I started watching some dota matches, especially PGL, and players tend to pick from a really small group of heroes, like: storm spirit, techies, pugna etc

Well it sounds like a good thing, to keep the game fresh, and to jazz things up a little. The only thing I don't like is when I watch tournaments I always see the same few heroes, and no variety of all :(

Unfortunately just a symptom of the structure of the game. Some heroes are just too good right now. Undying and Shadow Demon come to mind. They have have great saves. Last patch almost across the board stun duration was lowered. I'm willing to bet the rise in popularity of a saving support is due to this change.
