| How to deal with high aggression teams? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 02:51 PM PDT When you don't have ample wave clear or dedicated split pushers (morph, np, invoker, etc.), how do you deal with a draft that just runs at you? Viper, veno, and bristle all just charge in, while zeus does hefty back line damage. I try to split push, but it can only do so much. They won there lanes because that's what there heroes do, and you have little-no farm. You can't just turtle, because if they are any good they will just choke you in the base and get way more farmed. [link] [comments]  |

| How should I ideally introduce a new person to dota? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 06:32 AM PDT So a friend of mine recently showed interest in playing and learning dota, and I am going to help him in this journey. However, I don't know how exactly I should go about teaching him or what kind of advice I should give, so any kind of help or ideas would be appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Is Kunkka support still viable? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 05:48 PM PDT Looking at picking up a new roamer and I'm not sure if he's still good in the meta. I'm not into only playing OP heroes, but it does help my MMR out from time to time. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 11:29 AM PDT We just lost our Battlecup in the first round. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3315503382 I´m the Lifestealer in this game. We were vs a hard teamfighting team, but we were forcing a stupid Roshan-fight. I think we lost the game due to this. That is the biggest mistake I can see myself. Can you review this game any further and point on some mistakes? Also I would like some opinions on the draft. We wanted a sniper mid, but prefered a lifestealer or jugger mid when we saw all these blink heroes picked. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is this game harder the less mmr you have? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 05:07 PM PDT Went like 2.4k mmr to 1.6 mmr in a month and im playing worse and worse, not just me but all my random m8s im plaing with seems to not know how to play the game.
What should I do? I have some few heroes im good with but when i pick them and not just because im good but because the other team pick heroes i should fuck them with, im still loosing? [link] [comments]  |
| I'm a new Dota 2 Player who also plays a lot of League, looking for advice and tips. Posted: 15 Jul 2017 04:57 AM PDT I've played about 15 bot matches and around 10 PvP matches so far, I haven't made much progress in terms of becoming a better player, because I still seem to suck. A few things I have noticed in this game, is that it seems to be a lot easier than it is in LoL to make plays in other lanes and get kills, because of the immense amount of CC this game seems to have, another is that it seems you fight a lot more and get a lot more kills than in LoL. (I keep comparing to League because its my main game) So heres the questions that I have; 1. What heroes should I pick up that are simple, easy, and or good to learn the game with? 2. What are some good YouTubers and Streamers to watch that are educational, and will help someone like me learn the game? 3. How often should I look for kills/roam the map to other lanes? 4. Where do I watch Dota 2 Esports? They don't always seem to be on Twitch. 5.What game modes should I play? 6. And finally what are just some random tips that you could give me that I could apply to my games? Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I sincerely appreciate any and all responses to this post. As soon as I finish typing this I am going to sleep, considering it is 5:00 AM in L.A, so I will reply to comments when I awake :D Again, thank you for any help :) [link] [comments]  |
| I just cant win with Tinker. Can anyone help me please ? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 04:19 PM PDT I have no clue how people stomp pubs with Tinker. I just cant seem to get anything right with this hero. I have lost my last three matches with this hero and it certainly isnt luck or anything. Their is something wrong with me and the way I play him. Can anyone please tell me what the fuck is wrong with my play ? I dont have trouble in lane, but its everything after that. I have no clue how to win teamfights. Spam rockets, or march or laser. Also i notice so many times when I am pushing lane my team takes a stupid fight 3 v 4 or 5 and lose it thier. By the time I come all I end up doing is spam rockets or whatever multiple times only for enemy to have left. I really have no fucking clue whats wrong. I am mid 2K, so i am wondering if this hero is actually a high skill hero or I just suck I can understand if one of your feedbacks might be that my item timings are off. Makes sense. But honestly it would do me the world of favour if someone can go through some parts of the replays, and tell me other aspects of my game that are bad other than benchmark related stuff (item timings, LH at 10 etc). Like what I should have done or been during fights. Games in question : [link] [comments]  |
| How do I catch up with patch notes? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 04:06 PM PDT I've all the patch notes but I haven't played that often for a year or so (from 7.00). I often see that I don't know a lot of changes even though I've read about them. How would you suggest me to catch up with patch notes? [link] [comments]  |
| What could've or should've I done differently to secure the win Posted: 15 Jul 2017 03:10 PM PDT Tried a WK game, for the first time in months I discovered it was high skill (like wow that's unheard of for me). Alright. And since min 1 I get Axe coming to my lane to last hit creeps. Well gg. Not really though. Instead of yelling and ranting and doing some stupid stuff I gave the lane to him and went jungling. Over time I think I farmed up decently despite my first 10 mins of a total shitshow of a disaster. I think I have recovered well enough to have some impact in the game by like min 20-ish. We had a chance one time (or 2 times) where we could've won since we were already on the highground, but something went wrong. I'm trying to see where I messed up. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/3315622297 [link] [comments]  |
| Returning player looking for some any sort of advice at all Posted: 15 Jul 2017 02:31 PM PDT I used to play 2 years ago and was about 3.1 k and climbing, but stopped playing due to school and my computer breaking. I recently started playing again with my friends and I made a new account to start over. Short version of the story is that I screwed the pooch in a big way and calibrated at 782 mmr... I seem to have lost any sort of game sense that I had (barely) before. Plz send hlp [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 02:14 PM PDT I have won 18 of my last 20 games, one of them losses being on io, and 11 of the wins being on PL. Nothing to ask just wanted to vent my happiness to the world. This subreddit has helped a lot so thanks to you all too! [link] [comments]  |
| How to play Ember effectively in mid game? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 01:48 PM PDT I tend to do ok as Ember early game and can usually score a few ganks and kills, but in mid game, I have no idea how to play him effectively. He seems extremely underwhelming mid game for some reason and I feel he lacks solo kill ability, so my strategy to negate that is to basically rat, farm, gank whenever possible, and just delay the enemy until late game hits and I can destroy them. Is there anything I can do to make him more effective in the mid game? [link] [comments]  |
| Hit lowest possible MMR in solo queue but usually best player on my team. What now? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 01:33 PM PDT I just hit 1 MMR. The lowest possible. I've been playing for about 300 hours. The thing is I am usually level 25 (or the highest on my team) first. My GPM and XPM are always higher than anyone else. I miss maybe 20% of last hits in the first 10 minutes. I get a few denies here and there. I know what later game items to buy in which situations. But my ranked win rate is about 10 percent if i'm lucky. I usually play mid (Viper) or safe lane carry (Chaos Knight/Sven) and I usually win my lane. I know my way around maybe 8-10 characters well enough for sub 1k and I've tried most of the Tier 1 characters. So what can I do? I'm already typically the best on the team and we lose almost every time. I dont know what to focus on to eek out a win. I've watched all the Day 9 videos and read everything I can find. Is it just a ridiculous losing streak with bad luck? What am I missing? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 08:49 AM PDT I have played DOTA 2 for around 550 hours and would consider myself still rather inexperienced. I have been practicing the mid-lane of late and TA. So far, I've been using Torte de Lini's guide and been building treads-blink-dragon lance-deso-hurrican pike and then judging it from there. However, I have a difficult time transitioning into a strong late game hero. What items could people maybe suggest for TA in the late game. [link] [comments]  |
| Pre radiance Naga Illusion usage? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 11:35 AM PDT So basically in most cases i would send all 3 illusions in lane to insure i get the cs and the enemy hero wont be able to kill them before i get the wave, and my main hero would be clearing a camp. In really free farm lanes i send 1-2 illusions to lane to last hit another to a camp to get some riptide damage in and use my main hero to clear those two camps. Doing this i only manage to get around a 18 min radiance (with arcane boots), and thats with a very good lane too. Usually when i mid my timing is around 20 minutes. I feel like these are some really late radiance timings. Can someone maybe help me out and point out what i may be doing wrong? [link] [comments]  |
| Can Spectre solo kill an Lifestealer or Troll? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 10:54 AM PDT In my last game, I was with: Phase boots, BM, MKB, Tarrasque, Assault and Radiance. And I couldnt solo an troll or an lifestealer that was in the game.. Against those guys, is there an optimal build that I can make to be able to kill them? or lifestaeler and troll is just a natural counter to spectre? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 09:59 AM PDT https://www.dotabuff.com/players/301328059 This is my alternate account that I have started playing regularly on but for some reason can't seem to achieve net positive solo mmr.. I know this sounds like every other post but any sound advice will be appreciated if you could take a few minutes of your time and help me out :( [link] [comments]  |
| New Player, feeling like a feeder, struggling to improve self-toxic mindset Posted: 15 Jul 2017 05:42 AM PDT So...I'm...going to attempt to not let this be ranty mcrantface, but I really don't know where else to put this. I need other people So, I finally had a group of DOTA friends large enough for me to catch the DOTA bug. I'm starting to fully leave the bot game nest, but I'm still massively struggling to find the right mindset to play DOTA without feeling like the worst scum of the earth immediately afterward. (Actually finding the mindset to improve will come later, I'm still at the point where even just playing is going to help.) This, unfortunately, is giving me a sense of anxiety that stops me from playing...and this is just plain old all pick. It's only going to get worse from here. Part of my problem is that I am extremely toxic to myself. I'm the player who all chats "Report CM plz no vision of anything"...while playing the CM. I'm the player who takes Purge way too seriously when he says to hate yourself every time you miss a last hit. I'm the person who will find any given mistake I make (of which there are about 9 million in any given game, but that's expected for someone new,) and then try to explain how that mistake single-handedly lost the game/made the game go much longer. Now, for someone who is in an improvement mindset, that might not be bad, but I'm not doing it to improve, I'm doing it to justify that I'm a terrible player who deserves to be in LPqueue for the rest of their lifetime. And it doesn't help that I don't understand the term "intentional feeding." Since when should intent ever matter in this game? You don't get a root when you mis-click because you "intended" to click on the hero and not the creep next to him. Why should it matter for anything else? Now, I understand that it's phrased that way so people don't just report players who are having bad games, but the only thing that should matter is "Would the team have a easier chance playing a 4v5 than playing with the 5th player?" So far, out of about 75% of the games that I've played, I would say that my performance would justify answering that question with a 100% yes. So why should I be allowed to play? If someone's unable to dribble a basketball, that person should be "banned" from joining a pick-up game until they can prove otherwise. The same should go for me. So now I'm about to watch the replays of the 2 games I've played, so that I can see just how horribly I ward, how terribly I counterward (All the wasted sentries), how easily I let myself get de-warded (Oh, you just got de-warded from a high ground spot? Don't ward the same place 30 seconds later you dumbass!!) and how lack of vision allowed the Pudge to combo lock me to death 6 times last game, why that resulted in the game lasting twice as long as it should, why we should have lost that game if it wasn't for a poorly timed split push on their part, and considering that, should anyone from valve see this, that they would permaban my IP immediately because I'm so bad. Maybe I'll learn something. Most likely I'll just feel like shit. Sorry for this being ranty, but I'm not sure how I can better phrase this. There's a part of me that loves this game, but before I can learn how to improve at Dota I need to learn how to enjoy Dota. And right now, the feeling of constantly ruining 9 other player's experiences every second of every game is preventing me from doing that. Linking Dotabuff in case it is at all useful (though I doubt it): https://www.dotabuff.com/players/70571941 [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 08:26 AM PDT Looking over my anti-mage matches, I did bad on most of my games. One problem I noticed is that I cannot simply farm fast enough (especially when laning with a carry even if I beg to lane with a suppport). In result, I usually get battle fury by 18 minutes in my average game, and about 23 mins in horrible games. Any ideas on how to farm faster? And is there an effective "fighting am" build in case my farm is hindered? I really like anti-mage's mechanics and would like to play him, but I play horrible at him. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Jul 2017 07:50 AM PDT Hey I'm a 2k mmr player who has around 2.6k hrs in game. I'm planning on switching from wasd camera control to the mouse controls. The main reason that i feel the need to switch is because most of the heroes i suck at playing (and the ones that seem the most fun like meepo or invoker) requires a lot of hotkeys and I've been told that i can get better at those heroes and the game by switching from wasd to the mouse. I haven't decided to go for edge-panning or camera grip yet. I would like some advice or tips from you guys to help me in this transition of gameplay. [link] [comments]  |
| Importance of shoving out lanes? Posted: 15 Jul 2017 05:32 AM PDT Just watched Day[9]'s "Stomping Mid" video with Blitz, and Blitz constantly stresses the importance of shoving out lanes, but he doesn't really give solid reasoning as to why? Only "the whole game is based around shoving out lanes", "if you don't shove lanes you're garbage at Dota", and "if you shove out lines and die it doesn't mean anything" - and these could well be true (and considering it's Blitz I'm sure it is) could someone please clarify why it's so important to shove out lanes?
