm missing some...
as for veno... he either does pretty well, or is pure,straight throw.
meta:
1.) vision oriented (6.79 change specifically roshan random respawn time and the 4 minute day-night change)
(clockwerk, venomancer, visage, mirana,balanar, eldertitan ,etc.)
2.)the pool of offlaners have been increased and they have been buffed because they can now get some decent exp
rise of slark and brisstleback(eldertitan and timbersaw?) :)
3.)the nerf of alchemist!
4.)buff gold for supports especially that 6.79 change on gold/sec...
5.)burstdamage pushing lineup
(cm, visage, a;chemist support)
6.) no more batrider autoban
Fast Push->Offlane Furion(one of best choices for push) if not against a suicide trilane, Druid, Timber with his RAW pure dmg and anti push. Pugna DP Chen or any hero on whom Necro 3 is a viable choice.
New Meta -> Splash Farmers or Mid Game carries. Competitive gaming tends now to go with a viable carry that has both midgame presence and lategame. Examples: Luna -> Ultimate insane dmg midgame. Second passive, AOE dmg, splash farming.
Naix, 6 sec free BKB, Freelifesteal which offers chance to get any orb, Insane midgame presence. Good carry lategame, even though i'd say luna is better. Gyrocopter, awesome overall carry. Once u have steel balls to take rapiers like XBOCT one of the deadliest carries to stand against. Also has like 600 magic dmg from 1 skill at lvl 7, good ultimate. Can stack easily ancients and clear them relatively early game ~17 18th minute, with dominator. Weaver, one of the strongest carries in the current meta. Maxing 1 skill before the 3rd is a better i think, because people are forced to either run and lose armor + being damaged and having vision, or staying in 1 place and still die. I don't understand ppl who max passive before the 1st. Fast Linkens/BKB + deso = pretty much gg. Also mobile suports, offlaners or mid heroes to keep pressure on enemy team, while the main carry farms. Examples CM which is rl picked in new meta, Veno, Clock, Timber, Storm, Puck, Enchantress/Chen (good gank potential) Chen - awesome suport, enchantress can be painful lategame.
Special Mention to hand of midas which is picked even on offlaners and some suports sometimes (better avoid) or even miders. Don't take midas after 12 minutes probl. I saw in CM constant bans on : Timber, Lich, Doom, TA.
the current Meta is all about early to Mid game dominance u hardly see any matches with the 20-25 min mark its all about winning the early game dominance

I'm playing lot of CMs and I just can't figure out what is the meta now...
I've seen DP Pugna a lot, even in the competitive scene. Is a pushing meta on now? If yes, why and which are it's heroes?
