Gyrocopter and 
Anti-Mage(popular carries this patch) have big magic damage elements. Qop,lina,gyro, and leshrac are definitely the strongest heroes this patch, and you'll see them in a lot of pubs, but there's another side to this equation.Why is
Leshrac's win percentage not at, let's say 75%? For the Dota scene as a whole it might just be because there are a lot of noobs playing him. However, my skill bracket is a relatively homogenous mixture of mediocrity, so an "OP" hereo should win a lot right? turns out no, Lesh still only wins like 50% of the time. I believe this is because him being picked a lot has the adverse affect of people knowing how to play against him.People expect you to pick Leshrac mid, they're ready for it. But what if you go OLD METAAAA and pick OD mid? Woahhh they aren't ready for that lane dominance and you have a big advantage.
Let's go to safelane, people are expecting a Gyro/Earthsaker combo but suddenly you hit them with a Void/Sky combo? They can't handle it! Or you run a Tiny/Wisp or a Troll in lane and
they forgot how to play against that combo.
You aren't playing against PPD, they aren't gonna remember weaknesses and strike at every turn. They're noobs! You hit them with some HOHO HAHA and suddenly they're having so much PTSD they can't right click a creep to save their life.
If you're against some farming antimage and you hit him with that Death Prophet/Veno/Razor deathball, what's he gonna do? Split push with brown boots and a RoH?
The point is, don't get so caught up in the current meta because the old ones can still be good. Icefrog doesn't really overnerf stuff most of the time..or nerf them at all(Storm Spirit). They won't be quite as strong, but they give you that surprise factor. I haven't played against a Death Prophet in like 3 months, If you played that against me right now I'd be like what the heck do I do against these spirits.
We aren't League of Legends boiz, we have a lot of heroes. Use them.

Best quote ever.
Someone understood. Even though the game is centered in pro scene, our aim is to market it to masses.
Even today, you can deathball against greedy drafts. It is not that powerful but it certainly is there. Early aggression is still present, so is late game dominance. We want ganks, we want farming an objective, not farming a map.
