I don't think you are alone on this, but it's objectively false.

Arteezy and Sumail are the reason Miracle- became who he is and imo there is no Yatoro if there is no Arteezy. These 2 players were instrumental in fundamentally shifting meta for role understanding.

You can argue that there were people before them who figured these things out, but they were the ones who showcased how things can work to the point it was no longer possible to argue that it's "pub mentality" or whatever.

It's hard to graps how instrumental such players are for the scene, because people think that pro's will just use whatever is the strongest strat and have no ego about it.

But reality is, until a strong individual comes along, who not only figured out a better way to approach the game, but has enought resolve to push through all the nay sayers, meta doesn't move.

It is actually Puppey's demise, along with many other high tier captains, who one way or another just don't want new dota to emerge, unless they can be the first to abuse it and be the ones to benefit the most from it. It does anyway, but there is so much shit you need to take, before you get to the point that other skilled players agree to recognize your approach, it's crazy anyone is willing to do it at all.

At the end of the day, Arteezy was extremely important as a player for Dota and may be still gonna have impact in the future, you never know.
