Just keep propagating this. Valve doesn't care about anyone, but if there is a group of people they SHOULD be caring about it is the new players. If they can't attract new audience the game is already one foot in the grave. Matchmaking needs to be reworked.
It's actually somewhat refreshing to hear this from the other end of the spectrum. The matchmaking is completely and utterly broken currently. It is among the worst I've seen in any game claiming to be competitive.
I was Ascendant 3 before stopping for several months and got placed in Ritualist...
Venator can currently do this trivially. You can also put enemy heroes there. Simply use shotgun from in the air.
Doorman can also do this, but it requires more work.
I like this idea, but as mentioned before it begs the question "why not go with wards?". Deadlock is clearly trying to facilitate a low entry barrier moba experience and has been aggressive on trying to filter predefined roles/macro items. This is pretty much just that. If you include it anyway...
I don't think these are the same issue again.
I absolutely agree that the direction here seems to be "drafting is bad" far more so than any Dota offspin, but to derive from this also that "hard counters" within the item-set are avoided goes too far. What about items like Debuff Remover?
Toxicity is a bit of a boogieman. People don't like toxicity, nor do the companies who aforementioned players fund. The issue is that toxicity is extremely difficult to isolate, contrary to popular belief.
From an abstract point of view classify people as being part of one of two groups:

I don't think this is an issue at all, even though the wording on Juggernaut might need some work.
Ricochet is just an item choice. It is not something you are forced to purchase. The fact that someone can buy Juggernaut into it is something you are aware of. The Moon Glaive into Craggy...
Valve barely cares about this forum at all. Everyone here is screaming into the void. I'm actually surprised it's still running at all.
There is a secret closed beta branch with players who they listen to. Everyone here they only vaguely pretend to listen to. I wish they would just be honest...
