Upgrade your backpacks, the liberation of items is upon us

Jul 22, 2011 - by Strom

Gone are the days of counting those scythes, looking for those bars and thinking about the limit of orbs. The original item restriction rules were conceived about four years ago. A lot has changed since then, including the nerfing of several of these items. So I took upon myself to conduct some inquiries to see what the people of DotA-GC think about all of this. I gathered the opinions of 30 skilled GC players and then I multiplied the opinion by their rating and the number of games they have played here. The results are in and the following percent of people want to restrict items:

40% Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse
32% Refresher Orb
24% Necronomicon
22% Black King Bar
22% Eul's Scepter of Divinity

The choice is quite easy, except in the case of Guinsoo. However upon some further thinking I think allowing even unlimited scythes is the way to go. So to repeat the conclusion: all items are unlimited.
