| What’s your strategy for drafting in solo queue ranked? Posted: 15 Nov 2017 08:59 AM PST I feel like this is one of the biggest hurdles for me personally. I'm comfortable playing any role and almost any hero. If we have a team that highlights several positions say mid, offlane, and safelane carry, I'll go for that support position. If nobody says anything, nobody highlights a hero, and we're first pick, I have no idea what to do. Do I pick a support, so that we don't end up with 5 cores or some lunatic that would rather jungle than support despite how bad it is these days? Do I pick AM, so that we don't have to deal with that fuckin bullshit and hope that someone will support me? I'll usually try to say something and ask people what they want to play, but 9/10 if nobody was suggesting anything from the moment after the bans were selected, nobody will respond after I ask people what they want. I'm really happy with the drafting order change, but I feel like Valve could do more to improve the pregame. I'd totally be in favor of a short strategy window after the bans, just so we can talk about who wants to support or mid and who's going to pick first. To that extent, I think some UI things could improve this as well. I'm pretty opposed to queuing for positions or solutions like that, but I'd be cool with after the game loaded nudging or even forcing people to indicate what lane they want or select a variable number of heroes they'd want to play. For instance what if after the ban phase, it asked each player to select a few heroes they'd like to play to give their teammates some ideas. You could still opt for something different—I don't think there's a silver bullet here—but at the same time there are so many potential heroes that even a hint would be helpful. So maybe I say I'd like to play Witch Doctor, Oracle, or Weaver. My teammate says he'd like to play Huskar, so I say "alright I'll play Oracle if you want to do Huskar" Right now it feels like there's so much pressure to make a pick. Thoughts? How do you approach it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Nov 2017 08:24 AM PST I am seeing a couple of pros trying this out even against non-illusion carries. Is it really worth getting it over the early SB? Can someone better at the game explain this, I don't understand. [link] [comments]  |
| I haven't joined the Kaya hypetrain Posted: 15 Nov 2017 02:55 PM PST I just can't justify purchasing Kaya on 90% of heroes. Anyone want to give their opinion? Yeah the stats are nice, the extra spell damage is nifty, but it's a dead end item that I would only purchase on someone like storm spirit. Most heroes I think I would much rather purchase a utility item that helps me survive, dish out more spells, or chase the enemy. In what event is a straight damage increase and int boost worth buying? [link] [comments]  |

| How do you deal with pressure as a carry? Posted: 15 Nov 2017 01:03 AM PST I have been having trouble dealing with pressure as a carry. Its mainly aggressive duo lanes and enemy rotation to the lane I am in. I seem too lose the majority of games when I get pressured early, but If I get a decent lane or free farm I win easily. My last game I played as a void with techies/pudge helping me vs a Centaur and ogre where the enemy starting sending 4 people bottom to shut me down. https://www.dotabuff.com/players/96828122 [link] [comments]  |
| How do you deal with a pressured lane? Posted: 15 Nov 2017 06:47 AM PST Im talking about those situations when laning gets really hard, a recent example could be when im playing brood against a dazzle and sandking, I can't get near wave, another example was when I played sniper, alone in wave versus a puck huskar and viper(that was in low mmr game), I couldnt get close to lane, and tried tto just leach xp, but they would just go around the trees, push wave and tower dive me from all sides. etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Nov 2017 03:34 PM PST Does anyone know when the new ranking system will come out? Has Valve said anything and I missed it? All I know is is that it's been two weeks and that's when they said the new season would start [link] [comments]  |
| Question on interaction between Invoker tornado and Oracle fortune's end Posted: 15 Nov 2017 12:21 PM PST If you dispel tornado off an ally with Oracle's Q, does it also prevent the damage they would normally take after the tornado ends? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Nov 2017 12:47 AM PST Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Most of my games I'm losing pretty hard. Can anyone offer some help? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Nov 2017 11:52 AM PST I've been seeing this pop up a bit recently, around some high level pubs, RTZ played it on stream, VP picked a 3 position SD against TL. I've seen it played in everything through the 3-1 position. His talent tree got a really nice rework in 7.07, and many smaller changes over time seem to benefit the hero. What do you guys think about giving the hero a higher farm priority? The damage has proven to be pretty ridiculous, scaling well with farm and levels, and he is a great anti carry that makes every squishy while throwing strong illusions back at them. Seems like there is some potential here. [link] [comments]  |
| Pro games and Templar Assassin Posted: 15 Nov 2017 01:02 AM PST basically title, why dont we see basically any templar assassin in pro games? is it due to the cooridnation of the team being able to break refraciton super easy, kill her in lane etc. (sorry if wrong place, thought this would be most appropriate) [link] [comments]  |
| what position does KotL thrive in? and what composition is best for him? Posted: 15 Nov 2017 04:16 AM PST I really enjoy kotl but have a hard time actually playing the guy. Is he a 4 or a 5? And what hero synergies should you look for, and what counters should you look for as Well [link] [comments]  |
