| Drafting guide (slight role guide) for newer players Posted: 23 May 2017 05:59 PM PDT Hey guys I know this has probably already been posted here but I just want to say I am still a massive noob when it comes to DOTA 2 with hardly any hours and lack of mechanical knowledge and stuff like that. This guide has helped me so much in knowing what positions do what and with the knowledge of drafting and countering before I've even hit level 20 will help me study the meta and heroes aswell I am trying to better myself as a player I have now started winning more pub matches and not dying as much. That is also thanks to this subreddit also, so thanks guys! [link] [comments] |

| How do I get a fast level 2 on Crystal Maiden in this patch? Posted: 23 May 2017 12:00 PM PDT Does the old trick not work anymore? Frostbite a creep from hard camp, pull, frostbite another, level 2 - that doesn't seem to work now. I didn't really play since like 7.02, so did they nerf Frostbite or give jungle creeps more health/less exp or what? [link] [comments] |
| How to tell the difference in neutral camps? Posted: 23 May 2017 04:56 PM PDT What is the difference between the hard, medium, small, etc. camps? I keep seeing references like "stack the hard camp" and I can't figure out what camp is what. Is their a map that shows this or does it depend on how many creeps are in the camp? [link] [comments] |
| What went wrong in this Magnus game? Posted: 23 May 2017 08:20 PM PDT https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3199777809 I went mid this game, and it started out beautifully, i had an easy lane against an Invoker that was playing really passively, farmed well and had my Treads/Blink/Echo Sabre completed in what I'd call a pretty good timing. The game started going downhill however when at one fight I completely whiffed my RP, then tried to split push and got picked off immediately after, probably feeding a huge amount of gold. Late game just involved me giving Empower to Sniper and pray that we can defend the base, which we ultimately couldn't. is there anything I could have done to comeback from this? Or should I just focus on landing better RPs :p? [link] [comments] |
| Tips for going high ground in 7.06 Posted: 23 May 2017 05:34 AM PDT Basically title. I've noticed my average game time in 7.06 is the highest it's ever been, around 50/55minutes - it's mostly because in every game around 35 minutes, the team with the advantage dances around going high ground. It's become so hard, that in many games even a 10-15k gold advantage doesn't feel comfortable, and half the games end with the team trying to go uphill getting wiped and then the defending team bombing down mid and skipping barracks. Anyone have good suggestions for going HG when the other team isn't leaving their base? [link] [comments] |
| Transitioning from LoL to DotA2. Had 8 recommeded heroes to choose from. Posted: 23 May 2017 08:08 PM PDT So while I was googling "LoL to DotA2" for the transition guides, I stumbled upon DotaBuff's guide and its LoL-to-DotA Character recommends. I got :
I need someone to give me the ELI5 versions of these heroes so I could pick one to start with when I start to play. Thanks a lot! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 08:08 PM PDT I just recently calibrated (to 1.3k) and learned that I'm probably not as good as I thought I was as (thought I was 2k material tbh). I believe you're only as good as your teammates at least when it comes to ranked as I'm sure the MMR system works. So instead of blaming my teammates can someone tell me what I should've done during this game (if you wanna do some of the others too I won't complain =D) Hero is Phoenix (pos 5) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 07:18 PM PDT I just did a ranked game as Luna for the quest to get her skin. While I don't normally play Luna I felt I could have farmed more efficiently I just don't know how I could have. Here's the match ID 3200392387 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 08:41 AM PDT I remember watching a Bulldong video where he was talking about talents and he said "if there's a movespeed talent less than +20, don't even bother with it" and since then, I've been sticking to this idea. Is it a good line of thought to have? It makes sense to me. [link] [comments] |
| Players with 1 MMR (glitch/exploit?) Posted: 23 May 2017 01:43 PM PDT Occasionally I will see someone in a game with a displayed solo MMR of 1. Usually, that player ends up stomping the game with something like 20 kills and 2 deaths and the highest GPM in the match. Then after the game, you look at their profile and see there's no way they could've been 1 MMR, simply because they've won a lot of solo ranked matches recently with very few losses, so even if they started out at zero, they should have gained several hundred MMR from the last few weeks alone. Here's one I encountered the other day: https://www.opendota.com/players/376822142/matches If you look at the match history, you'll see a dramatic switch on page 6. Looks like someone was deliberately feeding (every game literally something like 0/20/1) for a couple hundred Single Draft and co-op bot matches. Then no activity for a few months, then suddenly stomping 90% of games. I mean, obviously some kind of abuse is going on, or a different person is using the account ... I know all these things happen, but what I am really curious about is how they get their MMR to keep showing as 1? Weird thing about the match itself, this person played as Tiny and at about the 8-minute mark literally started one-shotting people from full health with Toss - no Avalanche, no items, just a bottle and mana boots. I didn't even think it was possible to do that based on the simple math of the thing. Game stats said his biggest hit was a Toss for 428, and I don't think any hero even has starting HP that low. At any rate, is there a known bug that lets people display an MMR of 1? What on earth could these people be getting out of this? Doesn't make much sense to me. This is not the first one of these accounts I've seen either, just the most memorable because it was recent. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 23 May 2017 01:59 AM PDT I want to learn how to use him properly. Item builds and skill builds are very much appreciated. I recently just played him and I feel like my micromanagement with the illusions was terrible and I couldn't get my items fast despite me, having illusions in which I can farm different areas.

| What heroes are viable now? Can't feel any impact... Posted: 23 May 2017 03:44 PM PDT Hi there! Tell me guys what heroes are viable now? I think i don't know meta enough so i can't win any match(Or my teammates suck really hard...) You know.. I dont feel any impact in game, no matter what i pick. My dotabuff if someone is interested: https://pl.dotabuff.com/players/186087934 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 08:12 AM PDT this guy is out of control in this couple of days for me. even i build a freakin silver edge , it doesnt work. Can u guys suggest any other methods or hero mechanics that can kill this son of a beach faster like hell fast so that he just deleted from dota map instantly fast like seriously like lightning fast? THANKS [link] [comments] |
| Where to find fellow noobs? (Don't upvote) Posted: 23 May 2017 03:43 PM PDT I seem to be having the hardest time finding a fellow noob to learn dota with. I have about 200 hours in the game, and have only just now started getting into ranked. I would love to find someone at the same level as me, but most teams I play with are so toxic that I wouldn't want to play with them anyway. How do you guys find others to play casual matches with?

| What resources are there for learning good positioning? Posted: 23 May 2017 08:04 AM PDT People have said that it's "just something that comes with practice" but I have been practicing and it is NOT working for me. Any resources out there giving explanations of why something is good or bad positioning and how to improve upon a position? [link] [comments] |
| I have no idea what I'm doing wrong! Please help this helpless casual noob get past... 500mmr. Posted: 23 May 2017 03:05 PM PDT I don't play DotA super often and I'm really casual about it, but goddamn I cannot get past even 500 MMR. And I have no idea why. I know a few things - I'm terrible at melee characters, I can't tank or jungle, and I'm much more comfortable as a support or at least partially a support. I try to do all the good support-y things: deny creeps, let the carry farm with last hits, place wards, but I know I sometimes do really stupid shit like accidentally double drop wards or put a ward in sight of another one already, and I'm trying to get better at those things. I don't have a huge amount of versatility. Characters I play tend to be intelligence ranged characters - shadow shaman, death prophet, zeus, bane, disruptor, skywrath mage - with the exception of sven, tidehunter, and juggernaut I've tried playing a couple times, but I don't understand them as much. Also for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use blink dagger effectively (could be because it's a bit pointless on some of these heroes?). I've heard that support+low versatilty can be a problem in low mmr games as it's near impossible to just solo something with these (rather squishy) characters if your teammates aren't great. Most games I do seem to be a really easy win or really bad loss, there's very few tight matches. I've read all the guides I can think of, I vaguely know what items my character needs depending on how the game is going... I just have no idea what to do to win more consistently. Now, fair warning: I know that I'm pretty shit at this game, but I'm looking for some actual advice if anyone has any, and telling me to "uninstall DotA" isn't helpful and I'll just ignore those comments. Here's my dotabuff if that helps at all? I have no idea what I'm doing. https://www.dotabuff.com/players/95675676 Thanks in advance for any help! [link] [comments] |
| What happened?? [Troll Warlord] Posted: 23 May 2017 06:46 AM PDT So I just had this game of TW and the laning stage was almost perfect 60+/10+ by 10 and 2 kills and it was looking to be a great game. So out of nowhere, at least to me, the tides were turned and PA was suddenly a killing machine racking kills left right center and that created space for the NP to farm up his items very quickly and the rat started. I was at a loss at what to do and was going for silver edge to disable the passive of PA but that came too late as I keep trying to help my team secure kills but the tables were always turned back on us in an instant. I'm kinda confused at the apparent good start and the abrupt transition into almost a nightmare:O What did I do wrong and how could I have improved on it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 05:37 AM PDT I admit that I'm If anyone feels like analysing my dotabuff profile, I'd be happy. I calibrated Int ranked and got worse than what I had for normal ranked calibration a year ago. I just wanna get out of 1k... Dotabuff profile: https://www.dotabuff.com/players/183816737 Its quite tragic. [link] [comments] |
| Who are some non-support heroes that can be played decently/good as support? Posted: 23 May 2017 12:30 PM PDT I'm looking for new heroes as supports. I enjoy playing as support, and was thinking about some non-support heroes that could be played as one, like str Morph or old 1,200 dagger PA. It's just to have fun. Not serious ranked or anything.

| Posted: 23 May 2017 12:03 PM PDT https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3199958966 Im the jugg. i think my item timings were ok and i showed up to teamfights at opportune times. did i just itemize wrong against the sven? we definitely didnt control their jungle or pressure their lanes much enough but im not sure how i can do that and also keep up my farm [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 May 2017 03:16 AM PDT https://www.dotabuff.com/players/242070602 Anyone Can Suggest To Me What I Can Do To Improve As Clinkz? I feel like i dont farm enough or sometimes im just going around looking for someone and doing nothing. edit: my usual build is Aquila Soulring Powerthreads medalion deso then solarcrest also is Soul Ring Still Required On Clinkz Or Nah? [link] [comments] |
