Havent had internet for 3 months (basically since 7.00 came out). I need help figuring out the meta. What are the meta heroes for mid and carry (and other roles maybe). Also, generally, whats the gameplan now? I noticed that first fights happen a lot earlier now then before. Whats the best way to climb now.

Also, what resources could i use to get better? 3.2k mmr scrub :(

7.05 - Arc Warden tem build quesiton.

Posted: 06 May 2017 01:56 PM PDT

The title says it all, I'd like an item build from an experienced AW player, I know that there is no such thing as the one and only build you should go with in every single game, but I'm asking for a general build with additional informations like situational items etc. Would you still go Necrobook?

the title said it, how?

I know how ridiculous the gpm after radiance is but the point is before the radiance comes online.

I mean, the radiance timing is a factor, yes, but how they get it so fast like 15-18 mins?

I'm talking more from a pro-level perspective than my shitty pubs. Whenver I'm watching pro dota it feels like getting an early game advantage (unless its absolutely massive) doesn't really do much anymore.

Because of shrines you're pretty much ensured that:

Your lane harass doesn't have as much of an effect cuz shrines, so there's one early game advantage nullified
If you gain an early kill advantage you can't push for further aggression cuz shrines
If you take an early tower lead you don't take as much map control away cuz shrines

Pointers on playing chen, especially on micro macro

What are the usual items you go for? what's the suggested playstyle for chen throughout the many stages of the match? How do you organize your unit for the most comfortable experience possible? What is the common pitfalls and how to avoid it? Thanks!

As a side note, i tested chen on several bot matches goinf for the gg boots and then aghanim itemization, early game i took the harpy and the purple hadouken dudes, during mid game i take either them or get me some wolves and stack up some siege creeps for pushing, late game i stack as many disable as possible (the net troll and centaurs)

Thoughts on 7.05 Axe?

Posted: 06 May 2017 12:23 AM PDT

Title. I for one feel like Axe is the strongest off-laner in the game right now; of course, I might be biased. From what I've seen and experienced though matches -either Axe being on my team, played by me, or on the opposite team- leads me to believe that Axe is way stronger than most off-laners (and junglers to some extent) and just overall way strong period.

I think this is mainly due to Berserker's Call in combination with the reworked Blade Mail making Axe deal often times ridiculous amounts of damage and making right-click (especially melee) carries a nightmare to play against a good Axe and/or an Axe that has had a good start. What are your thoughts?

need help finding a dota replay site

It's a website where you can look at 6kmmr games for replays of certain heroes to see how they're played. Does anyone know what it is so I can bookmark it?

Invoker Build 7.05

Posted: 05 May 2017 04:25 PM PDT

Hey guys, 4.5k midlaner who never touched Invoker. Until last patch, I played him a couple times. I was a big fan of the RTZ Build

Wraith - > aquil - > raindrop - > wand - > brown boots - > mias - > drums -> aghs

I see alot of null -> mias now.

What is the new item build? I saw CanceL just bought a value void stone. is that the most effective?
