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

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.
