So with TI meta becoming clear, How are you going to deal with the influx of picks on popular heroes?
Many are already Popular but there are going to be a TON of Gyro, QoP, Tusk, SF, AM Ect.
Out of these heroes, who do you hate playing against, and how are you going to deal with this mass influx?

I consider all of those heroes to be manageable apart from QoP maybe. Gyro doesn't scale amazingly well with farm, Tusk is squishy, has no real escape and requires coordination, SF is susceptible to ganks throughout the whole game, AM can be bullied out of lane easily and needs too many items to become relevant.
AM is so good vs QOp
I don't know about that. AM can't lock down QoP without Abyssal, he is weak to her ultimate and if QoP gets an early lead in the midgame, which she can do easily, the game might be over before AM reaches his peak. QoP is also a natural Hex carrier and can surprise AM with Blink, which means he can't freely splitpush/farm. She also doesn't use as much mana as some other Int semi-carries.
if you are good AM you wont be in center of teamfight, just blink in and ulti her as soon as she blink /screams.100% kill
you think gyro does not scale well with farm? I feel he is arguably the best scaling hero with good farm...
The only thing about him that scales is Flak Cannon and even that doesn't scale with things like Crit or Orbs. And it's 6 attacks every 30 seconds. Medusa has a comparable skill on a toggle and she has a 60% damage mitigation skill as well. Of course she isn't nowhere near as strong in the lane or midgame, but saying that Gyro is the best scaling hero in the game is a overstatement. There are plenty of heroes who can stand against him and even three-shot with equal farm after 2-3 major items are up on both.
Thats fair, I guess I only think of late game in terms of 5v5 team fights, in which I would still argue Gyro being right around the top currently (probably wrong) but your right as a 1v1 setting.
they are already picked all the time in my bracket. Dont care if 3k trenchlords are catching up to the meta
I hate playing against a well played Lesh mainly because I have to pick Omniknight, the most boring support in the game next to Lich. Strangely I haven't seen that much Gyro in my bracket. QoP is easy because people don't know how to avoid Rupture damage when they blink. Bloodseeker just needs to be chain stunned and focused.
Ahh yes... Lesh is tough right now, I don't know it high level play but viper seems to do well against him at my level.
