Missing educational DotA content

Hey, I'm running educational dota channel Support Heaven and I would like to ask you if there's anything that you feel like is a topic that is not well-covered on youtube yet. When I was climbing mmr, I always missed content that included high mmr players explaining their thoughts, as that was something I was missing a lot as support players. Since I'm running a channel now, and I have a lot of focus on that, perhaps there's something that people would like to see. Thanks for any feedback and ideas!
