The worst part is, most of the lower tiers of the community are just as unimaginative, if not way worse, and so you won't see any innovative counter lineups in pubs until the pros figure it out - which only adds to the image that certain heroes are too strong. Even if you pick Medusa to counter Luna in a pub, your team can easily let you down by not building the team around your strategy.
All in all, Gyrocopter only excels when he has room to sit back and spam flak cannon. Introduce a shadow blade SB to the game and he will go from full health to dead before he even has a chance to pop his BKB. Problem solved. Early game, where he is really hard to fight toe-to-toe because of rocket barrage, SB gets 1100 health with nothing but treads and can just tank it and kill him. Suddenly scary hero has to hide and can only farm if he's on top of towers.
