| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 08:59 AM PST Hello /r/learndota2, back again to ramble on about another trend I've been aware of for a bit, but finally felt the need to pass on the information for those who may just truly not understand. So today we are talking about kills, most importantly what kills mean to a game. Ever since I came to this sub it's been full of posts in which people were curious what they could have done better in a game often boasting some decent farm, usually a higher amount of kills and decent farm. However there are often trends in the form of tower damage or even who the kills are going to and the usefulness someone might feel for their team. So we're going to break down some information into little bullet points to see if I and others who comment can offer whatever advice to players who truly just don't know.
So wrapping up here, some of the information seems confusing so before closing I'll clarify getting kills isn't bad, but you can't win the game with kills alone remember play to the objectives. Other than that if you are curious about anything or have any questions or comments just post them below, and if there is anything I could rephrase better let me know I can edit. Thanks!

| Just Reached 5k. + 2800 MMR, 1250 Games. Posted: 21 Nov 2017 11:33 AM PST https://www.dotabuff.com/players/100364584 Decided to tryhard before new season starts and quite comfortably managed to reach 5k, even though I didnt really think I would ever get it. This patch just seams much easier to climb if you dedicate yourself to understanding the safelane as a support/carry. I managed 73% winrate over 60 games since 7.07. Any questions about this patch / playstyle etc, i'll happily help as i might get into minor coaching in the future. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 01:31 PM PST Liom got buffed quite a bit in 7.07, mainly his talents which makes him more relevant late game. But does this mean that midas lion is good? Midas mainly for the exp to level up, though I cant imagine lion needing a lot of gold, though additional lockdown like rod and sheepstick and maybe even nullifier is potentially good on him (for teamfights) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:59 PM PST Hey guys I'm going to be making a compilation of 6k players or above giving tutorials. I will edit this post every so often as I find more hopefully. Feel tree to add any that you know of. [link] [comments]  |

| I literally never buy Midas, what exactly am I missing out on? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 07:50 PM PST No matter what hero I'm playing, I skip over Midas. Is this a bad decision, or is buying Midas not as greedy as I thought? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:44 PM PST Is Gyro even good at the moment? The early magic damage and AoE physical is pretty good, but is he viable? Onto the actual subject, does anyone have any tips or builds for the carry? He has a lot of potential but guides like Torte De Lini's are just... lackluster. Is he really just simply "Aquilla > SnY > BKB > Aghs" or something similar? When do I pick him and not pick him? According to his abilities he does incredibly well against illusion carries and invisible heroes. Why is he not usually picked? EDIT: I also find that when I ult as him, it almost tickles an enemy. The slow is good, but the damage isn't anything to write home about. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you win games as outworld devourer Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:14 PM PST What items do you build and what is a good skill build? I know that you want power treads for attack speed and INT and that hurricane pike is the first major item that he picks up. But what should I build after pike and treads? Blink dagger? Orchid? Aether lens? (it provides a lot of mana and extends the range of blink, pike, and astral). How do you push highground with OD? He doesn't hit towers very hard? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Meteor Hammer getting bashed Posted: 21 Nov 2017 06:52 PM PST It gives good stats and decent regen for the price. You don't want it on your carries since it doesn't build into anything but on pos 3 or 4 isn't it pretty efficient with a situational useful active? [link] [comments]  |
| For those of you who have gained multiple thousands of MMR, what position(s) did you play? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 05:16 PM PST Curious to hear about the experiences of people who have made significant improvements in their overall skill and how they did it. For those of you who have gained multiple thousands of MMR:

| 5k+ player discord to learn or team Posted: 21 Nov 2017 01:27 PM PST Anyone know of a discord or group that is consisted of high level players (5k+) that is focused on discussing dota/partying but that doesn't want to go professional. Should I go to compdota2 or does anyone know of something similar? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 12:10 PM PST I want to learn offlane, I mostly play position 1 and want to know what the offlane is supposed to do.

| Maxing q or e on Treant Protector Posted: 21 Nov 2017 11:51 AM PST In which circumstances should I max q or e first? DotaBuff seems pretty split on which is better. [link] [comments]  |
| Something in a bot match doesn't add up? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 07:06 AM PST https://imgur.com/1QZynDK I'm new to the game and I've been playing with bots to learn more every day. There was a Necrophos on the enemy team that I was curious about. He was in two way different places at once, and both of him were attacking at the same time. I tried the hero out, and there doesn't seem to be any way he was able to duplicate himself, so... Wtf mate? Am I missing something? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking for guides regarding map controls and advanced high mmr "concepts" of the game Posted: 21 Nov 2017 04:18 AM PST I recently came across Blitz Lee's videos about controlling the map, shoving waves etc, and it helped me to look at the game and map controls consciously. Previously I only instinctively knew some of those stuffs only because I've played Dota 1 for many many years previously (Just starting dota 2 again after many years of hibernation). I also do watch D Bowie's videos too. I feel like right now what is holding me back is probably not knowing what is the optimal move and where to go to have the biggest impacts in the scale of the map and whole game. [link] [comments]  |

| When do you buy Tranquil boots? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 03:52 AM PST I mean, I understand when you buy tranquil boots for the speed/roaming or if you can sustain your mana regen. But, when's the best time to prefer tranquil over arcane? (prioritzing supports here). [link] [comments]  |
| What Should I do If Team Never Wards? (Below 1k Hellpit) Posted: 21 Nov 2017 09:42 AM PST 3 invisible heroes on the enemy team. They are constantly roaming and ganking and winning. We got Slardar and Jakiro who never wards. I play QOP mid and not having a good time at all against SF and Nyx and Riki who constantly ganks me. Tell my team to buy wards, Slardar says that I should buy wards and insults me. I buy wards, can't buy any items and we still manage to lose team fights. Ez defeat. What should I do in a situation like this? [link] [comments]  |
| Does anybody know what the metric will be for the new calibration? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:57 PM PST |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:52 PM PST I can't seem to be able to kill tanks as Pudge, any help? Or is Pudge not the one you want to to be able to kill a tank? [link] [comments]  |
| Im so sick of anti-mage this patch. How do you deal with him? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 06:50 AM PST These andy mage pickers are just, ugh. My bracket (3.5k ish) has one every game and its almost always the enemy. Even if we harass the boy early game he manages to stage a comeback with his battle fury. I main bara to counter him then he builds linkens so i cant charge to him to counter his split-pushing. We win early game but my idiot cores choose to farm so they essentially give more time to the cancer that is AM to be able to farm. He then marches down with army of illusions and tears down our base. This has happened way too many times. What heroes are good counters for him in lane? Im thinking of long range heroes like weaver or clinkz. [link] [comments]  |
| When would you pick Spectre instead of Medusa or vice versa? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 07:51 AM PST Basically what the title says. I know they share a few similarities in the most simplified sense: Both among the best late-game carries, both tanky teamfight bosses, both need substantial time to farm. Both somewhat situational in that you don't want to pick them against obvious early deathball pushing lineups. Beyond that, I don't know what would make one better than the other in a particular game. Spectre is weaker in lane, Medusa is ranged and can go mid if needed, Spectre's illusions seem to be more useful. But other than a particular lane matchup or the fact that Medusa's ultimate works well against specific enemies like CK, I can't tell. I play a little bit of Spectre, and wonder whether Medusa is even worth picking up, or whether one usually works as well as the other most of the time. This is low MMR if that helps (1k give or take a couple hundred depending on the day). [link] [comments]  |
| How to deal with Broodmother mid? Posted: 21 Nov 2017 05:36 AM PST Is this a situation where if she is last picked and you don't really have any heroes to deal with her, you are fucked? She can towerdive like crazy and I've never been able to win a game where she is mid. [link] [comments]  |
