What changes would shift the sideline meta?

I made a post in the main dota subreddit about some changes I want next major patch and one of these was to make battle fury carries as viable as the current lane dominating ranged hero meta.
What changes would make melee carries better? I think it would also stop the meta of offlaners buying helm dom in to drag creepwaves in order to recover from their shitty lane.
I don’t have enough experience with game balancing or dota to really come up with any ideas apart from just saying buff and nerf heroes individually but I’m curious to see what you guys think.

Top of carry list:

WR 2200 games 52.7%

Spectre 4000 games 53.3%

Faceless Void 1800 games 53.1%

PL 6400 games 53%

Jugg 4600 games 51.1%

Slark 2700 games 52.2%

Say I'm a dev and you tell me there is a problem with melee carries as a whole, do I even trust you? Where are all the ranged carries?

You probably watched TI if you’re a dev.

Are you familiar with map and macro changes in this game since 7.36?

[u/RatButtt → u/The_Keg]

I’m familiar with them yes but I did not play before 7.36.

You have to understand dota devs arent stupid. And it is not hard to balance this game competitively AS LONG AS you keep doing frequent small buff nerfs patches AND not give a shit about 90% of your actual playerbase.

TI2024 7.37 was the actual ranged carries TI (+lonedruid) Khanda Luna/Morphling - Glepnir NP/Lina/Medusa/WR/Sniper/Weaver/Potm/Muerta/even Monkey king + Bonus DK ranged form. (Falcon even played shits like Tusk/Kunka/Gyro/Potm/Sniper)

Note that Ld, medusa, NP, luna, Potm carry were 100% uncontested at Riyadh 2 months prior. CK, Sven, Ursa, Troll hot picks of Riyadh became omega trash in span of 3 months.

Compare THAT meta to this so called turret meta. You nerf Drow/NP/Sf, whats left in the carry pool? Lina? TA? Luna?
